Thank you - that link made your complaint much clearer.
For all of my research on this fic, I was having a very hard time reconciling the royal family's traditional way of naming (and renaming when they married/converted/etc) with the way everyone else in Russia might have done it, but I think I understand what you're saying now. Would the name Arthur Ectorovich Petrovin suffice?
However, on the matter of Igraine, I was simply explaining that the name Feodorovna was one commonly given to the tsaritsa in place of a patronymic when she converted to Russian Orthodox to marry (ex. Maria Feodorovna; Tsaritsa Alexandra Feodorovna Romanova), trading in their old names for new (ex. Maria Feodorovna was actually born Sophie Dorothea - another example of why I found the royal naming so hard to understand lol). So, Igraine's new name would be Igraine Feodorovna Petrovina.
Thank you for your comments on this - they've been very helpful.

EDIT: Forgot the 'a' on Igraine's name.
