Souns a little too Scandinavian, IMO.

I like the name Atene for a girl.
Maybe something like Frederica Atene; or Ana Sophia.

That would be lovely and in keeping with tradition, and Frederica can be spelled several different ways.

[BELTRANEJA]

The name of Federica would be a good tribute to a great Queen.

Godparents for the new baby boy
Princess Mary or Princess Marie of Denmark
Prince Harry (isnt William agodfather of one of their children)
Princess Letizia

I would love to see this baby with his father's name, especially since he was born on the feast of Saints Peter and Paul (Pavlos). I can't wait to see whom the family names as godparents.

[iakynthi]

Pavlos is ok.But they always have a second name,usually an ancient greek one.So,my suggestions:Filippos,Orestis,Apollonas or Ectoras.

[morhange]

Aeneas-Alexandros, even though Aeneas was a Trojan hero. It's a really nice name to go in line with their two youngest boys.

Ajax wouldn't be good because its like the cleaning product. Maybe Orestes-Alexandros?

[emilieweber2004]

possible godparents for the baby:
Cristina or Elena of Spain ( I heard that they are pretty close with the greek family)

[iakynthi]

Godparents of the baby:
Letizia of Spain
William
Rania of Jordan

Actually as far as I have read in the mythology books his greek name is Aias (Ajax is the roman way of spelling it)
Can a Greek confirm or deny this?

[iakynthi]

Yes,it's written Aias and we spell it "Eas" (E like egg).It's a beautiful name and a rare one.

[Odette]

You are correct Iakynthi it is spelled Eas and written Aias. However they need to find a name of a Saint or Martyr as the first one. The Church bent the rules enough on the second names but GO Church needs a first given name that is celebrated in the GO calendar.
Some names like Alexandros is not likely since anything that has been connected with a problematic reign, in my opinion, will be avoided.

[iakynthi]

I really don't know anything about the last one.I only know that Alexandros/-a are considered christian names and we celebrate them as well(30 August).

[Odette]

That is what I meant. As long as they are celebrated in the GO calendar the Church will baptise a baby with that name. BTW I hope you have central air........the mercury reached a 100 degrees!
With regard to the name Alexandros, my doubts stem from the fate of the last King Alexandros, the monkey bite, Aspasia Manou and Eleftherios Venizelos. Just pure speculation on my part knowing how superstituous one can be.

[iakynthi]

I've read about the monkey bite episode and it's really sad.But,maybe they are going to think about Great Alexander and change their mind.Who knows? PS.It's a really hot day,but my air-condition works fine!

[Odette]

K Alexandros's life was really sad so who knows? We will find out about the name soon enough.

There is an article in WWD that states the baby's name:
