No sync of middle names

Sorry if this has already been reported...

When downloading my address book to MPE, I only get the first and last names of persons in my Gmail contacts - contacts' middle names are ignored.

HTC Legend (Android 2.1)

Thats correct. Middle names are not implemented in MPE

Ah... its a feature - not a bug ;-)

Would it be difficult to implement (at least on Android)? In my country the middle name is often the most distinctive part of peoples' names and I actually have several people in my address book where the middle name is the only part that differs - thus, it can be quite cumbersome the right contact when e.g. sending an sms.

Haha, no its not really a feature

The problem is that adding the Middlename would affekt many places in Code. The whole program - including the sync with all third-party apps is designed to work with frist name/last name

Ouch... middle names are here to stay, so I suggest you look into it sooner than later.

Just kidding - I really appreciate your hard work which makes my phone a lot more usable...

...but support for middle names would be a very welcomed feature though :-)
