Commit ce510509620699c9eecfbb6e42d4b87b45dd228c altered the contact model to use a single `full_name` field instead of separate `first_name` & `last_name` fields. It might be good to consider changing both the `Order` model and `PhysicalShippingVariant` model to be consistent with this convention, as not all customer's names will have a first/last distinction. Currently the inconsistency makes it slightly harder to, for example, pre-fill billing & shipping forms using a customer's contacts.

The issue I can think of with doing this is that the first/last convention is pretty widely used. For example Django's auth still uses this. And certain payment processors might require separate fields as well.

In any case, it may be a good idea to at least keep the convention consistent in the satchless codebase. What are your thoughts?
