[TYPO3-core] RFC #11221 : Feature : Separate firstname and lastname columns in fe_users table

[Benjamin Mack]

Hey guys,

well, my problem is that, like in tt_address, we now have a superflous 
field, "name". It confuses people where to write the name in there, in 
"name" or in "last_name"? How about only having

  * name (which usually is used for the last name and also could hold 
the combined name for backwards compatibility)
  * the new field "first_name" (in a palette to "name")
  * the new field "middle_name" (in the same palette)

All the best,
Benni.
