Witness the decline of royalty
in reply to a message by Malin
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 reactionThe 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.
