Why not Frederik? Doesn't break the tradition and is NOT Christian as almost everyone seems to want the name other then Christian.

Way too German sounding for a Danish prince!

BTW, why do so many people think that royal babies need a dozen names, when 4 is quite enough?! :)

I think traditionally babies have been named after their godparents although most parents dont' follow that tradition any more. Royals, having more of about everything else than commoners, also traditionally have more godparents.

I had a dream last night that I somehow met Mary and that she let slip that they were calling him Brian...then the funny part was she said oh, now you´ll probably tell everyone and of course I said I wouldn´t....lol...can´t wait to see if my dream comes true but unlikely name I think.....I hope they stick with tradition and call him Christian...have a feeling they won´t but that it will be included as one of his names.

What royal babies have had more than 4-5 names? Of course there are some exceptions, but generally babies only have 4-5 names. The amount of godparents really doesn't matter because not many royal babies are named after all of their godparents, regardless of how many of them there are.

I know Alexia has her aunt Laurentien's name as one of her middle names, but Ingrid-Alexandra doesn't have any of her godparents names, to the best of my knowledge.

I was wrong, alot of Italian Royals have 9-10 names!

Call me old-fashioned but I don't think they're gonna go with something other than Christian as the baby's first name.
I personally like Christian Erik Valdemar Henrik.

They should defintely go with Christian. All those years of tradition, down the drain? I hope not! Plus it is a lovely name. Oh, Erik would be nice too (there have been 7 Kings of Denmark with that name) so it has more tradition than...Brian. LOL. But I think if they were going to break with tradition it should be with a name that is signifcant to them. (For example if the child were a girl and they wanted to break with tradition of naming her Margarethe, I think it would only be appropiate if the name was Henrietta for Mary's mother). But I don't think I'd respect the decision to break with tradition if it was with any old name.

But the couple seems to be traditional (so far nothing has indicated to me that they aren't) so I think they will go with Christian.

My guess would be Christian Valdemar Hans Henrik. At least I would choose Christian as a first name. Christian is a beautiful name plus its the tradition.

I'll bet that if M and F have a daughter they'll name her Ingrid after F's the grandmother who Fred loved so much.

I know Norway also has an Ingrid but then one of King Carl Gustav's sisters is also named Margarethe so I don't think the scandinavians really mind 'sharing' names.
