In Brazil we use the forename first, but the sometimes we don't even use the forename; we prefer to use nicknames (i.e. soccer players' names).

In your country, do people put their surname first or at the end?
In my home country people always write their first name first and they bring surname. but sometime they tell surname at the beginning at speaking and after a little pause, they say their first name.
