Congratulations to Martha Louise and Ari Behn. Two daughters, that's just wonderful and may God bless them.
I have to hand it to the couple, they pick the best names. I loved Maud Angelica and now I absolutely love Leah Isadora, especially Isadora. Wonderful choice by the couple.:)

Dronning Sonja strålte og var tydelig fornøyd over at hun for tredje gang var blitt bestemor, da hun fredag ankom Bloksberg på Hankø for å besøke prinsesse Märtha Louise og Ari Behn.

The Midwife that assisted during the birth, Åse Gretten Mørch, she said it was a totally natural birth, she also said that Ari was a great support and that he got a totally different role than he would have in a hospital where she says the man often feels like a guest. Mørch has during her 14 years assisted in 300 home births

Leah Isadora. what a beautiful name. I wonder if the princess and her husband picked the name Leah for its biblical meaning, or just because they liked it.

Isadora is a character in Ari Behn's first book, I've been told. So he certainly must like the name.
Really? Is anyone here who read it?

Wow, I'm impressed, hello magazine actually had their facts right for once. Usually they mix up the scandinavian royals.
yes, they do don't they, well thankfully they got it right this time...it's always a bit frustrating to see errors like the ones Hello usually makes...anyway, I simply love Leah Isadora, not only is her name beautiful (and unique) but she's such an adorable child.
Leah Isadora. What a beautiful name, I've always liked the name Leah, but was never really crazy about Isadora as a name on its own. However, Leah Isadora put together sounds absolutely magnificent.
