Regnal names in the Dutch royal family

[casualfan]

When Amalia becomes Queen, what name will she use? Catharina or Amalia?

[Fanvanmaxima]

Queen Catharina-Amalia

[olebabs]

Well her name is Catharina-Amalia with a hyphon, so why not use that. It sounds very regal tom me :-)

[MagMil]

I think that it's gonna be her choice, she have 5 names
Catharina-Amalia Beatrix Carmen Victoria
But I think that would be Queen Catharina or Queen Catharina-Amalia , like her father, would have been King Willem

When I was little, the only time my full name was used, was when I misbehaved Try to imagine Maxima yelling through the garden: CATHARINA-AMALIA BATRIX CARMEN VICTORIA, COME HERE AT ONCE. Then she knows for sure that she is in trouble

Yup it's fanny :)
But she have 5 names and they(her parents) decided to use only Amalia, for the ordinary / everyday use

[Grandduchess24]

She can choose from one of her other names? Or shell go by Queen Catharina,Queen Amalia,Queen Catherina Amelia.

[kathia_sophia]

she will highly be like her father, Wilhem-Alexander was once asked what name he will be called when becoming king, he said he'll be King Wilhem (+number). so Queen Catharina is a very possible thing, but she can choose Queen Catharina-Amalia when shes grown-up!

[Daria_S]

All of her names are very regal-sounding, so she's safe with using any of them. However, I'm hoping she'll go with Carmen, since I've never heard of a monarch by that name .

[principessa]

I think she will be known as Queen Amalia.

As principessa said, she will be the Princess of Orange - the first one to hold the title in her own right.

[Archduchess Zelia]

If she's only to go by one of her names, I think it'll be Amalia. But since her father has chosen to go by his full name, Willem-Alexander, I think it's very likely that she'll be Queen Catharina-Amalia.

[lucien]

Indeed!

[DukeOfAster]

Both names for sure!

[kathia_sophia]

i believe she will be Queen Catharina-Amalia as well!

and how nice she'll be HRH The Princess of Orange from April 30th onwards according to the official website and not at age 18 like some users said.

Catharina-Amalia is such a queenly name, Amalia is more average IMO, so I hope she´ll opte for the first one. It´s akward to think that she´s to be Princess of Oranje and heir apparent soon, but so exciting at the same time

[GracieGiraffe]

Who knows what name she will chose. W-A has always been known as "W-A" but it's the opposite with Amalia - at times I forget she's "Catharina-Amalia."

I have a question - while she has five names, can she choose something separate and apart from her given names as her regnal name? Juliana or Wilhemina, for example?

[Mariel]

I would guess that for official proclamations she will be C-A, but for less formal and family matters simply A. Most news reports will refer to her as Amalia, formal announcements C-A. C-A is too formal for everyday conversations.
