Entering Names

 
Titles
Enter titles in the First Name field along with the first name.  
 
Example: Enter Dr. John Smith as Dr. John in the First Name field and Smith in the last name field.  It’s best not to use titles like Ms, Mr, Mr and Ms, etc.
                                                     
Couples with same last name
Enter the two first names in the First Name field, connected by an ampersand (&).
 
Example: Enter John and Mary Smith as John & Mary in the First Name field and Smith in the Last Name field.
                                                     
Note: You can use "and" in place of the ampersand but in practice the use of the ampersand has proven to work well. Whichever format you choose, we recommend you use it consistently to avoid confusion.
Couples with different last name
Enter the first names of each in the First Name field, connected by an ampersand (&), and the last names of the couple in the Last Name field, connected by an ampersand.
 
Example: Enter John Smith and Mary Jones as John & Mary in the First Name field and Smith & Jones in the Last Name field.
                                                    
Middle initials
Middle initials are optional, but if you choose to include them, enter them in the First Name field.   We recommend omitting them.
Businesses containing personal names
Enter the entire name in the Name field, e.g., Julia Jones Insurance Co. or Alex Smith Dentistry
