For a Son: Matteus
For a Daughter: Cecilia
For a Daughter: Cecilia
It’s possible as Sofias late paternal grandmother was also named Ingrid.. But i think Ingrid will be for a middle name if they have a girl… They seems to be determined to use new names (for the royal family) as spoken names for their childrenMaybe Ingrid?
Just out of curiosity: what is significant about Västerbotten?Boy: Edmund Ingvar Gustaf
Ingvar (Sofia's paternal grandfather's middle name) could also be Ingmar – as Sofia's mother's full name is Britt Ingmari.
Girl: Amelia Lilian Ingrid or Ebba Sylvie Marie
My original guess for a first name for a girl was Lilian, nicknamed Lilly (the name of Sofia's great-grandmother), but with a brother named Julian and a cousin named Ellie, I doubt they would go for that.
Dukedom: Västerbotten
As the baby is CP's, I can't imagine CG won't splurge on another significant dukedom.
Godparents: Prince Daniel, Léopold Sommerlath and Tiara Larsson. And two friends.
It was the King’s parents dukedomJust out of curiosity: what is significant about Västerbotten?
Jämtland would be an excellent option!Girl: Lilian, Sibylla, Alice or Silvia
Boy: Gustav, Bertil, Walther (after CP's maternal grandpa) or Erik
Duchy: Västerbotten
Godparents: Prince Daniel, Victor Magnuson, Patrick Sommerlath, one of Sofia's friends, Princess Madeleine, Frida Vesterberg or Lina Hellqvist
Yes I know, but I just can't see it as "significant". I think Gustaf Adolf is the only duke of that province, ever.It was the King’s parents dukedom
A duchy previously given to a crown prince is significant because of that imho.Yes I know, but I just can't see it as "significant". I think Gustaf Adolf is the only duke of that province, ever.
I have a hard time seeing how Västerbotten wouldn't hold special significance for the family. Edmund being the only holder makes it all the more significant as the dukedom is inextricably linked to the father CG never knew because he died under tragic circumstances.Yes I know, but I just can't see it as "significant". I think Gustaf Adolf is the only duke of that province, ever.
Prince Oscar (the 2:nd son of King Oscar I and Queen Josefina) was Duke of Gotland until he lost the title upon marriage, wich is now Princess Leonore’s title… But Ångermanland (Nicolas) and Blekinge (Adrienne) was indeed not used before.So far, the king has given Madeleine and her children duchies that were not awarded before while he has given Carl Philip and his sons all duchies that were previously used by other princes (as well as future queens and sons of heirs, i.e., Oscar).
Uppland is a possibility. Normally they would wait until both the previous holder and his spouse has passed away, but Countess Marianne is now 100 years old, and The King has already made an exception from that tradition with Princess Estelle’s title, as Princess Kristine Bernadotte (whose late husband Prince Carl Bernadotte was Duke of Östergötland between 1911 - 1937) was still alive.. She passed away on 4 November 2014.
For a double dukedom ”Småland and Öland” would be nice. But that would include their summer residence Solliden wich i’m sure will be inherited by Victoria…
Technically Jämtland is vacant since the King’s accession but it is well known here in Sweden that he still views himself as Duke of Jämtland, so i think the next time that title will be used will be for a child of Princess Estelle…
Prince Oscar is the Duke of Skåne.
I believe that both Närke and Skåne are both currently vacant?
Yes he is ,that leaves Närke as a possibility!Prince Oscar is the Duke of Skåne.
Not anticipated?I doubt a fourth child was anticipated so this one seems more up in the air.
Sofia said at an interview that this pregnancy came as a surprise, it was not planned. They were very happy with their family with their three sons, but of couse this was a wonderful surprise.Not anticipated?

I did not mean to imply unplanned, although I vaguely recall Sofia saying something in her Vogue interview that this was a surprise, but I can be totally misremembering or misunderstanding especially since I was reading a translation.Not anticipated?
