Re: Greek royal family names
I think the Greek royal family has some of the best names out of all the royals (shame they're deposed). I think it's because they have so many connections to other royals, and are a relatively newly established monarchy (the Greeks got a Danish prince in the mid 1800s), that they can choose from a wide selection.They've got a healthy dose of German and Russian blood, are quite Danish, and include some Greek classics to maintain nationalism. French is in practically all the European royals, and they also have close Spanish connections.I love Theodora, Ingrid, Maria Olympia, Tatiana, Astrid, Ingeborg, Irene, and Cecilie for the girls. Konstantinos, Pavlos, Constantine Alexios, and Philippos for boys. Some more Greek royals I like include Victoria Federica, who is the granddaughter of the former Princess Sophia (named after Frederica of Hanover), and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh's sisters: Sophie, Cecilie, Margarita, and Theodora. Quite a lovely sibset, I think.
