I don't like Lilian, but I guess it's an important family name considering her cousin also has it.

I think it's nice overall. I like but don't love Ines; it seems conservative but also chic and multicultural. I don't think it clashes with the brothers' names, but it doesn't seem particularly complimentary with them either.

I like Princess Madeleine's kids' names the most - not really because I prefer the individual names, but I like them more as a set and think the combos flow better. Julian Herbert Folke is my favorite combo of Prince Carl's kids.

I like Ines (although I personally prefer the spelling Inez). The flow of Ines Marie Lilian Silvia is actually ok, though I think Ines Lillian Silvia would have been great: that Marie feels kinda tacked-on, though I'm sure it's not. The combo comes across very much like "this is our last kid and only daughter so we have to cram as many names as possible in here" so of course it looks a little lumpy. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

Ines, Alexander, Gabriel and Julian is a fun sibset. Ines is a really unexpected name for me; Agnes is well and truly extinct in my neck of the woods, so when any version of it pops up it immediately gives it an air of exotic, whimsical randomness. Which I do enjoy. It elevates the rest of her bothers into something more interesting than if she had been named Marie, Lilian or Silvia.

I like Alexander. The others are a bit prissy, though I am glad Marie was used instead of Maria. Liliana would have been more elegant than plain Lilian, also.

I think Ines is lovely! I love the name and I think it goes well with her brothers.

Very pretty!

I think it's lovely.

I don't like Ines and does go with the brothers names

The flow of these names is less like a quaint stream and more like a jagged boulder-stewn creek

Personally, if I were to have to choose the order of the four names, I'd go with Lilian Marie Silvia Ines

And then Lilian matches more her brothers than Ines does

I don't like Ines at all. OK, it's better than Agnes, but that's not saying much. One of the many problems about being royal is having to use so many names for every new child: Marie isn't bad but I prefer Mary. Silvia is good, so is Maria though once again I'd rather use Mary. Eva is a family name, but I'd use Eve. The best name of the lot in my view is Alice. Alice Lilian Silvia Mary would have been my choice! The three boys have good but ordinary names: interesting that both Hubertus and Herbert are used! I like Carl, Nicolas and Paul, and Julian as a mn.
