It may be more feasible to let *them* decide what they want to be called. Family names most likely are unworkable, particularly with a large component of Smiths in the population base. So rather than having the name somehow be a direct reflection of the person as they are with the org naming rules, why not let the private residential applicant pick their own site name, so long as it's unique to that subdomain? The only other alternative I can see would be to resort to numbers ala Compu$erve, be they SIN, serial by order of application, etc. /---------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Tim Kuehn | TDK Consulting Services | timk@tdkcs.waterloo.on.ca | | <>< | Ask me about news and mail in KW! | (519)-888-0766 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------------/
