Overleg:Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby

Maiden name

Sorry to tell you that the title of this article Mette-Marit Tjessem-Høiby is wrong!

If the Netherlands's Wikipedia articles shall refer to all the women elevated to royalty, by their maiden surnames, you must get it right, don't you?

Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby -- careful no hyphen between her previous middle name and her previous surname.

In the central public register of Norway (also in schools and elsewhere) Mette-Marit was not listed under T, because Tjessem simply was her middle name. Mette-Marit was listed under H after the first letter in her then surname Høiby.

Mette-Marit first got her middle name Tjessem after her parents got divorced when she was eleven years old.

Thereafter her mother Marit chose to change her own surname once more. That time from her married name Høiby back to her maiden name Tjessem.

It was not until then Mette-Marit got a legal middle name; Tjessem.

There has never ever been a hyphen between her new acquired middle name and the surname she had carried since birth.

I wonder who would search for 1962 Sophie van Griekenland when they want to read about Koningin Sofia van Spanje??

If you don't know the old (in fact by now more than 6 years past) surname it is not easy to find Prinses Mathilde, is it?

To me it seems necessary to create quite some redirecting pages.

BTW You still have these articles named Silvia van Zweden and Alexandra Christina van Denemarken...

I sincerely apologise for not writing in nederlands. 28 jan 2006
