@Ceras: Oooh that's tough (about the asian contries' names I mean). Honestly, I get confused because no matter how often I'm told the difference between given and surnames, I always get confused with China's. I would say Western, because I am assuming Western is equivalent to American to follow the flow of American standards and the other countries' names...but I honestly could see it both ways. -.-'
