Bug in Outlook contacts

If a person's name is "Des" or "Les", Outlook thinks that is part of the
surname, and does not offer you the "Surname, Des" option. If you then enter
than manually, and export the Contacts to an excel file, it still puts both
names into the "Surname" cell.

I think this is a pretty silly bug. What does "Des"/"Les" mean anyway? Are
they French or something? I have a friend called Les, and another called
Des, and Outlook for some reason cannot handle this.

Regards,
Alain

Works fine in Outlook 2002. I just tried it.
