using given/diminutive instead of surname?

edit

Hey, KAVEBEAR, were you using his given/diminutive rather than his surname for a reason? --valereee (talk) 16:37, 29 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Given/diminutive name became surnames in Hawaii. Also it’s very hard to distinguish between Chun Afong and brother Chun Chik-yu (Toney). KAVEBEAR (talk) 21:05, 29 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Okay, if that's a thing in Hawaii, I won't object. We might want to do something to let other editors know this is a Hawaiian thing. --valereee (talk) 23:23, 29 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
