Name suggestions for royal babies of 2005?

[Amilia]

In 2005 there will be a lot of new royal babies.

Rania , Martha-Louise, Mabel , Mariléne , Christina , Maxima
will become mother ( again)

And maybe Letizia , Mary , Mette-Marit , Noor , Mathilde , Lala Salma or Claire will be pregnant again

Let guess the name of the ( future) babies

And don't forget : a name for a girl and a boy !!

[Amilia]

For Mariléne's baby I think that
-Julia(na) will be a beautiful name. Or maybe Emma .
-For a boy maybe Pieter ?

For Christina's baby i like
-Sofia or Mercedes
-Carlos

Then I think he would be Frederik XI.

Someone posted that because 2005 will be Beatrix´s silver anniversary on the throne and because Maxima is from Argentina, that a name, I would say not the first name, of WA´s and Maxima´s baby could be Argenta!

Your are right, but if Frederik and Mary follows tradtion, the boy will be called Christian.

A girl could be anything, maybe Ingrid Margrethe Caroline Mathilde or something

Perhaps Elizabeth after he mother? For Mary? That is her mothers name correct? I think that if and when Mary and Frederik have a child that they will name their daughter after Mary's beloved mother.

For Cristina I like Alfonso and Isabel, we have two great queens called Isabel...

Rania - Prince Zeid bin Abdullah

Not that Mary is even preganent yet, but I read somewhere, I believe in the Frederik and Mary thread, that the heirs to the Danish throne are obligated to name their sons either Frederik or Christian and their daughter Margarethe. I think it has something to do with a royal decree by the last King Frederik. I could be wrong but it seems that their first son and daughter will be named Christian and Margrethe. If you look at the other members of the Danish family, including Joachim, Nikolai, and Felix, they all have Christian and Frederik as one of their many names.

[Lyle]

As for Cristina's new baby, I like Carlos Felipe for a boy and Isabel Sofia for a girl.

I think that Martha Louise will surprise everyone with the name of her baby whether its a girl or a boy...she seems to be a bit funky and bold, so I expect to see a name that is true to that boldness.

For Infanta Cristina New Baby,
I like.
Cristina Sofia or Maria,Mercedes.
Ignacio Alfonzo

[Nathalian]

hummmm...that´s difficult...so...
I would like to see a princess called Nina.....but, i like Olivia, Barbara, Julia,Tatiana, Catharina, Alice, Olga, Sofia, Isabel, Ingrid, Astrid.
For boys......Joachim, Christian, Lucien, Octavius, Julian, Stephano, Otto, Maximillian, Emile, Gustav, Alfred, Alexander.

Rania and Abdullah:
Boy-Abdullah, Hassan, Mohammad
Girl -Sari, Haya, Jada, Fatma (although, this doesn't sound like a very nice name for a little girl), Meera
Ah...give up, I don't know any popular Jordanian names.

Martha Louise and Ari:
Boy - Martin Alexander, Harald Edward, Olaf Alexander, Harald Magnus, Leif Haakon, Magnus Andreas, Matthias Anders
Girl - Mathilda Annelise, Malin Annika, Michaela Alice, Melissa Alexandra, Mathilde Alyssa

Cristina and Inaki:
Boy- Carlos Antonio, Francisco Alfonso, Alejandro Felipe, Antonio Pedro, Joaquin Inaki
Girl- Sara Isabella, Elena Sofia, Celia Teresa, Erica Amalia

Maxima and Willem Alexander:
Boy- Johan Christoph Bernhard Alexander, Willem Christiaan Pieter Bernhard, Andreas Bernhard Claus Niklaas (Nicholas/Nicklas/Niklas), Johan Pieter Andreas Bernhard
Girl- Julianna Christina Rinske Isabella Mathilde (I knew someone named Rinske in grade school...she was Dutch :)

Mabel could use the same names as WA and M. Hmmm...wouldn't it be somethin' if royals shopped for names on the Internet?

As for the danish discussion (and I know that Mary isn't pregnant yet), they don't have to name a girl Margrethe, there is no tradition for the name of reigning queens (and she might not even become queen) like for the kings, ie. Frederik and Christian.

Okay, I went and found what had originally given me the idea of a royal decree determining the names of future Danish royals, so here it is as quoted from the Name of Future Child thread in the Fred and Mary Forum:

By Duke of Earl:

"It's a royal protocol given by a "kings decree" (that's the parliarment and government with the consent of the monarch) This was done in 1953 in connection with the constitutional change. So it's not a tradition, and not a law, but where laws and traditions have been broken, a "kings decree" has never been broken."



Response By Floppy:

"Yep, the first royal decree for nearly 75 years. And only the 6th or 7th since 1856, depending whether you count the one which was made as a replacement for the one on Conscription on the Faeroe Islands.
So no chance of that being broken. Christian, Frederik or Margrethe take your pick those"



So I have to agree with Floppy, it looks like Mary and Fred's oldest kid(s) will have the name Christian, Frederik, or Margrethe...

There is a decree about the female Danish queens, though, isn't there?

[wymanda]

Jordan - Talal, Mohammed, Maktoum!
Alia, Haya, Muna

Spain - Carlos, Felipe, Juan-Pablo, Jesus
Sophia, Mercedes, Maria-Letizia

Holland - Claus, Bernhard, Julius
Julianna, Bernhardine, Beatrix

[Jang]

I think for Mary : Prince Alfred or Alexei of Denmark and Princess Iris or Florence of Denmark , for Letizia : Prince Nicolas of Spain and Princess Tatiana of Spain or Diana

No Royal family in their right mind is going to name a child Diana! Why would any parent want to give their daughter the baggage of being Princess Diana? The constant need to live up to the image is bad enough for their mothers let alone lumbering a child with it!
