I was thinking about names lately and I don't think they will go to much on the traditional danish names side. I think it will be something more international what with half of the twins family being non-danish (and a french aunt and grandpa too, even if they're danish by now
).
That said, I like these names for the twins today (as first names. I don't think about middle names, because I don't like the concept of middle names. They are so needless IMO):
Girls:
Mathilda (international known, the first two letters from Mummy Mary and also a little nordic touch)
Boys:
Tristan: I read this name a few posts earlier when someone made a comment about Isabellas name and I instantly had a special feeling about this name regarding Mary's and Fred's twins. I would like on possible boy to be a Tristan.
And why not choose a variation from one of the family trees names like it obviously happened in the Netherlands with Alexia and Willem Alexander? It wouldn't be surprising because they have found the name Isabella the same way. Here are the names I would like:
Girls:
Magdalena (from Sophie Magdalene von Brandenburg-Kulmbach. Queen of Denmark from 1730 - 1746).
Note:
Magdalena & Mathilda would sound so nice if there will be twin girls.
Charlotte (from Charlotte Friederike, Herzogin zu Mecklenburg. The first wife of Christian VIII)
Carolina or Carola (from Caroline Amalie von Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg. Second wife of Christian VIII and Queen of Denmark from 1839 - 1848)
Louisa (from all those Louise's on the family tree. I seems like this was a very common name for one of the daughters of all of thos Frederik's and Christian's
)
Boys:
It's a little difficult with boys because of the heaps of Christian's and Frederik's out there.
But there are also a lot of Knut's, Erik's, Sven's, Harald's and Waldemar's out there and I really like
Knut and
Erik. I also like the name
Niels which is also present on the family tree. There are also a few Karl's but I see that name more of a possibility for a son of Victoria & Daniel instead of Mary & Frederik.
Godparents:
I still have a feeling about
Prince Daniel to be one of the godparents. And maybe a few other second line royals such as
Märtha Louise or one of Willem Alexanders brothers or sisters-in-law. Or maybe
Prince Edward and/or Sophie? Do the danish royals have close contact to the english royals? In that case maybe
Prince William or
Prince Harry would be nice too. Harry does like children a lot and William will be a married man soon and start the same lifestyle as all his married colleagues (and he will be CP one day himself. So maybe it's nice to include him in the circle of royal godparents too?) Oh, and
Princess Madeleine would be nice if they really chose Magdalena as a girls name, because than godmother and godchild share the same name, even if they use different variations.
Others than that I think it will not be much royality in the god-parents circle. I have a feeling that it will be
mostly close friends and family (how old are Marys nephews/nieces? Are they a possibility?)
