Comments

  1. Diazisla: never thought i'd say this but monarchies and naming conventions are actually kind of fascinating
  2. Dusk Vesper: wait so the name wasn't even tied to royal history or tradition? that's pretty interesting
  3. Fractal Sable: fair point, but wouldn't be a fan of the numerical precedent
  4. Mia: I wonder how many potential names were rejected before they settled on Haakon VIII
  5. 🪐 Sigrid Nkosi: no one's even brought up his dad yet, king sverre
  6. Theo: I've always thought it's funny how easily numbers get thrown around in royal naming conventions
  7. Noahcosta: I guess it says something about our collective lack of imagination if we're running low on monarch names already
  8. Larsenadam: wait a minute, if he was actually Haakon XII then what's all this fuss about his 'unique' name?
  9. Bruno: they actually fact-checked their own royal history and wow
  10. Lucas: would have made more sense with a few more monarchs in between for actual record-keeping purposes 💬
  11. Pale Cinder: not surprised they had to dig into the records to justify the royal naming convention now
  12. Allegra: why didn't we learn this in school?
