                                                     java.util.Locale loc,

                                                     java.lang.String prename)

Combines a given name and a prename into one String while taking care for mode and locale. Mode indicates how the result should be ordered. Either the name or the prename should have precedence. Both name and prename can be empty or even null. In this case, only the non-empty part is printed and any part in between is omitted.

Note: Currently, the locale is not taken into consideration. The format is always either "Prename Name" or "Name, Prename".

Parameters:

mode - The mode to print the name and prename with. Should be one of the constants NameUtilities.ORDEREDBY(PRE)NAME.

loc - Locale to convert the name in.

name - (Sur)name of the person.

String combining name and prename in an appropriate manner.
