Description
Sorry to be prissy, but on user-new.php, etc. the whole first name/last name thing has a big culture bias.
In some cultures there is only one name, in some more than two, etc.
Just a single Name:__________ field would be best, as I recall Mediawiki does it.

Agreed. Order sometimes is important (surname, name) in some works, so I think it doesn't need a change.

I don't really see the need for this even though this is very minor modification. Most sites form have First/Middle/Last Name instead of just name. If you do not have a last name, just fill in First Name and leave the Last Name blank.
