Nickname

Maybe for a person you want a name with a nickname between quotation marks, such as

Herbert “Herb” Powell

To obtain this result, you can add a nickname to the name of the person:

ProfileFactsNameNickname

Across Family Gem the nickname will be automatically displayed in quotation marks between the name and the surname.

Birth, married & maiden names, AKA, pseudonyms...

Marge Simpson is the actual name, but Marjorie Jacqueline Bouvier was her name at birth.
Abraham “Abe” Simpson is better known as Grampa Simpson...
How to manage two or more different names for one person?
In these cases a standard solution is to add multiple names to the same person.

To add a new name to a person:

ProfileFactsName

When a person has more than one name in ProfileFacts, you can reorder them by long press on the name → Move up / Move down.
The first name of the list will be displayed across Family Gem.

Name type

You can also add a type to a name:

ProfileFactsNameType

Predefined name types are aka, birth, immigrant, maiden and married.
But you can enter a type of your choice, for example self attributed.
