OK, new idea.  What about, instead of having the last name be all-caps,
we have the last name start with an uppercase letter, then use smallcaps
for the rest of the last name:

That way, the last name will not appear too large, but will be clear as
something different from other names.  Peter, I assume small-caps is
possible.
