Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution
Evolution seems to make a division between First, Middle and Last Names in a manner that is not completely international.
Hispanic names, for example, which consist on two surnames, are ported as "First Middle Last" instead of "First Last1 Last2" or even "First1 First2 Last1 Last2".
I found this when syncing my PalmV device. There should be an option to better map those names or just identify the original configuration of fields. When syncing back to my PDA I lose all Middle names, transforming my contacts into "First Last2" which is obviously wrong.
Another bug report regarding the same issue was done four years ago:

I'm using Evolution 2.22.3.1
