Snapper, I'm not sure I understand your question. As far as what they're called, are you insinuating that the word following the family name should be capped BECAUSE that's the name? If so, then yes. It's been my entire point. Where you'd lose me if this is what you're getting at, is it IS what they ARE. Without complicating it, both go hand in hand to me. Seems to me like we just have a difference in opinion as to how far capitalization stretches when it comes to nouns attached to family names. I happen to emphasize the former option regarding your question.

@TU3, "googling it" isn't proof of proper usage. It's easy, sure, but it's also lazy. All that's needed is knowing what a proper noun is and applying it. What you've "seen" isn't necessarily accurate.
