A question about tags

As some of you have noticed, I have begun tagging (putting one-click searchable keywords on) each post. But I’m unclear about the net’s informal standard for people’s names. Full name or last name only? Anyone?

    I think the informal standard (from what I’ve seen) would be “Do whatever you choose, but whatever you choose do it consistently.”

    In other words, take your pick but be consistent. (Personally, I would probably do full name, to reduce the likelihood of the same tag, like “Smith,” picking up multiple people.)

    I usually do both the last name alone and the first and last together, but thats just me and I’m not good at conforming!

    The Wiki Standard is pretty popular.
