I like the French convention of writing the family name in all caps. It
makes it easier to tell which one it is, in the face of varying cultural
conventions about whether to put it first or last or somewhere else. E.g.
George MÉLIÈS
LUGOSI Bela
Andrew LLOYD WEBBER
SAKAMOTO Ryuichi
Woody ALLEN
Jet LI
CHOW Yun-Fat
Michelle YEOH Choo Kheng
Notice the extra fun involved for those of Chinese extraction, when some
of them add Western-style names as well. The normal Chinese convention is
to put the family name first (within the Chinese name), but it seems
mainland Chinese are switching this to conform more to Western conventions
(like Japanese commonly do), while those of Chinese extraction elsewhere
in Asia still keep the old traditions.
