I am indexing Indian children born in South Africa and would like to know if the female names "BeeBee, Bibi, or Bee" are surnames or secondary names?

    Wikipedia gives it as a title meaning Miss, or also wife.

    We need the Shared batch code to look at that record to help. In the General Indexing Guidelines we do find this general guideline but project instructions may ask you do do them differently.

    "If you cannot determine whether a name is a given name or a surname, type it in the Given Names field."
