Her name

[edit]

Did SHE actually ever use the form 'Anna Austen Lefroy' (Google books doesn't bring up any matches; they all refer to 'Anna Lefroy', with a few providing her full maiden name as Jane Anna Elizabeth Austen also), this being exceedingly rare in England, or is this just the U.S.-centric way Wikipedia usually seems to operate? I see her entry at janeausten.co.uk referenced in the article gives her name as such- even if in outside of the page headings it uses 'Anna Lefroy'- but if this is shorthand to indicate her maiden name and married name rather than what she was actually called, it doesn't seem like the article should be called anything other than 'Anna Lefroy' or even something like 'Anne Lefroy, née Austen', since it gives a misleading impression. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.243.102.190 (talk) 01:21, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
