New Kobo Libra 2 -- setup questions

My old Boox reader died and I decided to try a Kobo Libra 2. So far so good.

Two questions:
  1. I keep my authors as LN, FN. Clearly the Kobo wants them as FN LN. I think I solved the problem with the following plugboard for authors. Is there something else I should do?
    Code:
    program:
    	comma = '';
    	res = '';
    	for author in $authors separator '&':
    		res = strcat(res, comma, swap_around_comma(author));
    		comma = ', '
    	rof;
    	res
  2. For collections: I found the configuration to make collections from values in columns. What I want is something that I could do with the old Sony PRS 350: prefix the column name to the collection value (see the tweak "Specify renaming rules for SONY collections"). With this ability and assuming the columns #genre, tags, and #cbhpri, the result would something like
    CBH Pri: high
    Genre: Gobble
    Tags: foo
    Tags: Bar
    Is there already some way to do this?

EDIT: Is there any big downside to not entering my Kobo account into the reader other than not being able to buy books from the reader itself?

EDIT 2: Is there a way to give a different device name in the Kobo Utilities plugin devices tab? If this goes well then my wife will also get the same reader and it would be nice to tell them apart other than with the serial number.
