[edit] Matronymic or middle name

Could somebody confirm whether Fernando is a matronymic? When I write his name in the format "surname, given name" should it be "Fernando Veríssimo, Luís" or "Veríssimo, Luís Fernando"? — Hippietrail (talk) 00:42, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Not a "matronymic". His "given name" is Luís Fernando.

He is Veríssimo, Luís Fernando.

This is the general rule for Portuguese names: people should be listed by their last name, unless they have a composite surname.
