Viewing only the First Name? Yup!
Possibility to input only the First Name in the Character Creation? Yup!
Removing the Surnames that we have? Nope! (which isn't OP's question)

There is choice. Some people don't like long names, some want to express their imagination and creativity, and I think that both people have the right to co-exist, but not having read the thread admittedly, if someone said that Surnames have to be abolished, then I'm gonna put a NO on your head and Sledgehammer it on your brain!
