Name particle

I feel like Mandalorians would, in Mando'a, use Be as a particle between their given and clan names. Eh?

What, like Canderous be Ordo? Canderous b'Aliit Ordo? Maybe, but the vibe I generally operate on with Mando'a is fewer words, not more...

Shorter, maybe, in sentence composition for general conversation, and that’s usually just removing articles and stuff. Mando’a can be long winded, poetic, or formal. I mean, their phrase for love is 6 whole syllables spread along 2 words.
Given their focus on identity and Clans, it just feels right to me that they would use a particle. But also, it’s how Von, De, and No, etc, existed before when talking about Houses and such.
Also, I feel like it would be Name Aliit instead of Aliit Name. No idea where that idea came from.
