This isn't strictly microformats related but I thought a few people

Actually I'm sure the short answer is no, but is there a least evil

Depends on which cultures you're expecting to encounter:

FWIW the majority of people in the world are named with their family
name *before* their given name, assuming that their culture's naming
convention includes those components in the first place...
