11 Martin Svobodas, 18 Alexander Erikssons, 13 Jason Smiths, 7 Joni Virtanens, 8 Sergei Ivanovs, 5 Christian Müllers, 21 Johan Karlssons...that's just from a very quick glance through the Eliteprospects database, which for the most part only extends back to players active in the last decade. The common Swedish last names alone typically have a dozen or more cases each of 5+ guys with the same first name.

The point I'm trying to make here is this - don't ignore your community because something is easier to do another way. OOTP got to where it is in large part because of the community. When you say things like Using middle names may be convenient for people building picture sets remember who those people are.

You've amputated the second half of that sentence where I say it comes at the expense of researchers. You're asking us to complicate the task of one group of volunteers to make something more convenient for another one - and there doesn't even seem to be consensus among the people editing pictures that changing the naming convention would be easier for them. I'm not ignoring the community, I'm trying to do what's sensible for the largest group of users. You may not agree with the decision, but that's hardly grounds for claiming I'm ignoring the community.
