SSIS:Global Verify:Name

← SSIS:Data Quality Components

Parse and genderize a full name into its respective components.

Input Columns

Full Name

Select the field name that will contain the name information to be parsed. This field can contain one or two full names, such as “Mr. John Q. Smith, Jr.” or “John Q. and Mary S. Smith.”

Company

If the database records may be business type, include the company name here.

Country

The Country name input will be used during processing as a reference point to use the selected Country's common language for more efficient Name parsing. The Country name, abbreviation or ISO code can be used.

Name Options

Name Order Hint

The Name Order Hint tells the Component in what order the name components will be found in the input full name, normal name order, last name first, or a mixture. The default is Varying. The options are:

Option	Description
Option	Description
DefinitelyFull	Name will always be treated as normal name order, regardless of formatting or punctuation.
VeryLikelyFull	Name will be treated as normal name order unless inverse order is clearly indicated by formatting or punctuation.
ProbablyFull	If necessary, statistical logic will be employed to determine name order, with a bias toward normal name order.
Varying	If necessary, statistical logic will be employed to determine name order, with no bias toward either name order.
ProbablyInverse	If necessary, statistical logic will be employed to determine name order, with a bias toward inverse name order.
VeryLikelyInverse	Name will be treated as inverse name order unless normal order is clearly indicated by formatting or punctuation.
DefinitelyInverse	Name will always be treated as inverse name order, regardless of formatting or punctuation.
MixedFirstName	Name field is expected to only contain prefixes, first, and middle names.
MixedLastName	Name field is expected to only contain last names and suffixes.

Middle Name Logic

This option controls how the Component will parse the Middle Name, depending on the method selected. The default setting is Parse Logic.

Option	Description
Parse Logic	In the absence of a hyphen, recognizable last names in the middle of a full name are treated as part of a hyphenated last name.
Hyphenated Last	The middle word is assumed to be part of the last name.
Middle Name	The middle word is assumed to be a middle name.

Correct Misspellings in First Name

If checked, the Component will use a database of common given names to correct obvious misspellings.

Company Output

Company

The company name.

Output Name Columns

Name 1

These fields apply to the first full name detected.

Name 2

These fields apply to the second full name detected.

If the FullName input property contains multiple names, they'll be located under Name 2.

Prefix

This field returns any part of the name that precedes the given name, such as “Mr.,” “Ms.,” or “Dr.”

First Name

This field returns the given name.

Middle Name

This field returns the middle names or initials.

Last Name

This field returns the family name.

Suffix

This field returns any part of the name that follows the family name, such as degrees (“MD” or “PhD”) and generational indicators (“IV” or “Jr.”.)

Gender

This field returns a gender indicator.

Nickname

This is a string value of an identified nickname from an inputted full name.

A nickname is defined as an internal string surrounded by one of the nickname identifying characters [double quote], [single quote] or [parenthesis]. The identified nickname will be returned unstandardized with the identifier intact.

Professional Title

This is a string value of the professional title from an inputted full name.

Many countries within the European Union identify professional titles as a datatype preceding the first name but separate from a name prefix.
