Is there a current convention for this? I don't see this as a limitation. The problem is names are complex, and the notion of "middle name" fairly idiosyncratic, and culturally-specific. It doesn't even work for well for a lot of Western names (consider "J. Edgar Hoover"). Since XML is ordered, I'd either include the names in the given name, and split them into separate given elements. Bruce
