Hey Michaella, Françoise is a girl's name so I think perhaps François would be a better choice for a little prince.

[Royal Fan]

and Alain is a boys name how do you pronounce Benedikte

[Michaella]

i'm sorry . i made a mistake.

[eireann]

I think they will choose something that is recognisable in both languages, so something like Charlotte, Caroline or Louise for a girl...don't know for a boy though.

[Mahato]

Girl: Louise Marguerite Françoise Marie
Boy: André Alain Henri Frederik

[Marchesina]

Agathe is really a beautiful name, but I think probably it would be only a middle name if the baby will be a girl, because is also one of her mother's name.So, my choise for a girl is:
Kirsten(I red somewhere it's a very popular name in Denmark),Agathe,Hanne,Marie(also afte her mother)or Mary(after her aunt).
For a boy:Erik,André,Christian,François
Personally I think it will be a baby girl!

I also like the name Agathe for a girl--it's very classic. Fred and Mary's daughter's name is "Isabella Henrietta Ingrid Margrethe " so those are probably safely out of the running.
Joachim's aunts are Princess Benedikte Astrid Ingeborg, Queen Anne-Marie Dagmar Ingrid of Greece.
Prince Henrik's mother's name was Renee and no one has choosen her name for a daughter yet.
So, I'm thinking this set of names in no particular order:
Agathe (bride's side of the family)
Ingrid (because all the females seem to have that in their name somewhere)
Benedikte or Astrid
and something the couple chooses themselves, I personally like Mathilde.

For a boy:
Joachim's children names:
Nicoli William Alexander Frederik
Felix Henrik Valdemar Christian

Frederik's son:
Christian Valdemar Henri John

So, if we don't allow for overlap, I think that these names are in the running:
Alain (bride's father)
Joachim (his name hasn't come up anywhere yet)
Gustaf (from his grandfather)
Georg (from his grandfather)

[magnik]

Girl
Agatha like A. Christie
Amelia variant of Amalia
Anastasia
Augusta
Claudia
Camille or Camilla
Carolina
Charlotte Louise

Boy
Caspian
Emanuel
Emil
Flemming
Kasper
Kristopher or Kristoffer
Olav
Vilhelm

[MissSaga]

So France and Denmark have Lucas, Sarah, Clara, Emma in common :)

For a girl;
Sophie
Louise
Emma
Clara
Sarah
Laura
+ the middlenames that I think will be: Marie Magrethe Francoise

For a boy:
Lucas
Alexandre
Victor
+ the middlenames that I think will be: Joachim Alain

Kirsten is not popular now, it was popular 40-50 years ago. :-D

I'm Italian and I read it in an Italian site about baby names in the world, so I'm sorry for my mistake.

[SarahMaria]

It's okay. The article probably ment the number of women with the name in Denmark. Jens, for example, is not on the top 50 list now, but it is the most common name for men in Denmark. :-D

[Sister Morphine]

If it's a girl:

Amalie Charlotte Ingrid Dagmar

If it's a boy:

Alexander Henri Christian Charles

I agree... Helene, Amalie, Josephine or Sofie would also be nice... also Désirée (French but also royal connection)
I can't think of anything for a boy right now either.

[Rossina]

Emma Laura Clara louise
Alexandre Frederik

[Aurora810]

I didn't realize that neither of Joachim's sons carry his name. I think it is a safe bet then that this child if a boy may get Joachim as one of it's names. I kind of think the name will be different. Not necessarily royal sounding. Just like in Holland with Ariane. It works as a princess name but it's not a long standing traditional royal name. I also don't think it's going to favor the Danish side. I think there is more likely to be compromise between the two sides.

[carlota]

i think it will be something traditionally danish for the first name. the second names will definitely take the form of their close family: margrethe, ingrid, francoise, alain...
