@afelia
Why should I ask for the Gender?

We ask for surname and first name, so we can call them "Dear first name surname, ..."

The gender of a person isn't relevant for the service we offer.

@angeldruckt @afelia scientific conferences: ask for gender and ethnicity and call everyone "dear sir professor"

@eichkat3r @afelia
I can't find any sense - except some statistics or maybe to get some found if the conference is diverse enough.

@eichkat3r @angeldruckt @afelia yes, there are four genders in that world: Mr., Ms., Dr., Prof.

@angeldruckt @afelia

How do you address those without that category of names? Do you actually need more than Name [...]?

@simon_lucy @afelia
We sell goods in the name of our customers. Therefore, we ask for the valid name and address.

@angeldruckt @afelia

If you only have customers in Sweden then First and Surname might well work but validating names is a mine field. Having a single field for however someone constructs their name will still give a valid name for however the local conventions apply for addresses.
