- Prince Aristidis Stavros (4)
Prince Nikolaos (43)

The king's sisters are Sophia (now Queen Sofia of Spain) and Irene. His father was Pavlos (also called Paul). His mother was Frederica of Hanover, whose full name was Frederica Louisa Thyra Victoria Margareta Sophie Olga Cécilie Isabelle Christa.
Anne-Marie's parents were Frederick IX (Christian Frederik Franz Michael Carl Valdemar Georg) and Ingrid of Sweden (Ingrid Victoria Sofia Louise Margareta), who was the aunt of the current king of Sweden. Her sisters are Margrethe Alexandrine Þórhildur Ingrid (Queen Margarethe II) and Benedikte Astrid Ingeborg Ingrid.

A lot of these are great but Arrietta stands out to me as being especially awesome.
Also I didn't realize that Queen Sofia of Spain was Greek royalty. One of my favorite high school teachers he has nine siblings but one of his sisters is or was an important assistant or aide or something like that to Queen Sofia. He wasn't the kind of person to lie about something like that so I believe him, he seemed very proud of his sister. Plus he knows many languages including Spanish and he said his sister knows many languages as well, which is probably a useful skill for someone with her job.

I think the Greek royal family has some of the best names out of all the royals (shame they're deposed). I think it's because they have so many connections to other royals, and are a relatively newly established monarchy (the Greeks got a Danish prince in the mid 1800s), that they can choose from a wide selection.
They've got a healthy dose of German and Russian blood, are quite Danish, and include some Greek classics to maintain nationalism. French is in practically all the European royals, and they also have close Spanish connections.
I love Theodora, Ingrid, Maria Olympia, Tatiana, Astrid, Ingeborg, Irene, and Cecilie for the girls. Konstantinos, Pavlos, Constantine Alexios, and Philippos for boys.
Some more Greek royals I like include Victoria Federica, who is the granddaughter of the former Princess Sophia (named after Frederica of Hanover), and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh's sisters: Sophie, Cecilie, Margarita, and Theodora. Quite a lovely sibset, I think.
