+1.  Nothing annoys me more than a form that says "First name",
"Surname", and "Last name": I don't have a last name, just an initial.
I usually put my father's "first name" as my last name when there's an
absolute need to but then all the mails addressed to me make *zero*
sense since they are addressed as

    Dear <Father's "first name">

rather than

    Dear Visuwesh

which always makes me doubt that I got my father's mail *somehow*
instead.  (Side side note: every single time my family needs to fill up
a form, we have a ten minute meeting about what to do with the
first-name-last-name situation; it is not fun as you can imagine.)
    
I sighed a breath of relief when the FSF CA form did not have anything
like "last name".
[ Ever since I came to the university campus, explaining that I have no
  "last name" has been a recurring and fun activity.  ]
