You are right. The name of her daughters are not very common. She will not respect traditions for the third baby. I hope this time it will be a boy.

she respected tradition with her first daughter's name; who got the name of her grand-grand-grand mother Maud.
So, everything's possible.

A Family-based name like Maud.
Or a very uncommon name like Leah Isadora.

*cough* Søren is actually a mild curse-word in Norwegian *cough*

Of course there are males called it as well, but I just imagine the punning that will take place in the headlines.

For a boy I like Erik Haakon or Olav Halvor, for a girl Liv Sofie or Dagny Josephine. I like also the names Sonja Marianne but I think it will be something special.

For a girl, Anna Elisabeth. I think it would go so well with their two daughters.

Maud Angelica, Leah Isadora and Anna Elisabeth.

For a boy, its got to be Olav Harald.

Beck, I really like Anna Elisabeth, but i would love Sofia for a girl as well. Somehow i think it would be more like Jessica or something.
Jessica Sofia sounds sweet.

For a boy i really think it will be Olav or Victor for some reason.

My my... But yeah, this sounds likely.
I guess she'll at least chose one uncommon (at least uncommon in Royal circles!) name for the baby.
Jessica, Jaqueline, Thyra, Elias..

For a girl : I love the names Liv Sophie...

I think it will be a girl! I like Thyra. But I can see her naming the baby more like Leah's name...maybe Maja Elinora.

Are you sure that's what she was named after? Padme and Anakin's daughter was Leia (Lay-uh) where as Martha and Ari's daughter is Leah (Lee-ah..in English anyway)

Yes, I am. She was named after the Star Wars Princess, because Märtha is a Star Wars Fan.
Sounds crazy; but it's true.

No pronounciation is entirely correct, but the name "Leah" is more pronounced "Lay-uh" than "Lee-ah".

Leah Isadora's Wikipedia entry says:

she made headlines around the world when it was revealed that her name Leah was inspired in part by the Star Wars
character Princess Leia. Her mother Princess Märtha Louise said in an interview with Norwegian newspaperAftenposten, "I must admit that I have always been a big 'Star Wars' fan, and Princess Leia has always been the most beautiful in the whole world."
