编辑:增加了一些间距

英国政府数据标准目录详细说明了这类事情的英国标准。 它建议“名”和“姓”各有35个字符，“全名”为70个字符，“电子邮件地址”为255个字符。除此之外…

我几乎总是使用2的幂，除非有很好的理由不这样做，比如在面向客户的界面上，其他一些数字对客户有特殊的意义。

如果你坚持使用2的幂，那么你就可以在一个有限的常见大小范围内，这本身就是一件好事，它可以让你更容易猜测你可能遇到的未知物体的大小。我看到很多人都在这么做，而且这种做法也很有美感。当我看到这些时，我通常会有一种良好的感觉，这意味着设计师像工程师或数学家一样思考。不过如果只用质数，我可能会担心。：）

是varchar，对吧?所以不管你用50个还是25个，为了安全起见，最好用50个，我认为我见过的最长的是19个左右。姓更长

W3C推荐:

If designing a form or database that will accept names from people with a variety of backgrounds, you should ask yourself whether you really need to have separate fields for given name and family name. … Bear in mind that names in some cultures can be quite a lot longer than your own. … Avoid limiting the field size for names in your database. In particular, do not assume that a four-character Japanese name in UTF-8 will fit in four bytes – you are likely to actually need 12. https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names

对于数据库字段，VARCHAR(255)是一个安全的默认选择，除非您确实有充分的理由使用其他选项。对于典型的web应用程序，性能不是问题。不要过早地优化。

Just looking though my email archives, there are a number of pretty long "first" names (of course what is meant by first is variable by culture). One example is Krishnamurthy - which is 13 letters long. A good guess might be 20 to 25 letters based on this. Email should be much longer since you might have firstname.lastname@somedomain.com. Also, gmail and some other mail programs allow you to use firstname.lastname+sometag@somedomain.com where "sometag" is anything you want to put there so that you can use it to sort incoming emails. I frequently run into web forms that don't allow me to put in my full email address without considering any tags. So, if you need a fixed email field maybe something like 25.25+15@20.3 in characters for a total of 90 characters (if I did my math right!).
