Poll: What do you think Madeleine and Chris’ daughter will be called?
Because polls are fun on a weekend… I have a poll of guessing Princess Madeleine and Chris’ new daughter’s name. My guess is that the name will be revealed by the King after the council of State. Since that won’t be this weekend, I am letting the poll go to next week. (If Chris reveals it when he is meeting the press at 18.00 Swedish time tonight, I am still letting this run over the weekend as a what do you think the daughter’s name should have been…)
I have selected the options based on Swedish princess names, popular Swedish female names, popular American female names and one for laughs.
You can select up to four names.
I have also included a “Other.” If you select that, I hope you add your alternative to the commenting section.

What’s in a name?
I don’t have the most common name in the world. In fact, if I include my middle name – I’m the only one in the world with my name.
However, due to the fact that my middle name is near impossible to spell, for everyone but the people who live in the valley where it is a place name, I’ve gone by middle initial since the sixth grade, for the most part.
When I signed up for hotmail, and subsequently gmail, however, I omitted the initial. My first name plus initial is another word entirely in Norwegian. And I did not want to add additional punctuation to my e-mail address. So I skipped it entirely.
Only to get email within the past couple of years for women who are definitely not me, but have the same first and last name, or so similar that the people sending them email have mis-spelled the email.
One of my namesakes is a retiree in the Caribbean somewhere, and I get included on chain emails for all her friends. Another one is a jewellery store owner in Wisconsin, with at least two children. How do I know this? I got a proposal for sale of some diamonds a while back, additionally, she herself used a wrong email when she signed up to buy a baby crib some years ago. And her son is doing soccer camp this summer and I got several emails from the camp. Last summer he did drama, including emails from casting agents for auditions.
What do I do about it?
I try to tell the sender of the emails that they’ve reached the wrong person. Sometimes it works, and other times it doesn’t.
Anyone else have similar issues?

Guessing Danish names…
It seems from the royal calendar that Crown Princess Mary has gone on maternity leave – or as good as, anyway. With the birth getting closer by the day, here is a small speculation on what the twins might end up being called.
Feel free to chime in with interesting names for royal twins in the comment section.

The name of the little Danish Prince
Today the son of Prince Joachim and Princess Marie of Denmark was baptised in Møgeltønder Church.
He received the names: Henrik Carl Joachim Alain.
Henrik comes from his grandfather, Prince Henrik.
Carl is a traditional name in the Danish royal family, although not used much in recent years. Before becoming the Norwegian King, King Haakon VII was Prince Carl of Denmark.
Joachim from his father.
Alain from his mother’s father, Alain Cavallier.
