I started writing the code to split the name apart, but it's  
difficult to know.  I can see how you were using it, because by only  
using one name I was able to get a menu of potential matches.  There  
really are too many possibilities to consider:

LastName, FirstName
FirstName LastName
FirstName LastName With Spaces (i.e., Van Burren)

And the list goes on.  Odds are, your implementation is best.  It's  
clean and uncomplicated.
