yeah.. but I just wouldn't complicate my software. Sometimes I even just have a single "Full name" if I don't need to separate.
there are scenarios where I want to know your maternal/paternal heritage, but in general I don't care. I just want to know how to show your name on the screen.
It depends :)
In Spain a lot of databases store first and second surname into differents columns.
On frontend forms, first surname is required and second is optional.
On regular communications we use name and first surname for greeting.

Yes, but a lot of times is not your software, is only the software that you code ;)
