Selecting WCA ID should fill correct names in registration

[cubizh]

Currently, when you choose the WCA ID in registration, the last name is not properly chosen, but the second name only.
Example: 2003BRUC01 (Ron van Bruchem)
First name: Ron
Last name: van

Could #21 be a reasonable solution? I'm not sure whether it's possible to reliably extract the first and last name from the WCA data.

Sorry, I didn't see that closed issue.
Yes, I think using just one field for the name would probably be a good decision, particularly when you have multiple last names, competitors don't know if they should put all or just 1, while just one field that question wouldn't rise.
The instances where the first name only is used vs full name are neglectable in my view (email template).

Gonna close this issue since it's basically identical to #21.
