DOCHTER VOOR PRINS CONSTANTIJN EN PRINSES LAURENTIEN

De Rijksvoorlichtingsdienst deelt mede:

Hare Koninklijke Hoogheid Prinses Laurentien heeft op 3 juni 2006 om
17.06 in het Bronovo Ziekenhuis te Den Haag het leven geschonken aan een
dochter. De baby woog bij de geboorte 3030 gram en is 48 cm lang.
'Het is een schitterende baby', aldus de dolgelukkige ouders.

Het zesde kleinkind van de Koningin krijgt de roepnaam Leonore. De
volledige naam luidt Leonore Marie Irene Enrica Gravin van Oranje-Nassau,
Jonkvrouw van Amsberg.
Leonore is, na Eloise Sophie Beatrix Laurence Gravin van Oranje-Nassau,
Jonkvrouw van Amsberg en Claus-Casimir Bernhard Marius Max Graaf van
Oranje-Nassau, Jonkheer van Amsberg, het derde kind van Prins Constantijn
en Prinses Laurentien. Prins Constantijn en Prinses Laurentien hebben te kennen gegeven
eventuele giften ter gelegenheid van de geboorte van hun dochter te
willen schenken aan Stichting Kico in Veldhoven (www.kico.nl). De Prins
en Prinses hebben voor deze Stichting gekozen, omdat deze zich inzet voor
achtergestelde kinderen tussen de zes en vijftien jaar, die leven in een
sociaal isolement of ouders hebben die niet beschikken over voldoende
financiële middelen. Stichting Kico organiseert voor deze kinderen, die
zaken missen die voor anderen zo gewoon zijn, onder andere speciale
opvangweekenden en vakanties.
 
Congratulations!

A nice name by the way
 
Congrats to Constantijn, Laurentien, Eloise, Claus-Casimir and the rest of their families!
 
WOW Amazing!
Congratulations!
Another Orange Daughter! a very nice name: Leonore.
 
Congrats to the family! How nice, a sister for Eloise to play with. Must admit, I'm not particularly fond of the names.

I like the name, it's better and more 'Dutch'-sounding than i.e. Alexia, (Alexia's a beautiful name, but one that in my opinion would be a better fit for an eastern european exotic dancer rather than a Dutch princess--apologies if I offend anyone, don't mean to.)

Too bad also they didn't pick an ultra Dutch name such as Nienke or Sietske for example. Would be nice and traditional..

Leonore is a good pick, but it seems a bit copy-cat-ish because the princes of Asturias's first daughter has the exact same name, bar one letter!
 
Congrats to the Couple :):) A long and Happy life to the baby!!!!!!!
 
Congratulations to the parents:) That was a really beautiful name:):)
 
Congratulations to the parents and family!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to Laurentien, Constantijn, Eloise and Clausimir! :)
 
Congratulations to the parents and the family. She has a really beautiful name :)

Congratulations to the parents, the Royal Family and the country of The Netherlands! Wonderful news!

How is Leonore pronounced in Dutch, does anyone know? It might become a bit confusing at times in the future, with two royal children named Leonor(e), but the name is certainly a nice and different (in Scandinavia measures, that is) one.
 
You pronounce Leonore as Leeh-ow-Noh-re (of something like that, it's very hard to explain)
 
Congratulations to the parents! :D
By The Way I love the name :)
 
Congrats to the whole Orange family! I personally really like the names they chose.

Royalsa explained it quite well, the two o's in the name get a really Dutch sound, like in the word 'oh', but more open and longer.
So it's something like Lay-Oooh-Noooh-ru. At least that is how I pronounce it... :D

Oh, btw. The 'ooo' is not pronounced like in 'school'. It really is a very long version of the 'o' in 'no'. That silly Dutch Language!
