First name and last name seems to be standards "Personal datas".

We could imagine to delete all personal datas from fe_user and put these 
fields in the new extension you propose.

But if for compatibility reason, we have to keep name, address, zipcode, 
city, country, phone, fax, email, photo, company and (job) title for a 
FE user, please, don't revert commit : first name and last name have a 
place in this fields list.
