More correctly you would refer to the 'Anderson' as the clonal (or Cultivar) name indicating a particular plant from a cross (or Grex). Usually a clonal name is used to identify a plant with specific qualities (whether awarded or not).
Properly written it would appear as Lc. Derna 'Anderson' followed by any award designation that clone may have received.
I guess you could compare it to a family! Spouse 1 is crossed with spouse 2 resulting in offspring and we give each one a clonal name (ex. John, Kate etc).
Here are extracts of Handbook of judging and exibition AOS
clonal variety: A named individual which is always vegetatively propagated from a clone; a cultivar.
clone: A plant grown from a single seed and all subsequent vegetative divisions of it.
Cultivar name: A fancy (that is, non-Latin) name given to an orchid clone and set in single quotes when written or printed.
Grex: A flock or group, applied collectively to the progeny of a given cross.
Grex name: The fancy (that is, non-Latin) name given to a cross and to all progeny of that cross.
Variety: 1. A given kind; a plant that varies from the type in one or more important characters. (Also see botanical variety, clonal variety, horticultural variety and cultivar.) 2. Both as numbers of different genera and variety within one or a few genera. (For use in scoring Groups of Plants, Collection or Cut Flower Exhibits - paragraphs 6.3.1, 6.3.2, 6.3.3.)
Mericlone: An individual plant produced through meristem tissue culture propagation and treated as a vegetative division of the clone from which it was produced.
