I believe this is a case of 'lost in translation'. At least in Finland, all the first names your parents give you, are given names. You can choose what name of those given names you choose for people to call you but the order of the names doesn't change. For example, if a girl's name is Sofia Ulla Helena and she wishes to use Helena as the name people call her, she can do that. In official forms, she can indicate which name she uses by underlining it etc. The order of her names does not change, she will remain Sofia Ulla Helena and not become Helena Sofia Ulla.
So is he Daniel Olof or Olof Daniel?

I'm a little bit suprised for the news. I've read once that she didn't feel pressured for getting married but, anyway, I'm really happy for them, and many many congratulation!!!!!
I'm looking forward the wedding!!! I'm sure it will be the royal event of the lasts years!!!

I wonder if the ring will consist of gemstones that are yellow and blue? It feels a bit funny but would it then contain blue sapphires and yellow sapphires? Of course there are several other colored stones too that could be used; spinels, tanzanites, tourmalines to name a few.

I agree. I think Olof sounds very fitting, especially for a prins och hertig av Sverige.

I wonder if the rush to Swedish web pages because of the engagement is causing our connections to run really slow. Most (if not all) of our web traffic goes through Sweden.
Has anyone managed to get to the court's web pages yet?

How entirely...interesting, for use of a better word.
I confess it's quite unorthodox in english speaking countries, to place (in an official capacity) one's middle name before one's given name, so forgive my ignorance.

Yes, I too would be most interested to have it clarified.
