| Feb 5, 2018 at 21:44 | comment | added | Lambie | There is no middle name in Portuguese. Therefore, what you [the OP] perceive as that is not in fact one. A second name that appears is either part of a double first name like in English or the first part of a last name with two names, which is unlike English. | |
| Feb 5, 2018 at 21:25 | comment | added | Centaurus | @Lambie No, I'm asking how would you phrase this sentence in my answer: "How can you tell, then, if a middle name is part of one's surname?" which is what I think you referred to in your first comment. | |
| Feb 5, 2018 at 20:50 | comment | added | Lambie | @Centaurus This is all making my headspin...that said, perhaps: a double first name: Ana Maria or Anne Marie. And: a double last name or two-name last name. And: a first name with de and a last name with de. Does that work for you? Credo.....estou ficando bem louca com isso tudo. | |
| Feb 5, 2018 at 20:44 | comment | added | Centaurus | @Lambie Yes, you're right. But how would you phrase my sentence to convey what I meant it to? "the name in the middle"? "the second name"? | |
| Feb 5, 2018 at 19:12 | comment | added | Lambie | There is no middle name in Portuguese as that term is understood in English. There are given names that contain de, and double given names, like in English, and there are last names that contain de, and there are double last names, which also does not exist in English. I'm just worried about nomenclature here. | |
