What a perfect example of the trolling that this thread has {turned into /
been complaining
about}!

1: You don't know if that person accepts "Chris", do you? Some people prefer
the full name.
2: You really ought to know the vocabulary if you're going to pick nits
about a topic.  The word
    you want is "surname", not "sir name" (as if it had been knighted?).

Normally I'd mark a post like this OT or worse, but this time I don't think
it's needed.
