According to an updated version of the French Voici article the boy's name is Balthazar.
Hopefully we'll get an official communiqué of the proud grandmothers soon

Jean-Pierre Rassam is Dimitri's late father. "Jean" and "Pierre" are also Grimaldi names.
I am hoping that he will be called "Charles" which is not only a Princely Grimaldi
name, but a derivative of both Caroline and Carole.
Also "Julien" is nice and is the name of one of Dimitri's cousins who died young.
ETA: Several posters have wondered if Charlotte and Dimitri knew each other as children. According to the article below, they have known one another for years and had a "remote friendship" before being re-introduced by friends in Paris in December 2016.

If true; congratulations to the family! It would be nice if the baby's name was Balthazar, it's a lovely underused name that goes well with Raphael.

Hmmm....not sure about "Balthazar"...is it part of the Grimaldi, Casiraghi, or Rassam family tree?
One thing I can safely tell you about the little one, sight unseen...I am certain he has a GREAT head of hair if he takes anything like mummy and papa!

Also, I have seen from private social media accounts that Dimitri is also in the circle of Andrea & Pierre (particularly when it comes to flying)
In fact, in 2015, during the gala dinner for Fondation Motrice hosted by Andrea & Tatiana, the theme was The Little Prince, in tribute to the movie Dimitri produced as he was named a "genereux donateur" for that event. This was reported in Point de Vue

Is it required that you name your child with a name from your family tree?

In Royal and aristocratic families that's usually how it's done...Albert and Caroline stuck with Grimaldi names...and even Stephanie gave her first born son the name "Louis".
Andrea was named after a friend of his late father but his middle name is the Grimaldi "Albert"...both his sons have Grimaldi names as do Pierre's.
Charlotte Pomeline is from the family tree and her eldest son Raphael too...Princess Alexandra has a Royal Hanover name.
As for little Balthazar...if that is his name- Voici Paris is reporting that he weighed 7 lbs 2 ounces and was delivered by Caesarean section.
But no other media outlet is confirming a Caesarean delivery and frankly I don't believe it.

Lovely news. I had a hunch it would be a boy. And Caroline gets three grandsons in six months!
Interesting news about a possible c-section. I don't recall if Raphael was one. If he was then they probably don't have a large brood in their future.

Wish to happy parents and siblings of the new born plenty of happiness and health.
As for the name Balthazar it is a Bible name, one of the 3 wisdom men who wisited the new born Christ. It sounds old and personally I don't like

I hadn’t heard of a previous Gabriella or Raphael in the Grimaldi family tree. Who were they?
Happy news for Charlotte and co!

Ooohhh… I love, love Balthazar. I doubt they'd use it, but that would be so lovely.

What's bad in being born via C-section? Sometimes it's necessary to save mother's or baby's life (or both); if an obsterician stated that it was necessary he/she did it.
If it has passed two years since Caesarean, next child could be born naturally (Queen Mathilde of Belgium had Elisabeth via the operation - because she was wrapped by the umbilical cord - and subsequent children naturally).
As for Biblical Magi - the Gospel does not mention even their number, let alone names.
