Let's see if this #Feedback submitted through #Niantic's support bot for #HarryPotter #WizardsUnite will make their #MinistryID #namingPolicy more inclusive by allowing the use of a #mononym without workarounds such as including a period.

a couple of remarks about the order form:
• 'cartrdges' is missing an 'i'

• Surname and Name fields really should just be a single Name field, to accommodate people who use a #mononym (whether that's their real name or their online handle).
