Giancarlo in English, I believe, is JohnCharles. John was Grace's brother, nicknamed Jack. Maybe her father too, I forget if that is so. Giancarlo is a very nice sounding name.
It's funny: Giancarlo must sound nice in English (when it's probably pronounced with a very sweet "G" instead of a "J" sounds as it should be), but in Italian, Giancarlo is nothing special as a name! Certainly, it's not "regal" sounding! I would exclude it.
About the succession. I thought that illegitimate children were excluded from the line of succession (a decision made to prevent Albert's two illegitimate children to claim the throne), so I think that's the case also with Andrea and Tatiana's son. The baby would not be added to the line of succession until the couple marries. So I wonder if they made a very conscious decision not to marry before his birth so as to give themselves more privacy (less "royal" burden) and in the hope that Albert and Charlene would conceive a baby in the meantime (therefore changing the line of succession).
