Help[Opinions] Re: Belgian royal family names
in reply to a message by Sofia
I like:
Albert Félix
Théodore
Felix (Yes, different name to me --> listed seperately)
Maria Antonia
Philippe Léopold
Leopold
Mathilde Marie
Ghislaine
Thérèse Marie Hélène
Gabriël Boudewijn Karel
Gabriel Baudouin Charles
Leopold Guillaume François
Eléonore Fabiola Victoria Anne Marie
Joséphine
Charlotte
Lorenz Otto Carl Amadeus Thadeus
Pius Andreas
Amedeo (prefer Amadeo though)
Joseph Carl Pierre
Maria Laura
Beatrix
Nikolaus
Luisa Maria Anna Martine
Laetitia
Nora Anna
Laurent Benoît Baudouin
Claire Louise
Louise Sophie Mary
Nicolas Casimir
You know being Lutheran I accept that Catholics use Maria/Marie as MNs for both genders (I live in Bavaria, it's done here too) but naming girls Gerhard & Joachim or boys Isabelle and Paola (which I guess are their godfathers' / godmothers' names) is overdoing things, IMO ;)

Yes, that's possible. But Luisa does not have a masculine given name, does she?

You were right the first time, the middle names are usually after godparents, not saints.
Generally, the only saints' female name use for boys is Mary (in all it's forms), girls do tend to get male saints in the middle name spot more often, but it's usually either a family patron saint or one of the 'big' ones (like Jose, Jesus, etc.).
In this case:
Amedeo Maria Joseph Carl Pierre Filip Paola Marcus -Filip Paola part is after the prince and the queen who are his godparents
Maria Laura Zita Beatrix Gerhard -her godfather is her paternal uncle Archduke Gerhard of Austria-Este
