DISCUSSION   R:10626 Back the Blue ( -10.09 points) July 09, 2021 07:43pm How do I type middle names?   Joker:9757 BrentinCO ( 7748.48 points) July 09, 2021 08:23pm If the candidate uses it as a proper name, just add it in the first name field. Example: Ben Ray Luján FirstName: Ben Ray LastName: Lujan If you looking to record a candidates full name, many people spell out the full name in the info box and leave the candidates more common name in the first and last name fields. Example: Mitt Romney FirstName: Mitt LastName: Romney Info Box: Willard Mitt Romney You can also add the initial in the first name field if you have it as it helps to cut down duplicate candidates. Example: James E. Risch FirstName: James E. LastName: Risch   D:1 RP ( 5508.02 points) July 10, 2021 12:31am It could very well be necessary to have additional identifying names in the First Name field for common names. The Candidate database is getting pretty big and a lot of people have the same First and Last names and when adding someone to a race how do you tell which is which?
