It's not like the semantic web itself has taken off...

Another idea for names is to make the representations of names more 
complicated, e.g.:

<foaf:Person>
   <foaf:hasName>
     <foaf:Name>
       <foaf:givenName>Joshua</foaf:givenName>
       <foaf:familyName>Tauberer</foaf:FamilyName>
       <foaf:nameOrder>given middle family</foaf:nameOrder>
       <foaf:context>formal</foaf:context>
     </foaf:Name>
   </foaf:hasName>
   <foaf:hasName>
     <foaf:Name>
       <foaf:givenName>Josh</foaf:givenName>
       <foaf:nameOrder>given</foaf:nameOrder>
       <foaf:context>informal</foaf:context>
     </foaf:Name>
   </foaf:hasName>
</foaf:Person>

Then you could even date names, e.g. for maiden names.
