I believe it was the other way around. Watanuki is the family name. Kimihiro is his given name. Doumeki is the family name as well, and Shizuka is the given name. You can tell this, particularly with Doumeki, because
Show contentIn the manga, the chapter where Watanuki dreams of Doumeki's grandfather as a young man, he had asked about "Shizuka". Basically, only close friends and family members will call people by their given names.

Yes, the others corrected me. I only read the Del Rey translations, so I haven't gotten to that chapter (and those translations aren't very clear about whether the names are family or personal). I apologize for stating incorrect information - I should have checked my facts more thoroughly (really, what posessed me to check using the notes at the end of Tsubasa 1? Other than the fact that they were right next to me and I expected them to be consistent with the XXXHOLiC translation, being done by the same guy and all...).
