What do you suggest then? I am willing to improve it, but you must be clearer what you would accept! I could imagine a configurable name order as well...
If I remember gmail has such option, but I don't know if this works on addcontact action. If user prefers e.g. Surname,Forename order it doesn't means sender will prefer it too. What if user has a two (fore)names? What if it is a nick (like mine) or company name? Too much guessing and possible mistakes.
In Roundcube the name field is for display name and it should be not changed in any way (a part of your patch). When name is not specified in address string we're trying to build the (display) name. A possible solution would be to get rid of it and leave display-name empty (currently it's a required field).
