AKA - Also Known As

Started by Joel Scott Cognevich on Wednesday, November 18, 2020

I think it would be beneficial if the AKA field was visible during the initial data entry of a profile. Possibly in the Enter Names area just after Birth Name. I think by doing this it may encourage many entering a new profile to put nicknames, alias, married names, etc. in this field instead of in the Middle Name field, in either parenthesis or in quotes, as I often see. (I'll admit I am guilty of this as well as I have done this as well a few times).

Along the same lines, I would really like to see these nicknames/alias shown on a profile, perhaps in italics, just under the Name. In turn a option might be added to the Name Preference settings to either allow these to be visible or not.

Just an opinion and would like to hear from others.
