[edit] Surname

Seems to be wide confusion about surname order and dash or not.

Svensson Pääjärvi is used here, on Birthday.se (a site who tries to mirror authorities in Sweden) and on the IIHF site.
Svensson-Pääjärvi is used on Eurohockey.net, [HockeyDB.com, and inside the Swehockey.se stats page.
Pääjärvi Svensson is used on Eliteprospects.com.
Pääjärvi-Svensson is used on the Timrå IK junior roster page and his Timrå IK profile page.
...and just Pääjärvi was used repeatedly by TV commentaries in Sweden during the WJHC.

Before I created this article I looked in to it since there are plenty of variations. But I think it's quite clear that his name is Svensson Pääjärvi, in that order and without dashes. I used Ratsit as my reference, and Ratsit use official records. Also the Swedish Ice Hockey Association has him listed as Svensson Pääjärvi in all their documents ([1], [2], etc). And during the WJHC his jersey had Svensson Pääjärvi on it ([3]). --Krm500 (talk) 23:03, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Svensson Pääjärvi is indeed the most used version at this time. However, I would not be suprised if there will be changes in the future. Peter Regin was listed as Peter Regin Jensen and similar in some of his early WJHC. My list above is just a note for future references. --Bamsefar75 (talk) 18:53, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't be surprised if he drops Svensson, since Pääjärvi is very characteristic and a rare surname for a swede. But that is all speculations, and right now Svensson Pääjärvi is what we should use for the article. --Krm500 (talk) 21:52, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

While he used the double surname in WJC, he now played in the 2008 IIHF World U18 Championships as Magnus Paajarvi. I added two redirects for this. --Bamsefar75 (talk) 16:33, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
