Seperate first name last name fields

Detailed Description of the Problem:

When signing up, the first name and last name fields are separate fields rather than having a single name field or no name field at all.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Sign up
2. Attempt to enter name that isn't a fixed First Name Last Name.

First name/Last Name is not a good way to prompt for names especially for such a system.

That's not really a bug than a disagreement in design philosophy... This system can't simply use a "full name" due to the way the chat works (you speak as your first name), and putting the whole name in chat just begs to fill the screen with unnecessary text...

But that's just my two cents worth; I'm not one of the developers.
