Dreadfully.
This is the reason why I’m hesitant in naming a boy of mine “Carl”.
The Swedish pronunciation is nice but the American or British pronunciation is dreadful, IMO. Each to their own ?
Dreadfully.
Halland, in memory of Prince Bertil & Princess Lilian, who were like grandparents to Carl Philip and his siblings, is a lovely touch
I like that. Do we know if he is getting a Coat of Arms?
That creates some complications. As Tatiana Maria explained, the Law on Sweden's national coat of arms of 1982 allows the Head of State to give other members of the Royal House permission to use the greater national coat of arms, which is also the personal coat of arms of the King of Sweden, as their personal arms, with the changes and additions determined by the Head of State (usually one of the quadrants is replaced with the arms of the province associated with the prince's duchy).In accordance with His Majesty The King’s decision of 7 October 2019 regarding changes in The Royal House, Prince Julian is a member of the Royal Family but not of The Royal House. The Prince will therefore not enjoy the style of Royal Highness.
I don't think anyone us would have guessed Prince Julian Herbert Folke and nice to see the Duchy of Halland being used again.
Pretty sure all three names had been guessed but not in this combination.
So the Duchy of Halland goes to the child of CP, not surprising.
I used to think that they are done having children (after Gabriel), but I start thinking will they go for a fourth for a girl.
If Sofia and Carl Philip are welcoming a forth son and this son will be named Gustaf or has Gustaf as one of his middle names all children of them has one name of the king:
Alexander Erik HUBERTUS Bertil
Gabriel CARL Walther
Julian Herbert FOLKE
The only name missing is Gustaf.
You're right, all the names honuour the King whose full name is
Carl Gustaf Folke Hubertus
Isn't Hubertus and Herbert the same name though? If so, then the King has been honoured twice.

lovely name, julian, a bit unexpected. he looks a lot like sofia, i think. interesting they picked the duchy of Halland for him, i wonder how it got assigned to such a late grandchild. given the association with lilian and bertil, i expected it to be given to one of the first born grandchildren, rather than the 8th.
it is great to see otherwise that julian and sofia were so quickly out of hospital. the swedes make birth look so simple!
How is Julian pronounced in Swedish’s?
