I notice that nicknames have gone from 2.1, okay that's not my preference but hey. The real problem is that the nickname seems to be lost completely once imported into 2.1, I can't find it anywhere for people who I know _had_ a nickname. Is this an unintended bug? It could be added as a new type of name in the name editor, or tagged onto the end of the notes, but I'm sure we'll agree it can't just disappear. Duncan |

It isn't really for or against, but rather, what is the proper way to do this. Some people can have more than one nickname. Then we have the concept of a "call name", and what they may or may not mean in different cultures.

Then we have the concept of > a "call name", and what they may or may not mean in different cultures. Might there be a way to leave the cultural differences out of gramps alltogether by still providing what every culture needs? This might be possible by having the concept of "additional names" (i.e., names that are not part of the legal name, like nicknames usually), and orthogonal to that the concept of the "primary name", which always is one of the legal or additional names, and by default the first. Would that cover all discussed cases? The display logic could be (but there probably are better ways): LegalName1 [LegalName2...] "Nickname1 [Nickname2...]" Surname and if the "primary name" is any other but the LegalName1, it is displayed underlined, or bold, or blinking and rotating. The UI might be a bit tricky. I could imagine selecting the primary name using the entry fields context menu, and then displaying it in bold, which should be possible AFAIK, or providing a select-only-combobox with all entered names.
