In the Empire, the normal pattern in First Name (Middle Name) (Middle
Name) (Surname) Assigned Name Birth World - a number of races didn't
have surnames when they became part of the Empire, and no one forced it
on them; however, in the Late Imperial Age, it was quite rare not to
have a surname, surnames were often created by these races.  The
Assigned Name is a name that is given by a government agency on your
birth-world.  It's also quite common to have two middle names.  Thus,
6-part names are quite common.
