HelpGuesses for new Danish princess name?
I guess in Denmark they have a tradition where they don't officially name a baby until it's baptized, so unlike little Swedish Estelle, the new(ish) daughter of Prince Joachim and Princess Marie will have to wait until May. Any guesses as to the princess's name? She has three older brothers (two of them half), named:
Nikolai William Alexander Frederik
Felix Henrik Valdemar Christian
Henrik Carl Joachim Alain
Her parents are Joachim Holger Waldemar Christian and Marie Agathe Odile, grandparents Margrethe, Henri / Henrik, Alain, and Françoise.
I'm thinking it will be something fairly traditional, probably Danish with French influence. What about you? What would you have named a sibling to these three brothers?

- Modern royals almost always pick a first name they just like, especially with girls. Doesn't necessarily have to be honoring, but even if it is, it's from waaay back int the family tree, indicating that it was chosen more for aesthetics. Her cousin has a popular Nordic name, and I wouldn't be surprised if she does as well.
- Definitely the middle names. Royals looove to honor.

The first name to pop into my head was Alice / Alix. But I'd be thrilled with a little Margarethe or Francoise / Franziska (or Danish variant thereof).
