Notice that it says first name followed by last name. It does not mention given name or family name. First name is the name that comes first. Last name is the name that comes last. If your family name comes first then put it first. If your family name comes last then put it last. No one will caare. Just be aware that if you enter your name as "Smith John" everyone is going to call you "Smith".Originally posted by Kuang ZhiZhao2:
I really resent the fact that I am being forced to reverse the order of my name in order to join JavaRanch. Imagine someone with the name of "John Smith" is being forced to be called "Smith John" on the Ranch?
