And somehow somebody who made Lotus Notes thinks a middle name of 6 characters is more then sufficient.

Saying that you can simply search the one and only space might be true in your world and the names people have there, but it's not in ours here.

Double firstnames, double middlenames en double lastnames, not so uncommon in the Netherlands. There is no way hosee you can write software that can split up a dutch name in it's different parts.
