Which royal do you share your name with?

[lise]

I don't share my name with anyone.

[michelle]

My brother shares his name with Prince Sebastien of Luxembourg ....

[iannis]

It is such a pitty that although my name is the most popular name in Greece, there was never a prince named Ioannis. But taken that it's actually John, I suppose it's the same with King Juan Carlos? Please somebody confirm this :(

[ChevalieurduCiel]

I confirm!Juan is the equivelant of Yannis!All the others ...Totally NOT

[leonardinha]

My name's Gisella, so I share my name with some noble ladies from the past like Kaiserin Elisabeth's (Sisi) daughter, and other princesses from the Middle Ages...

[Furienna]

My full name is Christina Maria, but please call me Christina or Kicki. But anyway, there have been many royal Christinas and Marias (or Marys and Maries). Only here in Sweden, there have been two princesses Marias married to Swedish princes, one married to future king Karl IX in the 16th century and one to prince Vilhelm in the early 20th century, and queen Maria Eleonora, who was married to king Gustav II Adolf in the 17th century. Not to mention king Karl IX's second wife queen Christina and their granddaughter queen Christina in the 17th century. Even my sister Gunilla Margareta (called Gunilla) is the namesake of king Johan III:s second queen, Gunilla Bielke, and of queen Margareta Leijonhufvud in the 16th century, crown princess Margareth and princess Margareta and all Margaretas, Margareths and Margaretes in the royal families. Our brother's ful name is Johan Stefan, but he's called Stefan. Johan is the equivalent of all Johns, Jeans, Juans, Giovannis and Ivans out there, and there have been many kings and princes with those names, haven't it? There should be some Stefans too. Our father's ful name is Johan Bertil Adolf, but he's called Bertil. There we have Johan again, and we used to have a prince Bertil over here in Sweden. Adolf has also been a popular royal name in Sweden and Germany. Our mother's ful name is Kerstin Margareta. Kerstin is a Swedish form of Christina, and I have covered that, and I have also covered Margareta.

But being in love with Michael Jackson, I want to ask you: Has there even been a prince or king Michael anywhere?

My middle name is Gabriel like the young belgian prince. It was the name of my farther's brother who died as a child long before I was born.

[CrownPrinceLorenzo]

My middle name is Albert.

So the Prince Alberts of past and present. Also the King Alberts of Belgium. Heh, with Laurence and Albert, I should be bigger fans of the Belgian Royal Family.

[acdc1]

My name is Anne, so I share it with Queen Anne in the past, and Anne, Princess Royal in the future. My older brother is Thomas, and my younger brother is Christian, which are all royal names. However, none of us were named for royals. We were named for family (Anne is my mother and grandmother, Thomas is my uncle, and Christian is my great-grandfather.)

[Nichola]

My middle name is Clair.

I share mine with the Countess of Ulster, and Princess Claire of Belgium. I can't think of any others?
