Who knows what name she will chose. W-A has always been known as "W-A" but it's the opposite with Amalia - at times I forget she's "Catharina-Amalia."
I have a question - while she has five names, can she choose something separate and apart from her given names as her regnal name? Juliana or Wilhemina, for example?
When Amalia becomes Queen, what name will she use? Catharina or Amalia?
Catharina-Amalia could be Queen Catharina Amalia with the stipulation that she does not want her name hyphenated. ???
I don't see her choosing to reign by one of her other names, even Beatrix. The Dutch don't have a history of choosing a reignal name. WA was simply a debate whether he would drop Alexander and join the line of Willems. I think the only debate will be if she rules as Queen Catharina or Queen Catharina-Amalia.
She will be Queen Catharina-Amalia. That is the name she is registered with. With hypen "like in my name" as her father added during the registration ceremony.
When Willem-Alexander got king, he said in an interview prior to the inauguration that Willem-Alexander is his name and is the name he is known for. Therefore he choose Willem-Alexander as his name as king.
Catharina-Amalia is known as "simple" Amalia. So I guess she will be Queen Amalia.
Catharina-Amalia may be known as Queen Amalia to honor the early Dutch royal ladies who had Amalia as part of their name.
she could in theory be Beatrix II
she could in theory be Beatrix II
Juliana said that she chose it due to it's meaning: She who brings happiness.

Irene was chosen for i's meaning too: peace. Just when WWII was starting.
Margriet (Daisy) was chosen as the flower was a symbol for the resistance movement.
None of the names have a particular history in the Dutch RF. Juliana's name herself was of course a tribute to the mother of William of Orange.
Willem Alexander should be named Willem IV instead
Why? The king (Willem-Alexander; with hyphen!) disagrees.
Then Juliana got it wrong. It means “blessed” or “happy” or in the earliest version, “traveler”, but has nothing to do with bringing it.

The name Beatrice is a girl's name of Italian, Latin origin meaning "she who brings happiness; blessed".
Would be an sequence, without the necessity of a composed name
