| | Posted: | | | | My assumption would be that it is indeed a two-part last name but it's simply to long for the screen.
If I understood the reasoning for spanish names correctly this makes absolute sense.
The mother's name comes last because it gets lost in the next generation. Then it makes absolute sense that this is the one that is abbreviated because it's the least important part. | | | Karsten

Instead of just looking at the rules I thought it might be helpful to look at how the person is credited everywhere on the Internet so I looked for "Francisco Gutierrez P" and "Marian Wenhammar D". IMDB WikipediaI also found some other references to Francisco Gutierrez P on the internet - A ford fiesta club etc. Marian Wenhammar D. As well as this film on IMDB she is also credited on fearnet the same way FearnetThe only thing that this suggests is that this is not a 'abbreviation issue' for the Credits. Although if nobody else knew what the last word was.. The fact that I found "Francisco Gutierrez P" as a name on a technical posting means that this isn't just for the actor credit. If the person is from Venezuela do they have separate abbreviations there? | | | | Paul |

I thought of this as well, which is why I went to find out what film this was. As you can see from a previous post, there were other two-part last names that were not shortened. I find it odd that they would shorten these two and not any of the others. I also find it odd that they would shorten the last name as opposed to the middle one. I guess I just find the whole thing odd.  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

You can read the Rules as well as I can, Enry.
Let me quote Hal on this: "I have read the Rules. There's nothing there about how to parse these names." Quote:
I am tired of you deliverately making this far more difficult than it is or has to be. Don't blame me if Mexicans take their last name from both dad and mum! Like I said, if you don't have a clue, I don't object to assuming A/B/C as a general starting point. But if someone else has a clue, leave them parse as it is most likely to be. It's the program that asks for First Name, Middle Name, Last Name. If you don't like that, ask Ken for 1 name field (or, maybe, 2 fields, so that we keep the sorting by Last Name as it is now). | | | | -- Enry | | | | Last edited: by White Pongo, Jr. |

and where do you make the jump from 'Annet Wenhammar D.' to 'Marian Wenhammar D'? If you follow the link that I gave to Beaks-Horror movie database you see her listed as Marian Wenhammar D not Annet Wenhammar D. The point I was trying to make is that she is only listed as a D. in the last field and that this couldn't be for shortening but would be the way that she was listed. The marion must be a typing error by the website (which I didn't pick up). | | | | Paul |

So then the answer is that you don't want to listen to guidance. You want to have it YOUR way and to helll with anything else. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!
