*{{man label|Family prefix}}, an optional prefix for the family name that is not used in sorting, such as ''de'' or ''van'' and {{man label|Suffix}}, an optional suffix to the name, such as ''Jr.'' or ''III'', selector
*{{man label|Patronymic}}, which is the component of a personal name based on the name of one's father, grandfather, and {{man label|Title}}, which is a title used to refer to the person such as ''Dr.'' or ''Rev.'', selector,
*{{man label|Call name}}, officially this is the part of the given name that is the normally used name. Eg, a person can have 3 given names as in ''Jean Baptiste Jules'', where in reality only ''Baptiste'' is used. In Germany and some other places, it was customary to underline the callname among the different given names, see also [[Names_in_GRAMPSNames_in_Gramps#Call_Name|here]]. Some people will use this field also for nickname, or changes to the Given name (like Cristy for Cristina), but this is not the intended use. A call name is a proper legal name. For nick names, or short name variants, you should create an alternative name with a different type.
*{{man label|Type}} of the name (birth name, married name, nick name, short name, etc.). It is advised to use for the preferred name a name with legal tender as that is what most often is found on documents, and store other name types in the {{man label|Name}} tab of the {{man label|Person Editor}}.
