You know, a lot of this naming stuff comes from the Library of Congresses
authority records. They have certain rules about names. The worst example of
this is Vincent Van Gogh. Most of us probably refer to him as Van Gogh. Not
catalogers. Because he was not born in the U.S., his name is Gogh, Vincent
Van. This was one reason that I decided NOT to become a cataloger!
