Talk:Harika Dronavalli

Name order
The current version of this entry has the eastern name order template at the top stating that "Harika Dronavalli" is the native form of the name. Hoewever, I found out that her father's name is Dronavalli Ramesh (Sportstar's interview, India Today's article in which he is mentioned as "D. Ramesh"). In the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, where also Koneru Humpy and Pentala Harikrishna are from, the surname precedes the name and people are addressed by their first name, as explained by this Chessbase's article (e.g. "Miss Humpy", "Mr Ashok"). So it turns out that Harika is her first name (in all interviews she is always addressed "Harika") and "Dronavalli" her family name, and FIDE is wrong (it's not the first time).

 * I'd support a page move to switch the names round. I've always known her as Harika Dronavalli not the current way round. Jkmaskell (talk) 18:36, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
