The way people in one culture use names for identification may be quite different from the way people in another culture use them. To the degree that conceptual model is general enough the GRAMMAR and LEXICON may neutralize these differences. For example, the GRAMMAR classifies personal name pieces as various combinations of surname pieces, given name pieces, pre-posed titles, and post-posed titles. There are some areas of strong conflict, however, where the way to neutralize is far from clear. There is the question, for example, how a culture might treat certain pre-positive particles, such as the nobiliary indicators — de, von, van, etc., as disposable appendages or as integral parts of the surname piece. In Europe these parts of the surname are not considered when alphabetizing: “von Richthofen” belongs in the R’s. We addressed cultural differences in compound names, such as the double surname: “Barker-Cuthbert” in the paper on the Record Linkage Development System (cf. §4-7, pp. 36f.). This name is a good identifier distinct from either “Barker,” “Cuthbert,” or “Cuthbert-Barker” when used by an individual as his surname. There are three additional cases that we consider here. These deal with given name compounding and aliases on a family name. These patterns all occur quite often in European cultures.
