I too would use the whole name. You can date and add all kinds of info on the back. I do and suggest you do, too. Not only will people over 100 years from now appreciate it, but 10 years from now you may be glad you did.

When you date a picture, it can cause problems, with portraits it can serve as a dating device for the picture and the model. Some models (clients) would prefer that were not the case.
