Isn’t Van part of a last name, not a middle name?

If we’re being sticklers, yes. Van Halen and Van Zandt don’t count as two names.

Bon Jovi is Jon’s last name as well (at least a respelling of it).

Next up: If OJ didn’t do it, who did? (Wild ass theories)

  1. It was a murder/suicide by Ron Goldman

Next up: If OJ didn’t do it, who did? (Wild ass theories)

  1. It was a murder/suicide by Ron Goldman
  2. Professional house guest, Kato Kaelin, did it in an ill-considered attempt to increase his publicity profile, but after doing the deed got cold feet and didn’t confess

sure… except it wasn’t specified that it had to be first, middle, last name. Similarly, Scott-Heron would not be considered 2 names since a hyphenated surname is one word.
