Middle name not supported

The name should be "George R.R. Martin".

I'd like to point out that my Spanish friends have three names and are universally known by the first and middle. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_naming_customs and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_customs_of_Hispanic_America

I have observed that Iberians use the first&second names for general use, and email addresses, and people from the other side of the atlantic first&third. I don't think this is a hard and fast rule. I expect many ubuntu contributors know a lot about this!

My Sikh friends also use thier first&second names, because the second surname is almost invariabley Singh or Kaur (it does not /have/ to be)

I have four names, and would expect both my middle names to be represented.

My father had seven, and insisted on all of them all the time.

And then there is the issue of diminutives and customary contractsion....

Need to make sure notifications for incoming text and phone calls correctly show full name as well

Except possibly in the Contacts app itself (where you might want to sort by last name), a contact’s display name should always consist of the same characters in the same order.

The method of calculating this display name will become more complex over time, as it grows to include code for handling middle names, nicknames, suffixes, line breaks, tab characters, contacts with no name but multiple phone numbers, and other quirks.

I don’t think it’s sensible to expect every place that uses a display name to include an exact copy of this code, and for us to remember every callsite whenever we change it. So I’ve added middle names to the “Contact display name” algorithm, which I wrote for group chat feature, and proposed it to be used for contacts in general. <https://goo.gl/LVzFF0>

This bug was fixed in the package telephony-service - 0.1+16.10.20160601.1-0ubuntu1

  * Contact name now checks for QContactDisplayLabel to display full
