As far as I can tell, you need to write some code in order to obtain 
that.  It **shouldn't** be a big deal, though.  Or, without any need to 
change code, you can use recent versions of slapo-constraint to make 
sure that a change to any of the components of "Full Name" is 
accompanied by a modification of "Full Name" that reflects that change, 
or inhibit the whole modification.  This moves the burden of computing 
the resulting value to the application, but at least ensures database 
consistency.
