Yes by design. The given name is filled from the primary Name Var Tag.

Why do you want a Suffix entered?

In Ver 4 and I assume in Ver 5 also, if you have any other field but the
Surname populated, the Suppress Married Names in a Journal Report will
not work and the sentence "Her married name was xxxxx" will print. I do
not know if having a Suffix will cause this.

If woman does not assume her husband's surname at marriage, then having
a Nam-Marr with her birth name will print and show that she did not
change it.
