I wouldn't call it confusing because the rules are very regular. Prepositions and articles are lowercase unless they start the sentence, the same rules apply to spelling in titles (eg. book titles).
- Someone 9mo agoIt’s confusing because you have to know the nationality of a person to know how to capitalize their surname (In Flemish Dutch, prepositions that do not start a sentence are uppercase if they’re part of a name) And nitpick: you likely meant “Willy Vandersteen” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willy_Vandersteen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willy_Vandersteen), but that would be a bad example as it, I think, would always be capitalized, also if he were Dutch.
