Just heard the you tube of the king pronouncing the name and he says “aahd-rienne” not ay-drin a la rocky
According to Swedish publication Svenskdam, there's a story behind the name Adrienne. Madeleine's mother, Queen Silvia, has loved the name for years, and even considered it for her own daughter, Madeleine in 1982.
In Portugal is Adriana, and I know several Adriana, two of them being my friends. It's a common name, but its the first time I hear it as a princess name, I always thought of Adriana/Adrienne as a commoner's name and not royal, so it's a brief of fresh air. The first "A" of the name is pronounced with a strong "A" as opposed to the english variant of "ay". I like the swedish version way better.
Adrienne's christening will be on Friday 8th June.
