I don't know the answer to your question, but I'd like to point out
that in traditional typesetting proper names are not hyphenated. 

I have LO 4.2.7.2 on Xubuntu and Ctrl - does add a hyphen in 'Bruinsma'
as you wanted it to do. And the name does break on the optional hyphen
when I add text to force it beyond the end of the line.

Do I assume correctly that otherwise hyphenation is working as expected?
