This is beyond the scope of the name project. There are other modules that set the title of a node.
Before you say auto_nodetitle module → I think the name field could benefit from having a similar feature built-in.
When building out basic CRM functionality with contact nodes containing the name field it is useful to have the concatenated full name used as the title of the node and as part of the path alias generated from that title.
auto_nodetitle isn't yet available for D8 and I'm not sure it would work in this context anyway as the name component tokens aren't available until the node is saved.
What I'm suggesting is a little different: If this option is chosen in the name field settings, the node title field would be disabled / greyed out on the node edit form to prevent direct user input of the title and as users fill in the name field components jquery would be used to concatenate the name field components into a full name and enter it into the node title field as they type.
I found this example which illustrates the general technique - Autofilling fields based on another field
Maybe this is better as a separate contrib module, but I think it would be really handy.
Closed: works as designed

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
