I'm not sure I quite understand what you mean by the "prefix". What I think you mean is that if objects are grouped, then they 
would all use the same prefix in the event handler name.

But, regardless if I am understanding that correctly, if the behavior is by design, then I would need to create an event handler 
for the group and test Last.Name to determine whether or not to take action.
