Last name

Does he really use a hyphen? I doubt it. Spanish people use two family names, cf. Iberian naming customs. [1] is not an official homepage of López Cobos. Google finds about as much references to JLC without hyphen as with hyphen, with a preference to non-hyphen-spelling on spanish pages (e.g. [2], [3] etc.) --FordPrefect42 08:56, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. He does. I did check this first, as I try to be as meticulous as possible, particularly with article titles. If you check CD covers, you'll find that they consistently have both accents and hyphen. I could provide probably dozens, but I don't have the time. Here are two: [4] [5] Badagnani 15:30, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am not convinced, as the usage of the hyphen is not consistent regarding his CD covers, see [6] or [7]. But it looks like JLC has given in and is using the hyphen in English-speaking countries (though wrong in Spanish), so it may be consistent after all to have his name this way in the English Wikipedia. --FordPrefect42 15:44, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just looked at several Spanish-language websites (interviews, profiles, etc.) and none had the hyphen. Apparently they either assumed he doesn't use it or they're following the general rule you mention. However, the way he uses it now (as he mainly lives overseas) seems to have it. See his manager's website: http://www.icmartists.com/musperf/profiles/60139.html and the orchestra he conducted for a long time: http://www.cincinnatisymphony.org/Musicians/Lopez-Cobos.asp

It's similar to, for example, Petr Kotik or Miroslav Vitous, both musicians who came from the Czech Republic but choose not to use the diacritics on their names (Kotik on the "i" in his surname and Vitous on the "s"); I have asked Kotik about and he dismissively said, "No, I don't use it." Badagnani 16:57, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He obviously uses it now, agreed ;-) --FordPrefect42 17:19, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Probably he added it while living the States, so people would not think that Lopez was his middle name ;) --Karljoos (talk) 16:39, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just a sidenote that may or may not be important (I am originally Spanish): In Spain the surnames are indeed the paternal and maternal first surnames. In the latter times the order can be decided by the parents and later by the person herself. Surnames with a hyphen are considered a single surname and they commonly denote noble origin much as in other parts of Western Europe where composite surnames are used by nobility. As Karljoos points in some countries the two names are joined together with a hyphen for practical reasons, such as being used as a single field in a form. An example is my surname: "Martínez Montero" which was hyphenated by the bank personnel to make it usable on my bank account. I later decided to drop the last surname and the special characters when I became Dutch.
