I lilke Claus-Maximilian it sounds good and Maxima's name is kind of represented in there which is only fair after Alexia was sort of named after W-A.
This will be fun once the baby is born to see if it's name was suggested in this thread.

You're right Aurora810, he's a Count and not a Prince.
And yes, once he or she is born, we will all be going through our previous posts to see whether we were right or not, and then quote ourselves to claim... "I was right!"

Well, Maximilan would be okay.. but MAXIMO?  To my european ears this name sounds funny and not serious at all.
Especially for a Dutch Prince.... I think they have to take a name that sounds ok in Europe, too.
I agree that it is Maxima's turn now.. but they should take a spanish name that exists in the Netherlands, too...

Indeed princess_Beatrix, it sounds like the name of a circus to my European ears. But these days the weirdest names are given to children by their parents, also in The Netherlands. Compared to some of those 'Maximo' isn't to horrid.

Wonderful suggestions thus far! I did some family research (Family names are always the best) and I like these:
Princess Beatrix Eloise Margriet
Prince Ernst Aschwine Friedrich

When CP Maxima and CP Wilhelm-Alexander are going to finde a name for their new member of their family i have som names for them:
Girl: Trixi Louise Sofia Margrethe Christina
Trixi is after her grandmother the Queen, Louise was one of late Queen Ingrid of Denmark names, Sofia is after the Queen in Spain, Magrethe is from Queen Margrethe of Denmark and Christina is also from Spain 
Boy: Benjamin Claus Frederik Alexander Willem
Benjamin just because i like it and because it is on of the names in Princess Alexandras of Berleburgs husbands names, Claus is from his grandfarther, Frederik is after CP Frederik of Denmark and Alexander-Willem is from his dad just in another direction.

why do you think they will choose danish names? i would find it quite odd if they started to use nemes from the danish royal family instead of the dutch royal family.
I cant wait to see the little baby

There were a lots of Frederiks in the Orange-Nassaus (Frederik-Hendrik Prince of Orange, King Willem I Frederik of the Netherlands, Prince Frederik (father of Queen Lovisa of Sweden) etc.)
Henri(k) of course is a very frequent name as Hendrik.
There also is a Christian at the moment: Johan Friso Christiaan Bernhard David Prince of Orange-Nassau (the Queen's second son).
Margrethe comes back in Princess Margriet which is exactly the same name.
Marie/Mary has been worn by many Orange ladies
Even Benedikte is used for the third child of Marilène, in the French way: Bénédicte.

Everyone has such great ideas. I think we're going to be really suprised by the name, if its a girl. If its a boy, I think it will be a very traditional Dutch royal family name.

I just thought about Sophia, as they seem to like the "ia" names. But it is probably impossible to guess, although I thought about Alexandra before Alexia's birth (though never Alexia ).

Sophia's a great one. I supposed many -ia's would do, there's Saskia, a typical archaic Dutch name, very nice in my opinion. As long as they don't choose "Alicia"! I mean, poor Beatrix, first Alexia, than Alicia? Hope not!

Yes as some others have said also, they'll probably surprise us.
