How it ages.

A dignified, old-fashioned name with royal history - reads elegant and grown-up rather than trendy, and has never really gone out of style.

The cultural moment.

Last ranked 49th in Denmark in 2016; elsewhere it appears only occasionally, chosen today mostly for its dignified, old-fashioned character rather than any current popularity.
