The form that assumes your name

766 locales · 252 territories

What a name is made of in 766 locales, and what an address is made of in 252 territories.

The finding. A signup form asking for a first name, a last name and a postcode fails in three separate ways. CLDR gives every one of its 766 locales a second given name, and 447 of them a second family name. Seventy of the 252 territories have no postal code at all — not optional, absent — among them Hong Kong, Macao, Panama and Qatar. In thirty-eight the address does not begin with the person’s name, and thirty locales write the family name first.

Two publishers, kept apart. There is no single authority on how to write down who a person is and where they live. Names come from Unicode CLDR under Unicode-3.0. Addresses come from Google’s libaddressinput, whose data is CC-BY 4.0. CLDR carries no postal address data at all — a recursive search of its repository returns zero address paths out of 9,101. The halves below are keyed differently and are never joined.

What a name is made of

Unicode CLDR · Unicode-3.0 · 766 locales
  1. given 766/766
  2. given2 766/766
  3. surname 766/766
  4. credentials 762/766
  5. title 762/766
  6. surname2 447/766
  7. generation 364/766

Every locale has a second given name. 447 of 766 have a second family name — the Spanish and Portuguese pattern is not a minority case. A first-name/last-name form captures two of these seven.

A required postcode field is not merely awkward in these 70 territories. There is nothing to type.

Two publishers, deliberately not merged. Name data is Unicode CLDR under Unicode-3.0; address data is Google’s libaddressinput, whose code is Apache-2.0 and whose data is CC-BY 4.0. CLDR carries no postal address data — a recursive search of the unicode-org/cldr tree returns zero address paths out of 9,101 — so the two halves cannot come from one source. A locale is surname-first only when its own base language appears in its own surnameFirst list; the lists are per-locale views of every other locale, not a flag. No patronymic or mononym column is derived: CLDR does not record one, and this collection does not invent what a source does not say.
