BlissB:Like I said earlier.... It all depends on the usage, while in school as a student, your surname is what comes first.... Though you may be recognized by your first name.... I, however, feel that there is no hard and fast rule to it..... It varies..... Howdy dear..... Happy sunday... |

Actually Nigeria Identity Management Commission NIMC has described the correct order for personal data collection and storage for ease of retrieval and sorting. It is SURNAME, FIRST_NAME OTHER_NAME. That is the acceptable fornat for documenting everybody in all institutions from government to academics to Medicals and every platform. But in personal introduction and informal to less formal settings usually when surname may not be mentioned it is usually FIRSTNAME SURNAME. In order to differenciate these two formats to not confuse a data entry officer, a comma comes after the SURNAME if using the first instance format. |

[color=#000099][/color][img][/img][size=8pt][/size][center][/center][b][/b]the reason is that when it comes to identity details are given in ascending order of privacy for example am from Africa and in Africa am from Nigeria and in Nigeria am from south a south in the south am from rivers ,andoni and from dema then is here that our surname comes in Harry then my name and my other name |
