The use of the "familyName" and "givenName" as opposed to "firstName"/"lastName" helps minimize a western/US-centric approach, but using three individual, singular attributes for these name components still hints at a particular name format that may not be global.

Does SCIM provide any recommendations for how to represent this using the existing name components? For example, are consumers expected to consolidate all last names into the single familyName attribute to accommodate this scenario? Likewise, there are many other cases [1,2] that don't quite cleanly fit into these singular name components.
