As already mentioned in the topic royal names I like the way WA and Max have named all three daughters to former Dutch queens (in their middle names):
- Catharina-Amalia Beatrix Carmen Victoria (known as Amalia)
- Alexia Juliana Marcela Laurentien
- Ariane Wilhelmina Máxima Ines
The York princesses also have second names that pay homage to Queens:
- Beatrice
Elizabeth Mary
- Eugenie
Victoria Helena
The Gloucester "girls," as well:
- Davina
Elizabeth Alice Benedikte
- Rose
Victoria Birgitte Louise
------------------------------------------------
My favorite set of middle names are those that were given to Edward VIII, later Duke of Windsor:
- Edward Albert Christian
George Andrew Patrick David)
As a future heir to the throne, he was named after the
four Patron Saints of the UK:
- St.
George - Patron saint of
England (Feast Day on April 23)
- St.
Andrew - Patron saint of
Scotland (Feast Day on November 30)
- St.
Patrick - Patron saint of
Ireland (Feast Day on March 17)
- St.
David - Patron saint of
Wales (Feast Day on March 1)
A lovely tribute to his heritage and what was to be his future role.
