Gender, names & godparents for Princess Beatrice & Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi's second child

I'd never have guessed it in a million years ,its possibly a nod to the late Greek born Duke of Edinburgh or else just a trendy name!

It could be a trendy name. There is Athena, Countess of Monpezat and Lady Kitty Spencer's daughter is also called Athena.

Lovely name! Surprised that she got one more middle name than her siblings.

Lovely name! Surprised that she got one more middle name than her siblings.

Of which the first is exactly the same, as Elizabeth is also Sienna's middle name.

Miss Athena has the same first name as Countess Athena of Monpezat.

I heard Athena on the news earlier today, but no middle names. I was sure at that point that Margaret would be in there as a nod to Sarah but also Princess Margaret, as I thought the names went well together.

I was also surprised that she has an extra middle name, assuming that if they were going to have siblings with a different number, they’d have done it with Sienna (as two middle names are probably more common within the RF and perhaps Wolfie’s mother preferred to stick to just one.)

Using the same name twice between siblings isn’t something I’m a fan of. Sienna now doesn’t have a middle name of her own (I know she shared it with a few second cousins, first cousins once removed and her mother also, but still.) I’d have left the Elizabeth out, as Athena Rose goes very nicely by itself and then the older sister would have honoured the late Queen and the younger sister the late Queen’s younger sister.

Glad all is well though - early Spring was reported so presumably she was due in March.

One of George's middle names is Louis. It's fine and whatever they want.

Also it's after her mother too. One of Beatrice's names is Elizabeth. Most of the girls have Elizabeth but usually just the one in each family. So I think six of the eight do. Only Savannah and Mia don't. In fact of all the royal woman only those two and Eugenie don't. It's a very common name for the family for many reasons.

Maybe Lady Louise Windsor will be her godmother?
She was also born prematurely

I wish Prince George was one of her godparents!

I wish Prince George was one of her godparents!

George is still too young.

And not confirmed.
