[Opinions] Re: Swedish crown princess couple's baby?
in reply to a message by Malin
Yay! I've been waiting for this :P
I don't think they'll go with something outlandish since this is the heir to the throne. It'll be traditional. Possible first names:
Erik, Oscar (I hope not - too trendy), Johan, Vilhelm / Wilhelm, Alexander.
Sophia, Lilian (I hope they'll use this), Eleonora, Astrid.Possible middle names:
Sibylla, Lilian, Victoria, Ewa (but I hope they'll spell it Eva), Renate, Silvia, Kristina, Ingrid, Alice
Carl, Gustaf, Olof, Bertil, Johan, Walther, ArturCombo guesses:
Eleonora Lilian Eva Sibylla
Lilian Eva Renate Victoria
Wilhelm Carl Olof Walther
Erik Gustaf Olof Walther
I think it's a girl.

I didn't think of Wilhelm, that would be a good choice. I really like Walther too, but with all these Nazi rumours around that man, true or not, I don't know if it's a good idea. :/ I don't think they would use Lilian as a first name, she's probably not "royal enough" to name the heir after. But I can definitely see it on a younger child! And probably not Sophia either, considering Carl Philip's girlfriend.

I completely forgot about Carl Philip's girlfriend. Whoops. I'm having a hard time coming up with "royal" first names for a girl.
Aurora? Too Disney princessy?
Elisabeth?
Fredrika? Too confusing with crown prince Frederik of Denmark, perhaps.
Henrietta?
Katarina?
Sigrid!?I've read that princess Lilian is very special to Victoria. Lilian never had children and Victoria did not have a paternal grandmother, so Lilian was like a stand-in grandmother to Victoria and her siblings. So, I'm still hoping they'll use Lilian as a middle name (I agree that it's not "royal enough" for a first name).

I really like Fredrika, Katarina and Sigrid, though the only one I could see them using is Sigrid. :)Great list for inspiration: http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogisk_lista_%C3%B6ver_svenska_kungligheter
