| Abstract: | Reactions to the name of the newborn princess of Sweden are discussed. Her spoken name, Estelle, provoked strong reactions in the media from both royalty correspondents and ordinary people. Was it a “proper” royal name or was it more in the realm of nightclub queens? This debate is analysed through commentaries from the press and social media, as well as a study on how the name choice influenced other new parents in Sweden. Statistics show that Estelle has become slightly less popular for girls after the princess’s birth, though the name has increased as a name for pet animals. |
