I'm just going to come right out and say it....for some reason I really like the name Gwyneth.
Michael is English, Mikael would be the scandinavian version, and there is not much royal precdence other than in Russia/Byzantium.
Really? I don't think so
Princess Gwyneth of Denmark?...I like the idea and I would love to see something like that happen, but let's be honest, the name is Welsh and associated with a Hollywood celeb...it just ain't gunna happen
Michael is very much a Danish name and very common. It's just pronounced like Mikael.
I love Frederika (several different spellings)
I didn't say it wasn't a common Danish name, I said it wasn't a royal Danish name. There may be a lot of Sally's in England, that doesn't mean William and Kate would have a Princess Sally. What is popular and common among the commoners, doesn't make it a likely choice for a royal name.
Just to make clear
The female version of Frederik is not Friedrika/Friederika/ or any other way of spelling, it´s Frederikke
Yes FasterB, we will never ever spell it the other way in the times to come. Frederikke.
I stick to Norah for the little girl.
Maybe Angus Donald Valdemar Christian for the little prince.
Thank youYes FasterB, we will never ever spell it the other way in the times to come. Frederikke.
Lovely name.Just to make clear

I don't understand why anyone wants Valdemar Christian, can't the poor baby have his own name? Its not like there is only 6 names in the Danish tongue. His brother is Christian Valdemar, lets just switch them up? If anything Friederick. And Prince Angus of Denmark?????
What you don't understand is that people in here are making "suggestions" right? You better propose some interesting ones instead of asking WHY do I feel Angus with 5 question marks. In my book it seems quite rude.
I have suggested numerous names. And if you are going to throw out something as way out there as Angus, how do you expect people to react? I'm sorry, but as much as some people want them to come up with some original name, like Savanah Philips, these kids are 4/5 in line for the throne, children of the heir. Some random Scottish name, with no connection either to the royal family, or the couple, just seems odd. And if you're going to think it rude when someone questions a weird choice, maybe you shouldn't post. People respond to other people's suggestions, that's what they do on this board last I looked.
By the way the question marks were for an explanation. Maybe you have some amazing reason for choosing Angus, and it may make me like the name. Or perhaps you just chose a random name from a baby book.
As I have said countless times, making a number of suggestions you can see on earlier pages, I see them choosing from the tree again, but names not used by royal babies in the same generation.
I originally liked Mathilda or Adelaide- which are links to Mary, she is Australian not Scottish, even if her family is originally from Scotland
but I have been leaning more towards Anna as of late or even Astrid
Boys were always Eric, or earlier Johan

Frederikke sounds too male for me.
I guess that Frederikke must sound a bit like the french "Frédérique" which is an exquisite female name in french. BTW so much feminine that the boys prefer to be called just Fred most of the time, while their female counterparts proudly bear their whole names.
It's funny you should mention it, Katelle.
The French and feminine Frederique is pronounced in Danish pretty much like Frederik, except that the French ending is softer. It's certainly closer in pronounciation than the English Frederick.
If I am to describe how Frederikke sounds it would in English be something like: Fre - the - rig (as in rigging) - eh.
Frederik is simply pronounced: fre - the - rig.
Frederique shouldn't be impossible. Are there any Frederique's in PH's family line?
while pondering possible names for the Crown Prince couple's twins I found Prince Henrik's family tree.
Ancestry of Henri de Laborde de Monpezat
First of all, I don't have any problem with the fact that people like or do not like my name suggestions, I don't have any problem with people discussing about them either. My point is that there is without any doubt another way to ask for further explanation which is more civilised than plain rudeness.
Have you read what you just said? Who are you to decide even you wrote it "countless of times" the rules of how/what one should choose the babies names? "Tree", "random" etc... what's wrong with names that one do simply like?
None of the members of this thread has ever asked me for some explanation with just a succession of question marks which is the written form of yelling. You pretend not to have any clue about why I "throw Angus out" for example, yet you understood that I was referring at Mary's, thus her children' scottish heritage. Mary being australian doesn't mean nobody has the right to hint at her roots.
And even then, would it have no connection with anything royal but just a name I like what's wrong with that?
As I joined this forum a way before you did, I have seen lots of name suggestions. I really like some of them, I found some ugly, boring, but it's others choice and I respect that. It's ludicrous, over the top, to be aggressive about names of babies who are not even yours - about names that their parents might even think about. Nobody posts anything to please you personally, you like it fine, you don't just pass by. As far as I'm concerned I better not pay attention to people your kind.
