David Yaffe, sound technician in Lost, House M.D., Buffy and other productions, is also sometimes credited as David Barr Yaffe, David Bar Yaffe,  David Barr Yaffee and as  David Barr-Yaffe.
Because of the latter, I guess Barr Yaffe / Barr-Yaffe is a double last name.

Besides, it would seem that he writes his name as Bar-Yaffe

Any thoughts?

Hopfully either David Yaffe or David Barr-Yaffe is his most commonly credited name - then one of these can be used as Common Name and there won't be a parsing problem! 

Edit: According to the credit lookup tool it may seem that David Barr Yaffe is most common, but please note that this could very well be because he's got lots and lots of credits in disc-level profiles for TV series.
