You're adding incorrect given names
[edit]Please note that it's far from uncommon for Scandinavians, such as Hanne C.S. Iversen (Q17097200) to have more than 1 surname and that Simonsen (Q21450323) is not a given name. --Hjart (talk) 12:41, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
- We have a separate property, Scandinavian middle family name (P6978), created for this kind of middle name. Einar Myre (talk) 15:59, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
- I cannot speak for Scandinavia as a whole, as I am only familiar with the Norwegian name laws, however, in Norway there is absolutely no one with more than one surname. In Norway you can only legally have one surname. If you wish to use more than one surname in Norway, you are left with two options; option one is to connect the surnames with a hyphen (-), so it will be considered as just one surname, and option two is to use one of the surnames as a "middle name", so the person's legal name will only be considered to have "one surname".
- Thanks to Einar Myre for showing me property Scandinavian middle family name (P6978), I was not aware this existed, but now I do, and I will therefore from now on be using the correct property, and to Hjart, you've been adding incorrect family names, I have now corrected your mistakes, such as on Hanne C.S. Iversen (Q17097200) ;) 81.166.107.36 18:39, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
