Out of all anime character mentions that uses the "last name, first name" format, Asuka's name has to be the most underused one. I wonder why.

Placing the family name before the given name is a Japanese custom; it doesn't have anything to do with anime. Asuka's name isn't done that way because she's not Japanese, if I recall correctly.

She grew up in Europe and introduces herself in the European convention so that carries over to her MAL profile

Because she's from Europe, and it's actually pretty common for non-Japanese characters to follow the Euro/Merican trend. Think Konoka Clancy from Patlabor, Rally Vincent from Gunsmith Cats. This may pass over to more fantasy themed titles as well, I've not seen characters in FMA follow the Japanese naming convention. Granted I mostly watch dubbed and can only read translated manga so I could be way off.

She's german, and also IMO it sounds better "first name, last name" for her
