Autofill Mangles Two-word Last Names

Project Member Reported by argote@google.com, Dec 5 2017 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.94 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Enter a name with two last-names on a form (e.g. Juan Perez Gonzalez).
2. Choose to save on autofill.
3. Try to autofill the name on another form.
4. The name will be wrongly split into:
  First: Juan
  Middle: Perez
  Last: Gonzalez

What is the expected behavior?
The name will be correctly split into:
  First: Juan
  Last: Perez Gonzalez

What went wrong?
Autofill assumes last-names are single words always, which is not true for people from most Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries, and I assume other cultures I'm not familiar with.

Did this work before? Yes Not sure, years ago before the autofill menu was redesigned.

The worst part is the autofill settings won't let me individually edit it so that it's filled correctly in the future.

There's only a "name" field, which will again parse the name incorrectly, if it could be divided into first/middle/last I could *at least* manually fix the issue (but a lot of people won't dive into the menus to fix this).

My first name is Hans Otto, but Otto is saved as my middle name. I also recommend creating three separate fields in the chrome settings, instead of just the "Name" field.
