Terry_Reeves Posted 16 October , 2006 Share Posted 16 October , 2006 Chris The convention is, that it's the first part of the name that counts with a hyphenated name. However, with a name like De Clifford or De Colyar, that is split names without a hyphen, it's the last name that matters. As the late Harry Worth said "I don't know why, but there it is" Terry Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
