Dear teachers,
If someone said his/her name is:
AAAAA-BBBBB CCCCC
which part is the first name?
which part is the last name?
what is BBBBB actually?
why there is a hyphen here?
Please help. Thank you. |

Mary-Jane Smith.
Mary-Jane is her given name. Smith is her family name.
There is a hyphen because Mary is a given name in its own right and so is Jane. |
