Kind of an odd question: our condo building has finally taken steps to upgrade it's door intercom system to something a little more current.

Part of this upgrade has been a request to provide the programmer a full name (first and last) for each phone number attached to our unit. We have requested that only our first initials (with our last name) be displayed as we'd rather not have unknown people dialing us at random times asking for us by name.

We're being told that our board has decided the format and there is no possibility for this to happen.

1) are we being overly cautious (we live in the belt-line, beside 3 bars)?
2) can our board actually enforce this restrictive policy? Reason I ask is this is tied to personal security, not your typical condo board BS.

Anyone have any advice or experience with this type of situation?
