Swedish princess Madeleine (Madeleine Thérèse Amelie Josephine) and her husband Chris O'Neill (Christopher Paul) have announced that they're expecting a baby in March! (Nine months after their wedding ...) I don't know if you're tired of royal naming, but still, this is another royal house, so ... ;)
So, the baby's name obviously has to work in Swedish, but also in English as Chris is British and the couple resides in New York. (Chris's mother is Austrian and Madeleine's mother is German, but I don't think they consider how the name would work in German that much.)
FAMILY NAMES:
Madeleine's parents are Carl Gustaf Folke Hubertus and Silvia Renate. Her siblings are Victoria Ingrid Alice Désirée (married to Olof Daniel, daughter Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary) and Carl Philip Edmund Bertil (girlfriend Sofia Kristina). Her grandparents were Gustaf Adolf Oscar Fredrik Arthur Edmund, Sibylla Calma Marie Alice Bathildis Feodora, Walther and Alice.
A more extensive genealogy for Madeleine's father can be found here:

Chris's parents are Paul Cesario and Eva Maria. His half-sisters on his father's side are Annalisa, Stefanie and Karen (one of them has a son Oliver); his half-sisters on his mother's side are Tatjana Maria Margareta Nina (married to John Henry Erland, children Anoushka Maria Violet, Celina Maria Isabel, Jasper Henry Erland) and Natascha (married to Ernst, children Milana Maria, Moritz, Chiara and Louis Cajetan). His paternal grandparents were Paul Holian and Josephine, his maternal grandparents' names have been kept private.
Any ideas? :) I'll post mine separately ...
