Bill, there are different conventions in other parts of the world.
I remember travelling to Senegal several years ago and meeting a
guy whose business card was stamped "Boubakar Barry". At the time
I thought "what a strange first name". It has since occurred to me
that not everybody does things according to conventions that I am
used to. You would do well to understand this especially if you
interract with people outside of your US cocoon.
I try to make things unambiguous for others by capitalising my
surname. Of course it helps to have a surname that's not easily
mistakeable for a first name.
