1. "Other Name" or "Nickname" field

   I would like to see an Other-Name field or Nickname field be added to the "Name" table.
   I'm trying to utilize Skyward as the authoritative source for our staff data. I have found that many employees do not go by their legal first name OR other language(Chinese/Spanish) name i.e. "Cynthia" goes by "Cindy" OR "Hsin Jung" goes by "Amy"... (How does one find Amy in the staff directory when her name is listed as Hsin Jing?

   Why is there an other-name field for students but not for staff?
   I want to be able to use this field to map to Active Directory (if not blank) instead of the first name field.
   
   I am automating much of our systems and it is upsetting to employees to see thier "givenName" show their legal name instead of what they actually go by.

   I think this is a simple addition that could benifit many schools. :D
