I'm not sure there have been any recent Prince Erik's or if the name has been used by the Swedish RF?
The third son of Gustav V was called Erik (1889-1918). He was epileptic and had an intellectual disability that was probably caused by either a birth injury or by his mum being heavily medicated against pneumonia during the pregnancy. Erik died of the Spanish flu.I'm not sure there have been any recent Prince Erik's or if the name has been used by the Swedish RF?
Alexander's second name is Erik. I don't recall the Swedes having as little fantasy as the British that they feel the need to use the same name for multiple children (as in siblings).
Alexander Erik Hubertus Bertil
Gabriel Carl Walther
Sofia's father is Erik Oscar, so that Erik was most probably honoring Sofia's father.

Could Gustav be a choice? is my bet.
Today, it's announced that the third son of the Duke and Duchess of Värmland shall be the Duke of Halland, after Prince Bertil (1912-1997) and Princess Lilian (married 1976, deceased 2013). Somehow, Carl Philip's passion of motor racing inherited from the first Duke of Halland is reflected in his third son's dukedom. Now, Bertil's and Carl Johan's dukedoms are inherited by Carl Philip's sons.
I guess there's a reason why Närke and Västmanland aren't granted, perhaps because the Duke of Närke died unmarried, and the Duke of Västmanland had epilepsy and mild intellectual disability.
Which duchies are now without a duke?
It's somehow interesting that Julian rhymes with Lilian.
It's probable that if they have a faughter someday, whe will be named Lilian.
Estelle is probably to young to be a godparent. The Church of Sweden website says that a godparent has to be baptised (though not necessarily in the Church of Sweden) and an adult. It also says that it's the parish minister that has the final say regarding who's a suitable godparent.Is there a minimum age for godparents in their church?
Could Estelle be a godparent yet?
