And these given names/surnames are obviously interchangeable. There is some hope on the technology front, with the development of software such as the Name Reference Library , which "analyzes name origins, tells the user whether or not multiple middle and last names are in the right order (Egyptian- and Saudi-born citizens often use multiple generational names), and provides a list of the top 10 spelling variants as well as gender associations" -- as well as a similar breakthrough with phenome indexing software.
The problem is that this expensive technology is unlikely to filter down to the front lines -- local LE -- anytime soon.
