Thanks for the pics, princess Beatrix!
I love the first picture of the Queen and W-A (I guess it is in Lech?) Willem-Alexander had the exact same expression on his face as Amalia had during her first photoshoot in Lech. So cute! :)

Dutch Kinds are extremely cute!
And just have a look: They all look similar.  They have the Oranje-Genes.

Here a clip of WA and his brothers making a drawing for their grand mother, queen Juliana. They also visit her later, and admire the Bourbon Parma twins:

Willem and Maurits (not Maurice, that's only an anglicized version of this name) for sure. Frederik (without c) is also often used. Filips Willem was the name of Willem the Silent's oldest son (but not that often repeated). Other male names that were often used are Lodewijk and Hendrik.
But Raymond? Which princes are you referring to? It is not a common Dutch royal name at all as far as I am aware. Nowadays it would definitely not be used by the upper class.

There were 3 Raymonds from 1282 to 1393
Remember the Principality of Orange originated in southern France and not the Netherlands.

Hopefully some of the historical names will be reused by the next generation as opposed to modern ones!
