Sweden has a new Princess, and she's named

Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary


Her mother is Crown Princess Victoria (full name Victoria Ingrid Alice Désirée) and her husband Daniel.

I really like it, I think. I don't know that I care for any of the names, except Mary, on their own, but it's pretty.

Maybe I prefer Estella over Estelle, though...

If they'd have called her Estella, I'd think of the Estrella chips they sell in Sweden. But maybe that's just me :)

Not bad, but considering she'll be queen one day, Queen Estelle doesn't really sound right. Meh, maybe they have a Queen Estelle in their past, who knows...

Any idea how Ewa is pronounced? Is it like a sheep - YOU-ah? Or is the W like a V?

The 'w' is a v sound, so it's pronounced Eva

Many Kings and Queens choose not to be known by their first name once crowned but pick a more 'traditional' name, so, she could go from being Crown Princess Estelle to Queen Mary....

I think it's really pretty, though I wouldn't pick any of the names on their own, Estelle makes me think of Great Expectations, and I think they've struck a good traditional yet modern style :-)

I love Estelle, but I'm not keen on the rest of her name. I love pretty much everything about Princess Victoria's though, especially Ingrid and Alice.

Love it. My cat is Estella, so I'm biased.

Still though, I really love Silvia/Sylvia and Ewa is very pretty. Mary is traditional but it's fine.

I love royal families.... so I really like Estelle and Victoria's names.

I feel like "Mary" sounds out-of-place! Otherwise, I like it. :)

Aw, that's really pretty. I'm guessing "Ewa" is pronounced like Eva/Ava is in English. Her mother's name is very pretty, too.

Lol, well he's not royalty by birth. He was her personal trainer and a gym owner before he became Prince Daniel.

This. Edward VII and George VI are immediately coming to mind.
