Are we now able to do so in Family Echo?

There are a couple of new options that I think will let you do what you want to do. 

  1. There is now an option (under "Show options" at the bottom) to set whether the given name is displayed before or after the surname. 
  2. You can also assign a Nickname. The nickname appears in quotes after the given name. You get to the nickname field (as well as Title and Suffix) by clicking the triangle toggle after Name.
  3. You also have (again, under show options) a more fine grained control over what names are displayed on your family tree.
