Baby Names from Yesteryear: Modern Day Royals

Baby Names from Yesteryear: Modern Day Royals | Name News | Scoop.it

"One royal that has given his offspring fabulously regal names is Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece. Although the Crown Prince has a title, Greece officially abolished its monarchy and is now governed by a republican constitution. The Crown Prince now lives in London with his wife Crown Princess Marie-Chantal and their five children."

Clare's insight:

If you like double-barrelled Greek royal names (as I'm sure you do), this post is highly recommended.

Can I Hyphenate My Way Out of This Surname? | Ask The Name Lady

"I'm looking into hyphenating my last name with [another], telling everyone I have this other name, and only using my full hyphenated name on official documents. Would you recommend me hyphenating my last name at the risk of upsetting my dad? Should I keep it a secret from him? Do I have a right to change it without feeling trapped to this fate forever? Is the other name I'm considering even good?
