They had said they would name thwir baby Pelayo (boy) or Covadonga (girl), but that was befre there wedding so maybe they changed their minds, never know...
I guess that thre are no words to tell how happy I am right now. Happy that Letizia will be able to get rid of all of that abnormal pressure to produce an heir.
How thoughtful to announce it on Mother's day!
Congratulations to Letizia and Felipe (they said at their engagement interview that they wanted more than 2 and less than 5... so, this is only the beginning folks!)

Anyway-I'm happy for the couple, what an exciting time!
