Talk:Peguero Jean Philippe

Peguero Jean Philippe or Jean Philippe Peguero
According to Peguero himself in this interview (video, first question), his name is Peguero Jean Philippe, not the other way around. Is there any reasoning behind the article title as it is now? If not, I'll move the article to Peguero Jean Philippe. -- Hestemand 15:47, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Peguero is his surname (last name) and it is my understanding that Haitians generally refer to themselves in the same manner as French people - first name (given name) then last name (surname). I'm moving back based on, , , etc. Best regards. Jogurney 21:21, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I have no reason to believe that Haitian naming conventions differ from those most common in Europe, that is first name (given name) followed by last name (surname). I therefore direct your attention to the video provided in my argument above: He himself states that Peguero is his "first name" (and given name presumably) and Jean Philippe his "last name". This is supported by his brondby.com profile. Regards, Hestemand 18:52, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * FIFA and GSM both list his surname as Peguero. TheBigJagielka (talk) 01:24, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I chanced upon this article after many years only to find the naming question not having been completely resolved. Sadly, the interview that I posted above is no longer to be found, but after a little research I discovered this article and this copy-paste of an article (original also MIA). Apparently Peguero at one point told a white lie about the order of his name, so there's certainly good reason for all the confusion. There may be a majority of soccer sites that have him listed as Jean Philippe Peguero, but I can find plenty that don't. To me, therefore, it seems evident that his name is indeed Peguero Jean Philippe, "Pedro" and "JPP" being nicknames. So I'll be moving this talk page back and undoing the name changes shortly.

 * Aaand then I check his Facebook profile only to find a pre-Colorado stint diploma with the name Jean Philippe Peguero on it. This guy :) Peguero Jean Philippe still seems the most likely, though. Hestemand (talk) 17:51, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

It looks like an overwhelming majority of US news sources refer to him as Jean Philippe Peguero (SI, Sun Sentinel and ESPN). I remember the online video interview, but I think we ought to follow reliable sources here and reflect Peguero as his surname as the clear majority of them do.

 * I wasn't a registered user when this discussion had started but it seems to me that provided by  would trump the so-called reliable sources. This is basically a written interview, quite possibly the same as the video? All in all, the way we have it now looks good. Thanks for solving what looked to be a very uneasy task .
