This is a gorgeous family! Congrats to them!
- Bugs on
All their children have beautiful names!
- Elizabeth on
The “el” theme (start of both girls names, end of both boys names) is sweet. This is the third recent royal Leonore/Eleonore, joining Infanta Leonor of Spain and Countess Leonore of the Netherlands. I wonder if the name will take off in America soon.
It’s nice that they’ve honored Queen Fabiola (the baby’s great-aunt) and Crown Princess Victoria (one of the godmothers). Anne is probably after the maternal grandmother, Anna Komorowska. All of their children, including the boys, have Marie in their names.
