That's certainly a problem for a global site. Perhaps there's a need for name style box.

Oh another annoyance is the insistence there is a mobile phone number. I figure the dolts work it out in the end, there is a certain amount who are using that old number they had ten years ago :) ... the next pattern is they then set it to use sms to verify that number ... at which point I figure they're more interesting in mining personal data ... time to move on ...
