Universal Over-ride for "Friendly Reminders"

Hello, 

In Pakistani culture, the use of "Family Names" in the past 5 or 6 generations does not follow the conventions familiar in Western cultures.

Typically, the children adopt the father's first name as their last name. So for example, Ali Asghar's children would all carry the last name, Ali.

Often this convention is completely ignored, and an ancestor's first name is adopted as the last name for future generations of a family. For example, the grandchildren of Ali, may also carry Ali as their last name.

It was common several generations ago for titles to be adopted as last names, and siblings could have a range of different last names. e.g. Bibi was quite common for females. Chaudhry, Mian, Mehr, Khan, ud-Din, ul-Haq etc. were quite common for males. 

For my feature request, I would like an option to universally turn off the prompt which reminds me that the family name of close relatives does not match that of their father.

 

Thanks

Jawad
