Hi.

We are wondering how other institutions handle constituents with only
one name.  IE "Nadar"  "Weegee" "Giotto".  Are they individuals or
institutions?  If individuals, then which field gets the name... first
name, last name or both (considering the search implications)?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.
