As Lumfier says naming is often more complicated than that. Scientists who published in Latin for example often didn’t simply write their name as they get called in their native language on their manuscript but Latinized it.
People who move to Spain often adopt the Spanish naming convention where the last name is inherited from both mother and father.
I remember (I think from Code Complete) that the assumption that everybody has a name is also false.
