If you thought international addresses was bad enough, try getting the *name* of the recipient correct!

I am Chinese by birth and the order of my name is <Family Name> <Personal Name>, i.e. "AAA" is my family name, "BBB CCC" is my personal name.

So, how do I fill the form of countless Westernised website that require a "First Name" and "Last Name"?

I usually fill them as "BBB-CCC" and "AAA", respectively, to get things like auto-generated
salutations correct, ("Hello, BBB-CCC...").

And you have even more trouble with Arabian, Indian, etc. names.

BTW, the following wikipedia entries will give you a flavour of the various combinations of names and addresses:
