[edit] Last name

Does anyone know if it's Van with a capital V or van with a small v. I think it should be a small v but I always see a big V in most circumstances. Kingjeff 20:20, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

v (small) -- 88.134.58.25

Are you saying I'm right and it is a small v? Kingjeff 19:35, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

That's not correct, I think. In Holland, names starting with "van" are written with a small v (but only when they are preceded by a first name). But in Belgium, "Van" is usually written with a capital V. So, in the Netherlands you'd have Rafael van der Vaart and Ruud van Nistelrooij, while in Belgium you have Daniel Van Buyten, Anthony Vanden Borre, Jelle Van Damme etc. The same stands for names starting with "de/De": Frank de Boer, Geert De Vlieger. -- Necatrix Regina 14:35, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Necatrix is right. Julien Tuerlinckx 17:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
