Should John Smith FRCS read FRCS as a credential? Unlisted fellowship post-nominals become the family name #1315
Description
On master today, parse("John Smith FRCS") gives family 'FRCS', while John Smith FACS gives suffix 'FACS' and John Smith, FRCS gives suffix 'FRCS'. Several common medical fellowships aren't in the vocabulary: FRCS, FRCP, MRCP, FRACS, FRCSE. Only facs and facp are listed. Without a comma, the S6 shape test doesn't take a 4+-letter capitals word that isn't listed, so the credential lands in the family field.
The group suggester (#1308) inherits it. Six Tanaka Hiroshi FRCS-style names under a family-first base vote given-first, because the credential reads as a surname written in capitals at the end.
Proposal: list the Royal College fellowships and memberships as credentials, vetted the usual way (tools/vocab/query.py, tools/name_usage.py, and the govuk-people and NPPES corpora).
