Names and Godparents for Alexandra and Nicolas' firstborn child

[Biri]

Now with the happy announcement, we may start to speculate!

 

[Blog Real]

Name for girl: Charlotte
Name for boy: Jean

Godparents: Prince Sébastien and and a female cousin of Nicolas.

Will Alexandra's son have the title of Prince or Princess?

Name for girl: Charlotte, Henriette (in honour of Grand Duke Henri) or Joséphine
Name for boy: Jean or Adolphe

Godparents: a female relative of Nicolas (I don't know if Nicolas have a sister) and Princes Félix, Louis or Sébastien

 

[Biri]

Definitely not, giving the fact that his/her father is untitled.

The baby will be just Mr/Miss (given name) Bagory.


Girl: Caroline Mathilde.
Boy: André Nicolas.

Godparents: Prince Louis and a female cousin of Nicolas.

 

[principessa]

Girl: Nicolette Marie Alexandra Teresa
Boy: Alexandre Marie Nicolas Henri

Godparents: Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Thibaut Bagory.

 

[Lady Chiara]

Girl: Charlotte, Josephine, Adelaide ( wild card) or Marie
Boys: Jean, Guillaume or Raphael (wild card)
I also expert the baby to have a breton middle name in honor of Nicolas' heritage and the fact that he himself has a breton middle name
That said, I know nothing about breton names

God parents: Sébastien and a relative of Nicolas (He has at least a brother, right?)

 

[Archduchess Zelia]

Boy: Augustin, Gabin or Marcel

Girl: Marie-Thérèse, Magali or Joséphine

Godparents: Prince Félix of Luxembourg (holding out for him to finally get his first royal godchild!) and Manon Bagory

 

[Adda]

Boy: Henri, Jean, Louis

Girl: Adélaïde, Alix, Charlotte


Godparents: Guillaume or Stephanie + A Bagory relative.

Hooray!! This is the first I am reading that beautiful Alexandra is expecting. I am thrilled but not surprised. I knew she and Nicolas wouldn't wait long.

PLEASE let it be a girl, and as for the name? Anything other THAN Charlotte will be fine.

I just feel that there are too many Charlotte's in Royal Europe right now.

There are some quite pretty and interesting Breton names listed here for boys and girls. They might choose one of them given Nicolas’s ancestry.

Congratulations to the couple. Wonderful news.

I can't see Charlotte (too close to Charles) or Adolph (sorry don't see any royal using that for decades to come).

I do see a more traditional name then I expect with Felix and Claire's.

Nicholas' parents are Thomas and Gwenaelle.


Jean Thomas Henri Bagory

Antonia Gwenaelle Marie Bagory

Godparents:

Manon Bagory (Nicholas' sister)

One of her brothers maybe Sebastian

I also expect traditional names (but probably not to the extent that Marie Wilhelmine/Guillaume is included) - and probably parents' names as middle names. A guess:

Girl: Joséphine Gwenaelle Marie Therese
Boy: Benoît Thomas Marie Henri

(Josephine is Alexandra's second name and of course a nod to Grand Duchess Josephine-Charlotte; while Benoît is grand duke Jean's second name)
