Question about Chow Yun-Fat

[JenGe]

I'm creating a page for him right now but I'm really not sure how to list him alphabetically. Would it be "Y" for Yun-Fat or "F" for Fat or both??

According to Wikipedia, "Chinese personal names follow a number of conventions different from those of Western personal names. Most noticeably, a Chinese name is written with the surname first and the given name second. For instance, the basketball player Yao Ming is Mr. Yao, not Mr. Ming.

Note however, some Chinese people who emigrate to or do business with Western countries sometimes adopt a Westernized name, usually with a Western first name together with their surname, which is then written in the usual Western order with the surname last. Other Chinese people sometimes take a combined name, consisting of Western first name, surname, and Chinese given name, in that order."

I think the first paragraph applies, so you could list it under Chow.

If you choose to list it under both first name and surname, I think it would be Yun-Fat, not Fat, because of the hyphen.

Ok, I'll do it under "Yun-Fat" for now until someone tells me something different.

Thanks!!!
