I'll put a $20 on twin boys.. or has that ship sailed now?
I think I will be very sursprised if the babies are not boys

Would they be allowed to throw in a Non-catholic royal as a godparent?
Maxima is not Catholic as she converted when she married Willem did she not?
Edit: Just read that apparently she did not convert.
I always think that one of the twins may have Queen Maxima as godmother and may have the name Maxime or Maxima among his or her names.
Charlene also said she appreciates Sophie of Wessex, she also may be a godmother even she is not catholic, she can be godmother as Princess Victoria of Sweden was godmother of Princess Eleonor of Belgium.
She did say she appreciated Sophie once, so that is why I was wondering if a non Catholic could be a Godparent as Sophie isn't. If Maxima is close then I can see her being a godparent, particularly as she is a Queen. Sophie could be one of the godparents to the second twin as that twin wont necassrily "need" high up royal godparents.
For a boy, I'm still liking Florestan, and also like the combination Florestan Albert Charles Louis. I may have said it before, but there are some beautiful names amongst the historical Monegasque royals.
I like the idea of Queen Maxima as a godparent - I've read that she and Charlene are indeed quite close and that Maxima calls Charlene and gives her advice, though I'm not sure where I read that.

I just recently read that Florestan I's actual first name was Tancrède.
In Mad for Monaco, an article about H.S.H. Florestan I states:
The future Prince Florestan I, eighth sovereign Prince of Monaco, was born in Paris on October 10, 1785, as Tancrede Florestan Roger Louis Grimaldi.
Gosh, that's a bit of a mouthful! I think we can safely say that we won't be seeing a Prince Tancrède. I'm usually good at guessing the pronunciation of names, but am unsure as to how I would go about pronouncing this one.
I think that a part Maxima or Sophie other royals are ruled out qas godparents... I'm very doubtuful about any godparent from the spanish monarchy... Maybe because I don't see any connection od partly because any of them attended the wedding... I think Princess Caroline should be one of the godparents for the heir though
I was thinking about a Catholic Royal and remembered that the late Queen Victoria Eugenia of Spain was the godmother of The Prince of Monaco, so I saw The King of Spain as a potential godparent. And Prince Albert nomited The Crown Prince of Norway to the Ice Bucket Challenge, so I suppose they're good friends.
I see The Princess of Hanover as more fitting to be a godmother of the second baby, as she has experience on being heir presumptive and can giver her nephew or niece some advice on being the spare.
Do you think they will choose only catholics godparents?
I have a feeling they will choose two names that they like and not of a Grimaldi ancester.
Althought I really like Alice for a girl and it's pronounced the same way in English and French, which I think is important when you're raised in a bilingual family.
