We should allow more space for the names.  Even most of database
applications give default  80 letters to a name field.  I have tried 60 
letters in 1988, at time of space is a lot more expensive.  It has more 
trouble for me then, and I have not use it for less than 80 ever since.  
Internet is a much larger database, if we have a voice in this field 
length, we should expand it now rather than hear this again within 
a few years.
