The article's title gives her the name "D.Karthika Anagha", presumably standing for "Devarakonda Karthika Anagha". So does the article in The Hindu - it gives her name as "Devarakonda Kartika Anagha". The text of the article gives it as "Karthika Anagha Devarakonda". Would it be appropriate to move the article to "Devarakonda Kartika Anagha" or "Devarakonda Kartika Anagha" (in line with the MOS for biographical titles) ? I'm not familiar with Indian names, so I'm not sure if the structure is the same as that of Western names. Many thanks. Claritas (talk) 07:15, 24 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
typical South indian naming problem. Her given name is Karthika Anagha, her father's name is Devarakonda Chalapathi Rao. A large number of us (south indians) don't use surnames as such but use the first letter of the father's first name as initial. So her legal name is "D. Karthika Anagha". But when pan-indian news sources report south indian names they expand the father's name as surname. (as north indians follow first name/last name naming conventions similar to western ones). i will fix this and put the indian name template up. --Sodabottle (talk) 07:57, 24 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
