Mononyms?

In a fictional league with custom name files, is there any way to configure mononyms (one name only, like Beyoncé) for a given ethnicity? Or, if there's no direct support for this, can anyone suggest a hack to approximate this behavior?

Make half their name the first name and half the last? I think you can just have blank first name too…

Haven't tried this, but you should be able to simply delete all the firstname entries for the ethnicity and just use last names. Maybe try with at least one blank first name entry. In theory the game will generate names for that ethnicity with the single firstname and your mononym lastnames.
