Some suggestions on Chinese name structure

[DaPoHou]

In genealogy, Chinese names (including those in East Asia) typically consist of a surname followed by a given name. However, individuals may also have an Art name (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_name) and/or a Courtesy name (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courtesy_name).

For example, during the Three Kingdoms period in history, Zhuge Liang had multiple names: his surname was Zhuge, his given name was Liang, his courtesy name was Kongming, and his art name was Wolong.

1. For individuals with multiple NAME records, it's important to sort and identify the "preferred" name among them. It is suggested that administrators manually set the sorting order for the name structure of each genealogy in the settings.

2. Regarding Generation name: Many people add a Generation name unique to their family when naming their children, to distinguish their position in the family's generational hierarchy. However, not everyone's name includes a Generation name. Therefore, there is no need to separately add a Generation name field in the individual name structure.

What's most important is to display the generation number for each individual, indicating which generation they belong to within the family. This generation number can be displayed in the individual's information. After setting the generation number of their root ancestor, it should be calculated and displayed for each individual accordingly.
