This is just arguing about whether the surname goes before or after the given name.

If you think int x makes the most sense, you might be Chinese. Or Hungarian. Or English speaking if you grew up with characters like Fireman Sam or Postman Pat... erm...

If you think of int as an adjective, the whole situation changes. It makes sense to an English speaker, but is backwards to a Spanish speaker.
