This is not exactly or rather not at all about hyphenated names but I won't let such a tiny detail stop me:
In Poland, as in most of the various countries around the world, I presume, the proper way of introducing oneself by the whole legal name is:
[first|given] name, {last|sur}name
(forgive my programming-language-like notation). I'm not talking about directories but just about introductions or referring to somebody else, like I'm Lukasz Drejer, for example, and I don't like to and won't ever say it in reverse no, I don't mean rejerD zsukaL.
...but not in Hungary! Last names precede given names there even in the TV subtitles denoting the speaker's identity! Bela Bartok is known among his own countryfolk as Bartok Bela, Liszt Franz his company! For a Pole this looks/sounds strange, how's that for you?
Or maybe anybody heard about some other folk who do the same?
Lukasz
