Anyone out there know the maximum amount of text characters possible in an avatar name? Trying to script an object that displays several different types of text info with prims and a texture, and i need to know how many characters to use for a user's name to ensure it doesn't get cut off

I think the first name can be 25 characters maximum.

According to the handy cheat sheet at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Limits, "Max. length of avatar name - 31 for first name, 31 for last name, 63 in total (including the space)."

i just checked and the first names can be 31 characters, any one know about last names? I suppose if all else fails i can do first names only.
