Help[Opinions] New Norwegian princess
Princess Märtha Louise of Norway and her husband Ari Behn got their third daughter yesterday, Maud Angelica's (5) and Leah Isadora's (3) sister: Emma Tallulah.
Her cousins are Ingrid Alexandra (4) and Sverre Magnus (3), children of crown prince Haakon and crown princess Mette-Marit.
WDYT?
The Norwegians seem quite upset about the not very Norwegian name Tallulah. They were upset about Isadora too, 'cause many apparently considered it just a makeup brand, not a real name... :P

Witness the decline of royalty
Nothing inherently wrong with the decline of royalty. I just am a little sad about it. Emma Tallulah is a fully trendy American name. I would never guess it for a Norwegian princess. Not that there is anything wrong with anyone, anywhere using any name they please. ... I just like regional distinctions, I guess. I also like the small, familiar, and widely-translatable namebank that is usually used by royalty. Leah and Tallulah are very solidly not in it. But it's fine. Emma Tallulah's fine.

I had the same reaction
The names made me a little sad.
For any other family I'd be thrilled. It's not fair I suppose. But I expect names that transport me back into Norwegian history.

I've never been able to get into Tallulah
It annoys me to no end, because it seems that everybody on here sees an undeniable beauty in it. And I want to see that! But I just can't. Whenever I hear the name Tallulah I picture a spoiled chihuahua in a pink tutu. I don't know, I guess it's just nms. Anyway, I think Louise is darling and Leah Isadora is gorgeous. Sverre is wicked cool.

Love it. I have lots of love for Tallulah. :)

Emma Tallulah doesn't sound like a princess's name at all. It's very Hollywood-trendy. Nix.

Emma is boring. I'm getting really sick of it. I don't even think it's pretty. Tallulah is awesome, I love it. Too bad that she'll probably go by Emma.
I love Isadora as well. Leah is okay. I dislike Maud.
Why are they upset ? I mean her first name is Emma, not Tallulah even though I wish it was hehe.

Norwegians often go by both their names, like Märtha Louise. ;)
