Hello Antonio. The Addressbook currently requires a minimum of either
last name or company name. So if all you have is a first name, but no
last name and no company name, then a work around would be to put the
word none or na for the company name and leaving the last name blank so
you can add it at a later time.
Many thanks.

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.
