Suggested names and godparents of Marie Chantals' 5th child

[iannis]

I find Alexandros (Αλέξανδρος) a perfect name for a boy; it's the name of both a Greek King (Pavlos's grandfather's older brother) and the greatest ever Greek king of antiquity, Alexander the Great

As for a girl Frederika (Φρειδερίκη) for the late grandmother of Pavlos or Phaedra (Φαίδρα) is a lovely ancient Greek name

This would be very amusing, considering the names are like the Olympic and Titanic, which are pretty famous ships

But I think that would be really cool, an Olympia and a Titania

Not sure about Leonidas, but I think alot of 300 fans would love THAT

[emmalisa]

Maria Apollonia
Maria Cleopatra

Georgios Pavlos
Georgios Nicholaos

[Carminha Stalker]

I´m sorry to insist on this, but their third child is called Achilles Aeneas. If you don´t believe it go to the Royal Greek site and check.

[sita]

Hello,
What I read is Achilleas Andreas...
???

[kimebear]

According to the official site for the Greek Royal Family the name is Achileas Andreas:

The Greek Royal Family - The Royal Family

[Leslie2006]

They're having another boy? Wow...

Names:
Alexandros-Ionnes
Nikolaos-Theodoros
Georgios-Pavlos

[kimebear]

No. There has been some debate about the name of their third son. There has not yet been an announcement regarding the sex of the new baby.

[Stefanie]

The sex of the greek royal babies has so far never been announced before the birth.

[principessa]

My suggestions for the godparents of the unborn fifth child of Pavlos and Marie-Chantal are:

Baby Greece/Denmark - Miller
Prince Joachim of Denmark
Infanta Christina of Spain
Prince Gustav of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg
Christopher Getty
and two friends

[Leslie2006]

Well, if it's a girl then:

Eleni-Sophia
Cecilia-Alexandra
Theodora-Chantal

Why does MC call her children using the French version of their names?

[morhange]

The French versions of her children's names aren't very different from the English ones :)

Marie Olympia
Constantine Alexis
Achille André
Ulysse Cimon

[sita]

Or rather I think :
Marie-Olympe
Constantin (the end is pronounced like vin or pain).

In fact I've read that the boys are often called Tino, Achi and Odi. Nothing about a shortened version of Maria Olympia.

In the recent swedish documentary we can hear several times that MC calls her husband Pavlos (and not Paul).

[politikgirl]

Thanks for the helpful replies. :) I was just wondering why French, since MC isn't French herself? (Not that people who aren't French can't use French)

How cute that for C-A, they use the nickname that King Constantine I had :)

I think Tino is a fairly common nick name for someone named Constantine. I have 2 friends, totally unrelated, named Constantine and both go by Tino. I also have a friend Martin who for some reason his friends called Martino and then Tino.

I like the next names for a boy:
Alexander Nicolas Constantin

and for girl:

Tatiana and Alexandra Maria

[Stefanie]

Can´t imagine Tatiana since this is the name of Nicholaos´ mysterious girlfriend who he doesn´t marry.....
In case they call a girl indeed Tatiana then it might be a sign that Nik and Tatiana Blathnik have some plans to announce...

[Ineke]

I like these names for a girl: Agathe, Arthemis, Iris or Daphne...for a boy: Alexis, Hektor or Nikolaos...:)
