<ul></ul><p>There are two interim solutions</p>
<p>1) you can create custom fields into names<br />2) you can type in first+second (patronymic) into the 'firstname' field. Case in point: I did that with my second name.</p>
<p>Typically proper international name handling quickly becomes a mess.

<p>In this case this field will be after "Language" – not good.</p>

<p>That's what I'm doing now, but it leads to a unnatural name format.</p>

<p>Yeah… Maybe I will create a plugin for <em>my</em> situation…</p> Redmine - Feature #4230: Add support for patronymics / middle names.https://www.redmine.org/issues/4230?journal_id=121862009-11-19T05:52:08ZAdam Piotr Żochowski

<p>Head to Administration -> Settings -> General -> User display format. There you should be able to setup how the combination of firstname/lastname should be displayed. Maybe this way you can tweak it to display it more naturally?</p>
