Here in the U.S. we usually solve any confusion in a list of names by inserting a comma after the last (family) name, and follow that by the first (given) name:
Whaley, Keith
The armed forces use it that way too, last name, comma, first name! But, we usually sign off messages and other written correspondence like:
keith whaley

Hello PDMLers,
However I take no offence whith this issue, just wand to set things clear. Family name: Boros; given name: Attila. I know it is a bit confusing in an english text, but we hungarians write it on the other way (family name first). Somebody pointed out that it would be much simpler to change that in my e-mail addresses, and write it as everyone else, but I don't feel it right. Actually on my business card it is reversed (given name first)... conform to the company's "rules". Heck... all my life I was a noncomformist, saying that rules were made just for one to break them.
