Still on Drupal 7? Security support for Drupal 7 ended on 5 January 2025. Please visit our Drupal 7 End of Life resources page to review all of your options.The Drupal Name Field project is a critical module providing a dedicated field type for personal names, ensuring structured and accurate data capture. It stores a name in up to six distinct components (e.g., Title, Given Name, Family Name), which is necessary for precise name management that standard text fields cannot offer.
This structure enables powerful, customizable formatters to display names consistently in any required format (e.g., formal, informal, or initialed). The module is fully integrated with core Drupal features, including Views, Tokens, and User profiles, making the name data easily accessible and usable across the entire site for everything from contact forms to user display names.
