Problem with Single Name Entries in Address Book

[Jasoneskin]

I have seen only a couple pages about this on the internet, but still no solution.

Some of my contacts are only one name, but Address Book ends up updating them by copying that name twice. So, if I make an entry for "Dave," just one name, it makes it "Dave Dave." I don't want to check the "Company" checkbox because these entries have companies already associated with them.

Has anyone figured this out?

Um, does "Dave" not actually have a second name?

I would have thought this problem would only come up to the close personal friends of Madonna, Cher or Teller.

For the sake of argument, no, Dave does not have a last name. I figured I'd keep my famous one-named friends like Madonna out of it
