How to handle the Name attribute in an Employee model

$

I'm fairly new to MDS and during my first little skunk project working with MDS I've run in to a little problem. I would like to create and employee model with all the attributes as defined by our business/architect, this requires us to keep the following name attributes for each employee: FirstName, MiddleName, LastName, MaidenName & PreferredName. The issue I,m having is how to represent FirstName without confusing the end user who will be managing the dataset. As the Name attribute exists for every model and cannot be changed to something like FirstName, how does one design your employee model to store the data in the format the user expects it in without breaking rules about data definitions and without confusing the end user?
