In vCard there's support for all kinds of names: family, given, middle, nickname, but also a separate "formatted name". There should be a priority list for which of those would be displayed when available, and a config option to change the preference between at least "given family" and "nickname" (separate pref for "family, given", bug #1439140).
At the moment in the contacts list, I can see the formatted name (as synced from a remote address book), but when I open the contact, family and given names are displayed in the header - and I can't edit the formatted name.
When searching, only the display name is used there's no way to search by other properties (bug #1474308).
Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard, structured name (N) is required in all but v4.0, where formatted name (FN) is required in v3.0+, it seems that the locale/preference-aware formatting would have to happen when editing, and stored in FN.
Organization name should be a fallback, too, if no structured or nickname is given - for organization contacts with no obvious contact person.

We need to remember about what happens when we switch the preference - we'll need to save all the contacts with a new FN (assuming the original FN matched the previous formatting).
