Help[Opinions] Máxima
I've taken a fancy to Máxima lately and wondered what you thought of it. It's the name of the Dutch Crown Princess and admittedly, I don't know if I would like it as much, or at all, if it weren't for the fact that Princess Máxima is such an amiable, sweet person. :) Same with Letizia. In fact, what do you think of these "Princess" names:
Letizia
Leonor

Royalty or not, I can't say I advocate using 5 or 6 or more names for one child. It's a bit of overkill if you ask me. :b
However, I do like these individually....
Leonor
Maria
Isabel
Antonia
Ingrid
Louise
Alice
Madeleine Therese Amelie Josephine - this is my favorite, I think
Caroline Louise Marguerite - Nope, this is my favorite :)
Charlotte
Virginia
Catharina-Amalia Beatrix Carmen Victoria - this one's nice, too
Ines
Georgina
Nora
Mathilde
Claire Louise
Beatrice
Helena
Astrid
Laura
Beatrix
Anna
Pilar
Cécile
Irene
Theodora
A lot of the same names are repeated, eh? :-/ And Alexia for more than one princess? Yikes.

Re: Repitition: Especially Maria / Marie /Mary. I noticed that even the boys are given the names Maria and Marie.
Yeah, as much as I'd love to give my kids five or six of my favourite names, it's so impractical. Two middle names is my limit.
Oddly enough, there's a Princess Alexia of Greece who is in her 40s (I thought the names was a more recent invention) and the other isn't even two, yet.
I love Madeleine and Caroline's names, too. :)

I wish I was a princess so much.
I could use all of my favorite names in one go and not be looked down upon.
Man. I love most of those princess more than anything. Wonderful, wonderful!
I still think Maxima is a little extreme though.

Me, too...
I heart them all, but I'm especially partial to Princess Mary and Princess Letizia. :)
I'd like nothing better than to give my child five names so i could use all the ones that I love, but I don't think there's enough room on the birth certificate. :)

Princess Letizia is gorgeous and she has particularly beautiful children. Her husband's not that bad of a catch, either. ;)
I thought Joachim is a male name! Now that's new to me.
It is a male name, but it seems the children of Princess Astrid receive the names of their godparents, so some of the girls end up with boy names and the boys with girls names. I believe one of her sons has the middle name Isabelle, after his godmother.
