Because I happen to actually have a good use for it.  Just because
it's floundering almost everywhere doesn't mean it's universally
useless.

As for the name suggestion, I like it, it's a much better fit for what
I wanted to do.  I often have to deal with asian names, and I'm never
quite sure how to enter them.  Especially when someone asks to be
called by the most "pronouncible" portion of their name.  I have a
friend who uses his middle name as his "familiarname" because no one
can pronounce either his "surname" or his "givenname".
