Name change

I am recommending that the name of this article be changed from Vicken von Post-Börjesson to Vicken von Post Totten. "Börjesson" was her first husband's name and he gets divorced and she, as far as I can tell, drops the name. Later she marries American architect George Oakley Totten, Jr.. In the four English sources that I have, (1)Petteys, Chris, Dictionary of Women Artists: An international dictionary of women artists born before 1900, G.K. Hall & Co., Boston, 1985, (2) McGlauflin, Alice Coe, ed., Who’s Who in American Art 1938-193 vol.2, The American Federation of Arts, Washington D.C., 1937, (3)Opitz, Glenn B, Editor, Mantle Fielding's Dictionary of American Painters, Sculptors & Engravers, Apollo Book, Poughkeepsie NY, 1986 , and (4)Park, Marlene and Gerald E. Markowitz, Democratic Vistas: Post Offices and Public Art in the New Deal, Temple University Press, Philadelphia 1984, all list her as "Vicken von Post Totten." Your thoughts?

Carptrash. Absolutely, change the name. You may want to add an image of the Warder Mansion, the H.H. Richardson house that the Tottens rescued from demolition and relocated to their garden. == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 05:31, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

BoringHistoryGuy , or maybe add an image of one of her works? Being from Sweden and having lived all over I hear that she was quite a linguist. Carptrash (talk) 06:14, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
