No, as those aren't names, but suffixes providing the reason for the name (de Jong = the Young, van der Vaart = from the Vaart - google translate says speed, but most dock areas I know in inland towns have a vaartstraat or vaartkom- maybe Nooly can provide the reason for this), like 'ap' in Welsh.

St. John is two-worded. Both 'Saint' and 'John' could exist independently as surnames, but are inextricably linked in this scenario.


But surely, 'Saint' in its abbreviated form (St.) is not a name itself but part of the name?

Good point. Seems it can't be written in the long form. No double barrel, then.

Those are just all hyphenated ones, no? Although they do all seem to work except Park. One last name. Ji-Sung is given and not family.

Surprised Morten Gamst Pedersen hasn't gotten mentioned yet. Prem player for many years no one listed.

El Abd, Ben Haim & the other korean ones don't 'work' either.
