Talk:Writing Adolescent Fiction/Character names/Japanese

Japanese names put the family name before the individual's name. Would this article be better if it included a comparison to an English language directory? for example (with made-up phone numbers):
 * Hicks, Taylor 1-8OO-555-T HIX
 * Swift, Taylor 1-8OO-555WIFT
 * Taylor, James 1-8OO-55-JAMES

The article also says:
 * A little girl in Japan would be called by her first name plus -chan by adults.
 * A little boy in Japan would be called by his first name plus either -chan or -kun by adults.

i'm wondering if it would be more accurate to say A little girl/boy MIGHT be called...and maybe compare it to -y in English:
 * John might be called Johnny
 * Ann might be called Annie
