Daniel Frederik Alain
I doubt that it has something to do with Nikolai II. I remember that some time ago i saw a list of the most popular danish names for boys and Nikolai was there too, on a quite good place, cca 20th. If it`s true, then the name is used normally in this form in Denmark.I wonder if there was ever an explanation given why Prince Joachim and Princess Alexandra
chose a greek/russian name variant Nikolai instead of more english/scandinavian variant
Nicholas or Nikolaus etc.? Was it an homage to emperor Nikolai II, whose mother was Danish?
Why may I ask is Albert so umm unconsidered? Lack of Knowledge about what? Albert is a beautiful name. xAgain, I can't BELIEVE they have ALBERT as the most likely name. If they choose that, it's only because of lack of knowledge. :-DDaniel is nice. :-D
Does anyone know when they will announce the date for the christening?
(how long after the other babies births did they announce the christening dates?)
What do you think about Jan as first name?
I don't see Carina Axelsson: I think that she is closer to Mary. But possible Prince Gustav.
I would actually see them as godparents for a third child of Mary and Fredrick if they have one.
I think there will be Alain as one of the names, because it's the first name of Marie's father.Leonard ,Hippolyte, Johann,Auguste, Andrea...please no Alain
I can't answer on behalf of SarahMaria, but I too find it unlikly to name the Prince - Albert. In Denmark it is an old-fashioned name in the bad way. Whereas other old-fashioned names is fashionable again - Albert isn't.
With the English pronunciation I like the name Albert - but not with the Danish pronunciation. Then it simply sounds outdated.

Prince Albert is the name for an intimate piercing. :-D
