Some people prefer to have a nickname on the nametag (because that's what other people call them), but a fuller given name for correspondence. In some places, the first name is the most important part for a name tag (there are even conferences where only the given name appears on the name tag), while people from other cultures may feel rather strange having their given name used in a public setting. Most people wouldn't need a title on their name tag, but some do. Some titles are more appropriate for a name tag, other more for correspondence. Some titles go before the name, others after. And so on. Regards, Martin.
