I don't think that what you're implying there is true at all.  I know the 
Lab has heard from *many* folks that they'd like to be able to choose 
their names, rather than having to pick a first name and one of a list of 
set last names.

On the other hand, there have been less than a dozen people here 
complaining about it, and something like half of the complaints have been 
due to misunderstanding the impact it will have on scripts etc.  (That 
page in the Wiki really needs work!)

This is one issue where I think the Resi (and potential Resi) feedback 
would be overwhelmingly in favor of the change.  So not a good one to 
choose for the inevitable "they aren't listening!!" message.  :)
