t's not like people don't KNOW the surname is listed first!
Yeah, this is what I find bizarre: people failing even when they know how the system works.
I'd get so annoyed at being called James or Mark. :) Of course it probably doesn't help that the surnames-as-first-names are usually men's first names (...though this is changing a lot in America, where kids all seem to be named Madison or Taylor or Bailey or Riley, it's all so bizarre. My mom's best friend has grandchildren named Cole, Addison and Kenadee. The more I hear about things like this, the more old-fashioned and judgmental I feel about names for babies :) ).
