Oh, that would be great!

The name grows on me. I would have prefered Eleanor but I'm not sure if that's very Spanish (I really don't know).

Also, thanks for clearing up my confusion about the website thing. I've never heard of it before and I misunderstood. I thought the government was trying to stop ALL websites that would be created with her name. Silly me! :)

That's unusual... Maybe they would be trying to avoid the press conference when mother and daughter leave the clinic?

Alexandra · #**431** 10-31-2005, 03:13 PM

Leonor! Is there any royal with that name? I really don't like the name. No! But perhaps the little princess will have additionally some more names, nicer I hope. Sophia. Maria, etc... And even Eleonor or Eleanora would have been better. Much better! No offences, just my idea...

TVE showed a report about the name of the Infanta Leonor. They refered to Queen Leonor of Aragon, the mother of King Enrique of Castille, known as El Doliente, who inspired the book "El doncel de don Enrique el Doliente" by Mariano José de Larra (CP Letizia offered, as an engagement gift (the "literary jewel"), an original edition of this book). Enrique, el doliente was also the first Prince of Asturias.

They also refered to Leonor de Aquitania (Eleanor of Aquitaine), Queen of England and France.She was the mother of Queen Leonor of Castille (born Leonora of England), the wife of King Alfonso VIII. This Kings founded Cuenca Cathedral, which the Princes of Asturias visited during their honeymoon.

As you see, is an historical name in Spain :)

It's only rumours for now

But i belive, that even if the pics are published, a press conference will be held when both mother and daughter leave the clinic.

I quite like the name Leonor. I can't wait to see the new little Infanta Leonor. :)

Alexandra · #**435** 10-31-2005, 03:21 PM

How do you pronounce the name in Spanish? Just as it is written? There are on this site a few examples how it is pronounced, but propably it is the English way to pronounce:

Leon-air-ah
Lay-on-or

I don't understand those. Don't you just pronounce the name L-e-o-n-o-r?

Al_bina · #**436** 10-31-2005, 03:24 PM

Congratulations to the Royal couple!
