Naming of a Royal

I just thought that this was cute. I've been following the hardship of Princess Masako and her struggle to try and produce a male heir, but the stress of that role turned out to be quite powerful. Here is what Aiko means:

Japan's New Royal Baby - Princess Aiko: "The baby was named Princess Aiko in the naming ceremony, which is traditionally held on the seventh day after the baby's birth. Aiko, written with kanji character for 'love' and 'child', refers to 'a person who loves others.'"
