    as i said in another comment:

    wouldn’t that be Melinda French-Gates?

    in the article (and others about this), her name isn’t hyphenated, and when only referred to by her last name, it’s just “Gates”

    Gates said that she has voted for both Republicans and Democrats in past elections.

        without the dash, it seems like it’s her middle name

          That doesn’t really matter, though.

          Agreed, but like second last name middle name.

          A lot of people had names like that where I grew up
