Talk:Princess Dorothea Sophie of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg

Sophia Dorothea, Dorothea Sophia or just plain Dorothea?

edit

There appears to be some confusion about the name of this person. The sources I can find, including the usually solid Neue Deutsche Biographie, state her name as being simply 'Dorothea'. (Also here and here). The article on German Wikipedia, of which this article is supposed to be a translation, originally (2005) named her Dorothea, but this was later (2006) changed to Dorothea Sophia, without stating a source to justify this. My conclusion would be that she is probably Dorothea, possibly Dorothea Sophia, but definitely not Sophia Dorothea. Nl maclean (talk) 12:18, 8 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
