In set.mm, should we use "Jeff Hankins" vs. "Jeffrey Hankins"?

I think every person should have a unique name in the database, and this is an exception.

"Jeffrey Hankins" is what is listed at the front, but "Jeff Hankins" is what is almost always used.

I'd prefer a response from M. Hankins, but I don't know if he reads this mailing list.

Why M. and not Mr?

For fun, "M." is the abbreviation for "Monsieur". No serious reason.
