Do you capitalise the second barrel of a name?

Asked by Paul (2717points) December 29th, 2011

If someone has a double barrelled surname is it “Bann-Khellaf” or “Bann-khellaf”?

I think I heard somewhere that you capitalize both. Oh! In the answers above mine.

Psst… My name is Ash-Leigh, but Fluther wouldn’t let me have my hyphen. :D
