hyphenated name or not? Ortho - jld

Posted: Jun 05, 2012

I know most names are hyphenated because they're usually named after more than one person, but there are exceptions such a Denis Browne or Robert Jones (splint) when it's just one person's first and last names.

I am transcribing an op report in Ortho for a kid with a Salter-Harris fracture (That one I know - Salter-Harris isn't the question.), but the fragment is called a *Thurston Holland* or *Thurston-Holland* fragment. When I google it, I can find it both ways, also in reference to a Thurston Holland "sign," but I can't find anywhere where it tells you whom it's named after. Anyone know? Hyphenate or not? Thanks in advance.

Hyphenated name - Lisa

Thurston-Holland flag sign or sign with a hyphen. Love those old reference BOOKS. There used to be a web site, I think, called whonamedit.com Might be able to find it there.

Great. Thanks. - nm - jld
