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.
