Comment:
There would be at least two major problems associated with integrating
this change into Django.
Firstly, there is a backwards compatibility problem. Any existing
installation will need to modify tables to include the new column.
Secondly, and more significantly, there is a big i18n issue. While western
European languages have a generally accepted "firstname/lastname"
convention, this doesn't hold for asian names, or names in many other
cultures. it's also problematic from a usability point of view - as an
english speaker, if I saw "surname prefix" on a form, I would have no idea
what to put into that field (I could guess, but it would definitely be a
guess).
If you have user requirements that are as specific as this, I would
suggest defining your own User model.
