Name & Godparent Suggestions for the Twins

[Archduchess Zelia]

I like the name Marina for the girl.
For the girl's middle names, I think it'll be something like: Anne/a, Sofie/a, Patricia, Augusta, Josephine, Jacqueline, Astrid, Dagmar, Victoria or Caroline.

I have a feeling that André (or Andreas) will be somewhere in the boys name.
I also have my hopes up for Michael & William.

I still think they will try and stay away, at least first names, from those used by royal babies in this generation. So Sofia/Leonor/Ingrid/Elisabeth and so on. I could be wrong, but there are enough royal names out there, and while I could see them as a middle name, not as a first. Alexander as well.

I like Astrid/Anna (Astrid is more Sweedish, Anna may be more Danish and more modern)

Anna Mathilde Friedrike Patricia
or
Astrid Mathilde Mary Patricia (the more formal traditional, using mother not father's name)

and for the boy

Eric Andre Peter Marius (substitue Friedrick for Marius if Mary is used for girl and Friedrike)

Isabella is the spanish form of Elizabeth I think, Andre would be nice.

Really? I don't think so

[Rebafan81]

I still like Annika for the little Princess and Michael for the little Prince, I just have a feeling that they will surprise us with their choice. I don't think they will be as modern as W-A and Maxima or as old fashion as Felipe and Letizia.
I just hope they keep the tradition of modern/fashionable first name and historical other names. Wonder if they have decided yet?

Isabella is definitely the spanish form of Elizabeth. That is why there is a question of the proper name of the Isabella for whom Princess Isabella is named for in the Danish royal tree. She was a Spanish princess so Isabella would be proper, but was called Elizabeth in other tongues. It is like Leonor and Eleanor and so on.

Keep the tradition of fashionable modern names? Christian and Isabella may be popular but neither are modern names, Christian is very traditional for Denmark, and there are at least two Isabellas in the Danish royal tree. Michael is English, Mikael would be the scandinavian version, and there is not much royal precdence other than in Russia/Byzantium. Anneke is a pet name for Anna, Anna would be far more likely.

I am confused at one moment you don't think they will be modern like WA and Maxima, but not traditional like Letizia, so what would you like them to be? what is the alternative? Other than Arianna, WA and Maxima were traditional with Catharina-Amalia. And Alexia would be the same as naming a girl Anneke, as Alexia is a nickname for Alexandra, as much as Anneke is for Anna.

[AnnaNotherThing]

I love the idea of Anneke/Annika but they won't use Michael because Mary has a nephew, Michael Woods (Patricia's son) with the name...Same with Alexander (Stephens) Mary wouldn't double up on immediate family names, what's the point when there are plenty of other names out there...

[Tyger]

So much fun, the naming of the twins. Can't wait for the christening to find out. Not that long away.

A lot happening in April. A Royal Christening (Denmark) and a Royal Marriage (England).

[T4phage]

I'm just going to come right out and say it....for some reason I really like the name Gwyneth.

[AnnaNotherThing]

Princess Gwyneth of Denmark?...I like the idea and I would love to see something like that happen, but let's be honest, the name is Welsh and associated with a Hollywood celeb...it just ain't gunna happen

Michael is very much a Danish name and very common. It's just pronounced like Mikael.

[lyndaW]

I love Frederika (several different spellings)

Something new and fresh would be nice, no name that any other royal child has perhaps.

You never know :P But I doubt it also. It was merely a contribution to the list of names.

I didn't say it wasn't a common Danish name, I said it wasn't a royal Danish name. There may be a lot of Sally's in England, that doesn't mean William and Kate would have a Princess Sally. What is popular and common among the commoners, doesn't make it a likely choice for a royal name.

[T4phage]

I have a question tho....if a name is associated with a celebrity how in the world does that mean it will be excluded from possible names that the CP couple may give their children?

I really don't see the logic in that....they will pick whatever name they like no matter what Hollywood celebrity has it.

[palomasie]

I love the name Alexandra! It's classic and beautiful at the same time.
