Title:
  [address book]There's no "nickname" or "display name" fields available

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  New
Status in address-book-app package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In vCard there's support for all kinds of names: family, given,
  middle, nickname, but also a separate "formatted name". There should
  be a priority list for which of those would be displayed when
  available, and a config option to change the preference between at
  least "given family" and "nickname" (separate pref for "family,
  given", bug #1439140).

  At the moment in the contacts list, I can see the formatted name (as
  synced from a remote address book), but when I open the contact,
  family and given names are displayed in the header - and I can't edit
  the formatted name.

  When searching, only the display name is used there's no way to search
  by other properties (bug #1474308).

  Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard, structured name (N) is
  required in all but v4.0, where formatted name (FN) is required in
  v3.0+, it seems that the locale/preference-aware formatting would have
  to happen when editing, and stored in FN.

  We need to remember about what happens when we switch the preference -
  we'll need to save all the contacts with a new FN (assuming the
  original FN matched the previous formatting).

  Organization name should be a fallback, too, if no structured or
  nickname is given - for organization contacts with no obvious contact
  person.
