There's also an interesting article written by Matthis Lehmann concerning this subject: "What's in a name? Grunkin-Paul and beyond, in Yearbook of Private International Law”, Vol. 10 (2008).<br /><br />I am thinking about re-writing such essay, so that I may publish it with these new developments. If any of the fellow readers knows about some articles regarding this matter (languages: portuguese, english, french and spanish), I would very much appreciate if you share such information.<br /><br />Thanks in advance,Pedro Malaquiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12708800592672693438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-35296931844810286002011-01-03T16:05:58.009+00:002011-01-03T16:05:58.009+00:00If I remember this correctly, the only person who ...If I remember this correctly, the only person who (after 1945 at least) was permitted the use 'von' in his name was Herbert von Karajan. Even the pretender to the Austrian throne is called merely Otto Habsburg (or Otto Habsburg-Lothringen), rather than 'O. von H.'.<br /><br />Perhaps the dislike of <i><b>inherited</b></i> titles (which I believe is anchored in the Austrian constitution) is more than balanced by the Austrian habit of addressing people by the titles they have <i><b>earned</b></i> in some way or another (Frau Doktor, Herr Ingenieur, Herr Hofrat etc.) I guess no Austrian would dream of calling O. von H. anything other than Dr. Habsburg.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
