In my head she is princess A-ree-ann-E. (Like you would pronounce it in Spanish)

In Spanish we pronounce it ARIANA, all the A are pronounced the same way, like in the english word CUT

great photo!, and yes, it's the first time we can see maxima leaving the hospital, with the eldest two girls she leaving in ambulance I think

[Vanesa]

Congrats for all Netehrlands Kingdom!

And now, the girl's name..."Ariane" seems a little odd to me. It's beatiful, but just odd...For I do not know such a name, nor in English, nor in Spanish. Yes, I know "Ariadne" an "Ariadna"...But "Ariane" and "Ariana"? I've never heard those...

it's actually not the same phoneme, it would be more like A as in CAT (animal), R, I as in (rEEf), A as CAT again, N, E as in EMMA.

i actually like their version, ariane, much more than ariadna, ariadne, ariana... it makes it look different.

[lilytornado]

the two " A" are indeed like the u in cut, but the "e" is like the "e" in best.

How pronounced the name of Ariane in dutch... and I want to know how pronounce Catharina-Amalia or Amalia and Alexia

Thanks

[morhange]

I think the older girls are Cah-tha-ree-na Ah-ma-lee-ah and Ah-leeks-ee-uh, and the new baby's name is pronounced Ah-ree-ahn

check out the video of the registration of Ariane, and you will hear WA repeat the name twice. (it's about in the middle of the video, after the man speaks)
