The Address book, no last name, no entry for you.


The address book application does not allow for entering information for a 
person without something in the last name field. 



This creates a problem for several of my old contacts from an old address book 
from an old note-taker. What do I do with entries like Massachusetts Attorney 
General, and American Printing House for the Blind. Is "blind" the last name of 
American printing House for the? Is "recording" the first name of the 
organization called Recording for the Blind and Dislexic? If so, then, what is 
the middle inicial?



These entries above are just a fiew examples of the dilema created by the 
refusal to create an entry without a last name.



What if a possible business contact only tells me their first name. How do I 
create an entry for George, and Emily, if I don't yet know their last name?



My suggestion is to let users make and save entries with either a first name, a 
last name, or both. It is increasingly more common to call your business 
associates by their first name, anyway.
