I too use Common Surname for the Calendar and the WebCal. These reports allow the user to set a name display specific for the repot that overrides the default display set in Preferences.
Ideally, all the graphical views would allow this to save on space.
Similar to an override for name, an override for the default place name is another option desired for graphical view. The Graph View does have this option and I use a Populated Place override that limits the place name to City, State stripping out hospital names, county information and country.
