Hi devs,  
  
  
  
Mautic is great, but it treats lead names non-localized-friendly.  
  
MauticLeadBundleEntityLead#getName returns lead’s name as “firstname lastname” or “lastname, firstname”.  
  
This simple rule does not cover international culture!  
  
For example, human name rule in Japan is “lastname firstname” (not include comma).  
  
  
  
Here is a good read about complexity of human names:  
  
[https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names](https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names)  
  
  
  
Of course, we can use firstname only.  
  
Single input field is best compatible with every culture.  
  
However, If Mautic supports more localized human rules, I’ll very happy.  
  
  
  
Thanks!
