The name field situation has never bothered me as a typical American with the standard name format, but as I've grown and met people from different cultures I've learned just how frustrating that part of forms can be. Even (or rather, especially?) government forms are terrible about this.

Even typical Americans struggle with this sometimes if they have, say, hyphenated last names. I've encountered plenty of software out there that will reject or fail on even such a common case as this.
