Use of the term "Don."

I understant that the honorific title, "Don," is used with Spanish first names. So "José María Lugo" was known as Don José. But what would his brother, "José del Carmen Lugo," be called? Also "Don José"? Or "Don José del Carmen"? Or simply "Don del Carmen"? Anyone know?

If they're siblings, family and friends usually find a way to differentiate them. Your guess is as good as mine as there are no rules.
