Lovely name and perhaps a nice tribute to Princess Amalia Maria da Gloria of the Netherlands, née Pss of Saxe-Weimar, the popular wife of the Lux. stadholder Henri/Hendrik. The present grand duke was named after her husband after all.
exciting news! i guess then that the rumours were right, it is a girl!
i like that they chose amalia for her first name, very regal, and shares name with (catharina) amalia. i remember claire wore a dress in her wedding by the same dutch designer who designed maxima's amazing blue inauguration gown, and now they chose the same name for their baby girl. i wonder if the couple is close to the king and queen of the netherlands...
i can't say gabriela is a name i am fond of, but i like that maria teresa got recognition in the name, as did claire's mum.
There is a princess with that name in the Luxembourgian history: The Princess Hendrik of the Netherlands, Princess of Orange-Nassau née Princess Amalia da Gloria Augusta von Sachsen-Weimar und Eisenach (1830-1872).
She was married to Prince Hendrik, brother of Willem III, King of the Netherlands, Grand Duke of Luxembourg. The Prince was appointed Stadtholder, to take the honneurs in the Grand Duchy in name of his brother. Princess Amalia became very loved in Luxembourg. Still today there is a monument honouring her in Luxembourg's City Park.
A baby girl for the lovely couple, how wonderful, just delighted they have a little princess! And her name is so perfect, I love the name Amelia, what a joy for her parents and I can see MT beaming with tons of love, how wonderful!
Congratulations to the couple!!!! I had a dream few days ago they had a girl! I am happy it came true Concerning the name I love this name though noone ever understood what I find in it) I can imagine both families are over the moon!
