It's mostly a problem of culture.

If you look, for example, at chinese names, the name space is not that
much important:
"Xee Laa" only takes this space:
"       "
 ^^^^^^^

Instead, if you take a typical english name, say, "Abraham Lincoln",
you instantly recognize the waste of space used by this name:
"              "
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Concluding: I think that americans are very good at wasting name
spaces, whereas chinese ones seem less name space hungry.

Sure, you could make some other example, proving for the contrary, but
I think the one cited above already suffices.

Peace.
