Swedish term
Namn Namnsson
This is some kind of placeholder at the very end of a document for Mr X who has completed a training program.
I'm not sure how to render it in English
Is it just First name and Family name ?
Thanks

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
First name, Surname
If the first, I'm sure Dean's suggestion, John Doe, is fine, I don't speak that strange language! If the latter then I would strongly suggest "First name, Surname".

Christine Andersen
: especially as it is gender neutral (like the Swedish), and I feel Joe Bloggs is slightly derogatory
