Bio and Autonodetitle will do exactly what you describe.
Bio can be used for users creating their own profiles; if the profiles will be entered by someone other than the person being described (ie, you are creating a site that gives biographical info on renowned oceanographers) then you can use autonodetitle with a standard cck content type.
Cheers,

Using CCK to create a person type.
Fields are to be lastname, firstname, DOB...
CCK is forcing me to give each entry a title which doesn't see to make sense, unless I use the persons full name. But I'd rather have this in lastname, firstname fields. Is there a way to add a unique id in the title field and hide it from the public?
