Some of the managers of the profile for Sweyn II Estridson, King of Denmark have been having a debate about putting Dynastic Names in the Birth Name field. They are having problems figuring out how to start a public discussion, so I'm creating one here for them to use.
What dynastic name is being suggested here?
Note that Sven was using a matronymic (Estridsen) rather than his patronymic (his father was named Ulf), probably to emphasize his descent from Svend Tveskjæg (Svend Forkbeard).
Both cited Wikipedias seem to be saying that he used the "Estridsen" (Ástríðarson) himself; it was not something imposed by later historians.
Elna Kirstine Plougmann has been particularly vocal. I think it's best to let her make her argument herself.
Aside:
I see I Curate Sveinn - by default of identifying him in a Curator Note as Shakespeare's 'Sweno' in Macbeth. I'm happy if Bjorn or Harald want to take over Curation to make sure the name conforms to whatever you decide at the end. Otherwise - just let me know how it should change.
