Is it possible to remove required fields from standard objects? I'm specifically interested in removing the "Last Name" required field from the Lead object. 

I understand that you can remove the "Company" field requirement by enabling the Person Account feature.

Is there a similar solution for the "Last Name" field?

Thanks for the help in advance!
