auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Adds Dutch name conventions to contacts: separate initials and infix (tussenvoegsel) fields, and automatically builds the full name in the Dutch order (first name, initials, infix, last name).
This module adapts how contact names are stored and displayed in Odoo to Dutch conventions. On contact forms (and on user forms), two extra fields appear next to the first and last name: Initials and Infix (the small word such as "van", "de" or "der" that sits between first and last name).
When you type a full name, Odoo tries to split it automatically: words written in capitals or between brackets are treated as initials, and words that match the configured list of Dutch infixes are stored in the Infix field. The full name shown everywhere is then rebuilt in the order first name, initials, infix, last name.
In Settings, a new field lets you edit the list of words recognised as infixes. A default list (van, der, den, op, ter, de, v/d, d', 't, te) is installed automatically, and the name-order setting from the base name module is hidden because Dutch order is enforced.
The module touches res.partner, res.users and the general settings screen, and relies on the firstname.mixin logic to compute and reverse-split names.

terminal Installation and usage
OCA documentation · Odoo 18.0Configuration
Source · Odoo 18.0The module relies on a list of known infixes to get the parsing right:
van, der, den, op, ter, de, v/d, d', 't, te
Also any combination, so op den, van der etc will also be recognized.
If you need a different set of infixes or additional ones, change this list in the general settings.
