Using a single field for full name

[Andrew_Schatzb1]

Here's my quandary. I've been informed by our team in China that is unusual to ask for first and last name separately in a form, so we need a single field for full name. Ideally, I would also like the data from that field to be broken up and split into the first and last name fields. I've considered a few options, but before jumping into any of them I'd like to see if any of you fine folks have run up against this problem already. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance
