I agree with the names. Even just the ordering of first/last name can be difficult. I come from Korea where last name always comes before the first name in a formal setting.

Perhaps you should just require "full name" which the author of the resume would decide for him or herself.

Facebook takes a "family name" and a "given name", and asks you which order to display them, right?

Facebook also supports middle names too, though.

or, have both fields, which the author needs to fill in. This makes it easy to parse the data, but also makes it readable by humans, by separating it into different fields, for different purposes.
