Congrats, I like the name.

Ah that’s great news!
However, I do find it strange that their daughter has 3 names and their son has 4..

Philippa, when you say the girl’s full name it’s actually longer than the baby’s! I don’t find it strange, 3 is already quite a lot…
Congrats to them!

I don’t understand why they always need to give the children so many names. His name just sounds like a list of names!

It’s customary for royalty to give their babies three or four names (not including Spain though). All the names of the new baby are of family members – Pieter is his father’s and paternal grandfather’s name, Anton after his maternal grandfather, Maurits after his paternal uncle and Erik after his maternal uncle (not 100% sure about that last one, another report said that it was a Dutch war veteran)
Congrats to P-C & Anita!

Royal babies are given so many names because they usually have no surnames.
