CONGRATULATIONS TO ANITA AND PIETER CHRISTIAN!
I like all names. Emma is really royal

 

[elmabruin]

Congratulations for the new parents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Marengo]

Franciska is after Emma's paternal grandmother,HRH Princess Margriet Franciska,who was named after her godfather,Francis of Athlone,who at the time of birth of Princess Margriet in Ottawa was Governor-General of Canada,and related through his wife,Princess Alice of Athlone who was a cousin of HM Queen Wilhelmina.

I believe the Earl of Althone's name was Alexander. I always heard that Margriet Fransesca was named after another illustrous godfather: Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In little Emma's name it is clearly a tribute to Princess Margriet indeed.

Congratulations to the happy couple and grandparents and good luck to little Samuel, Lucas and Claus-Casimir .

[HRH Mims]

My Congratulations to Pieter and Anita!
I love name Emma, but Francisca...

 

[lilytornado]

I guess Francisca is fine, but for me Francisca is a name for little farmers girls... not to offend any farmers.
Well, and I have two cousins named Francisca and Catharina... and their grandma is Emma... strange, hmm?

 

[Her_Majesty]

To be honest: I love the name Franciska (or Franziska). It sounds so cute! I think the dutch pronounce it similar as we do.

Will Pieter-Christiaan present his little daughter to the press, as the other dutch princes did?

 

[carlota]

congratulations to the happy family!

i knew it was going to be a girl to follow the dutch tradition they chose really nice names as well... isn't luana also called emma as her second or third name? they also used amalia's first name (perhaps a nice gesture of friendship to mabel and maxima?)

i can't wait to see pieter christiaan, anita and princess emma!

did they get any visits to the hospital?

 

[Tina]

isn't luana also called emma as her second or third name?

Luana's first name is Emma [Emma Luana Ninette Sophie]
