Wrong Names and Surenames on People app.

Since first time I got Jolla, and with all the updates, the people app, seems to manage names in a wrong way. people app missunderstands the complete names with two family names. In most countries, like, Italy, Portugal, France, Spain, and all SouthAmerica) we have two Surenames, that one comes from the father, and the other one comes from the mother. For Example: Perico (name) Palotes (1st Surename, usually from father) Cifuentes (2nd surename, usually from mother). Except Brasil, that the surenames are inverte, first comes the one from the mother and second one comes from the father. Here is what People app is doing bad: Manage the Surename (family name) wrong. Lets give and example of what jolla does, and what should do. Imagine that you sync Google contacts or Outlook.com contacts via exchange and Facebook friends. People app, gives prioirty with facebook names instead of your contacts lists (google or exchange) and manages the 1st surename as a MIddle name. And this happens always with facebook contacts. The 1st surename is treated like a middle name. Giving a result that when listing contacts in people app, will give after linking contacts the following: Perico Cifuentes. That it's not the real name. Do you know a way to manage correctly this issue-problem?

thanks
