No, don't do that :-).  You will be addressing my father.  

Confusion is arises because of differences in naming across cultures.

I live in India.  In the state where I am from (Tamilnadu), we usually
have just a single component to the name. i.e., there is no First,
Middle or Last names and I really don't know what a "Surname" is.  

So "Jambunathan" is my given name.  "K" is my Father's name that is
abbreviated to just the initials.

People usually call me "Jambu".

Try to narrow it down and pass across a simple snippet to me.  I will be
happy to fix it.  You can also look at *Messages* buffer, you may get
some clues.

LibreOffice crashes usually when XML files are malformed.

If you don't have rnc files, (use M-x rng-what-schema RET while in an
XML file) then validation wouldn't catch errors. If you are running from
git, rnc files are installed for you and you can do the following right
within Emacs.

    1. C-x C-f test.odt.  Buffer will now be in archive-mode.  
    2. RET on content.xml and/or any of the other XML files/ 
    3. C-c C-n. nXML will tell you where validation has failed.

This will give you clue on how to proceed further.  It is quite possible
that ODT exporter creates corrupt files.

You can also run the exported file through any of the OpenDOcument
validators in the cloud.  They seem to come and go.  So I will let you
google around, instead of providing any pointers.

See following node in the manual

        (info "(org) Validating OpenDocument XML")

You should report this issue.  I will be happy to fix.
