25 February 2012  HRH Princess Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary, Duchess
of Östergötland        Postscript 26 February 2012 at 09.00
Sources for the postscript:       1. I'm not sure that I feel
quite as strongly as you and others do about it, but I do think
it is more appropriate for a direct heir/ess to a throne to have
a name traditional to the monarchy s/he will someday inherit. Of
course, presumably, a century hence no one will be able to
imagine a more Swedish royal-sounding name than Estelle!
Sadly for the historically-minded, though, it should be clear by
now that none of the present Scandinavian crown princely couples
feel bound by tradition in naming except for the
Frederik/Christian rotation of Danish kings.    2. Not sure if I
can agree with you regarding the Norwegian Crown Prince couple.
There have been 2 Norwegian queens named Ingrid/Ingerid, and the
Alexandra name clearly has royal connections. And the name
Sverre Magnus is certainly within the Norwegian royal tradition!
3. I stand corrected
