Is this a surname + given name situation? If not, I think we can keep it. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 16:21, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

@Justinrleung, this is murky stuff. Apparently 《漢書·五行志》 refers the person as if "毐" were a personal name. It is difficult to ascertain whether this was by mere convention or based on actual, concrete knowledge. The name itself might have not been an actual "personal name" to begin with (see damnatio memoriae). The English Wikipedia article Lao Ai has a readable summary of the murky details. --Frigoris (talk) 13:42, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
