Name Field is a module that provides a CCK / Field Name element.

Drupal 6 features

* Each field type consists of one or more of components from the following list:
Title, Given name, Middle names, Family names, Generational suffix, Credentials. Almost any combination of these elements are allowed, but minimally, given or family must be selected.
* Multiple configuration options for these, including:
o Configurable titles
o Maximum size limit, from 1 to 255
o Optional title placement per element: above, below or hidden.
o Specify the minimal number of components required per field, for example title and given.
o Title and generational suffixes are select lists. On top of field options, the module provides taxonomic integration for these.
o Dynamic CSS width display based on the size. Dropped for direct CCS styles in Drupal 7 version.
* Unlimited number of display formatters.
From version 6.x-1.3 it includes an internal parser to generate an infinite number of possible formats to display names in using custom name format strings.
* Native views module support
* Token module support
* Multiple values are supported via the core fields engine

Drupal 7 features

* Text field support for Titles and Generational suffixes.
* Optional autocomplete options for all text fields
* Inline CCS style options were added for the individual components
* Name Database added. This optional add on contains over 100,000 weighted given and family name entries. This was generated from USA census data.
* Integration between the fields and the names database.

Custom name format strings

These formatters can be as simple as E which will print either the family name, or the given name if the family name is empty.

They can be fairly complicated for specific requirements, such as t+ LG((f-,)+ (x-.)+ (y-.))+ (=[Uc-]). This prints the title, the family name with the first letter in uppercase, the initials of the first and middle names in uppercase, followed by the credentials in uppercase, wrapped in square brackets. This could print something like "Mr Doe, J. J. [B.SC., PH.D.]" for a person that has filled out all fields, to just "J." for a person that only filled out their first name.

Post a support request if you need help creating a custom name format string.

CCK Fullname for Drupal 5.x and 6.x
Namefield for Drupal 5.x (obsolete)

Both CCK Fullname 6.x and Name Field (this one, not NameField) share a very common coding base and both are being actively maintained. We are going to work on many enhanced features for this module while maintaining CCK Fullname through the supported life of Drupal 6. Name Field could be considered as a sandbox for development, although there are currently no active reported issues.

From Drupal 7, we envision a dual upgrade path for both Name Field 6.x and CCK Fullname 6.x versions to Name field 7.x

So which one should you choice?

CCK Fullname if you only need the 5 textfields for collecting name related data, Name Field if you would prefer a couple select lists and additional textfields. Neither path will result in a dead end module sitting in your Drupal installation.
New Drupal 7 release

This has been released for community testing. This has had a lot of new features added.

See the release notes for more detail.

There is no upgrade path yet from Drupal 6. Developed on D7 Alpha9/Beta1.
