As promised, a hastily scribbled visual for keeping the Sophias straight.
I tried to limit it to people we've talked about in salon, though Liselotte's dad snuck in so I could add her. (Worse, to fit them neatly on the page, I had to make him look younger than Sophia of Hanover, when he was actually older--much so. As we know, she was the baby.)
I debated whether to include Sophia Dorothea, sister of Fritz, who married one of the Schwedt cousins, but we haven't talked about her much, and I figured another SD would just confuse things.

Thank you! <3 I feel like this combined with selenak's writeup of the Winter Queen book (...I know it had another title about Mary Queen of Scots or something, but, like, Winter Queen is such a better title) is getting everything slightly more straight for me! (There are STILL too many Sophias, though :P )
(Heh, "Sophia" was actually one of the main contenders for what we would have named E, only it happened to be the most popular name THAT year as well!)
