Which Adelaide do you think Adelaide name is inspired from?
(Mary of Teck's mother, so baby Adelaide's great great great great grandmother). Given how both August and Ernest's names are all from their direct ancestors only, this Adelaide is the closest Adelaide from baby A's direct ancestors from her both parents. Problem is, Eugenie on her announcement didn't named Mary Adelaide as the source of her Adelaide, while when she announced August and Ernest, she named all the sources of their name.
(Queen Victoria's first daughter)
Since Eugenie (Eugenie Victoria Helena) herself named after Queen Victoria, it makes sense to name her first daughter with QV's first daughter's name.
From Emily Ferguson (emilyinpalace) on X:
"The name Adelaide is partly inspired by Queen Adelaide (1792-1849), married to William IV, and Maria Adelaide of Portugal.
Eugenie's evening gown at her wedding was accessorised with two diamond wheat-ear brooches worn as hair slides, commissioned by William IV for Queen Adelaide."
Or it's none of the above?
