I think we should try to improve the descriptions of the usage of the Account Settings Name Preferences page. The explanatory material there is very limited and not clear to me, an experienced English speaking member of Geni for many years. Married name needs some additional background material and more instructions. Follow the traditional married name path for English but offer a modern World Wide multicultural path also. And explain it in detail.

The very few examples in the Name Preferences page are barely enough to comprehend what it means to adjust name preferences and what the resulting profile would like in various settings. Give us not just one example but display all the possible variations in clear English.

Thanks for consideration of this comment meant to improve Geni.

It only sets the preference for how you see the Name. Not how anyone else will see it.
It does not make any changes to the Data Base.

It is simply giving you choices of how you will see the info in the various Name Fields displayed, including the option to not see various ones.

Anyone wanting more examples can easily choose one display choice, click save, see how various Profiles look, then choose a different display choice, click save, see how those same Profiles look, and so on.
