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.
