Up until then, I headcanon she was called Baby Princess by the citizens. I think the lantern lifting was their version of her Christening, when her name would be revealed to the people.
She has the wiggliness and personality of a three-month-old, at the youngest. So my headcanon is that the night they lifted the lantern was not the day she was born. Now, Corona doesn’t appear to be a Christian nation (it appears to be a sun-worshiping one that has the trappings of Christianity, if you ask me, but that’s neither here nor there), and the king and queen clearly named their baby. Rapunzel was named after this flower.Īs for why Gothel kept the name, I have a headcanon for that.īack in the day, in ye olden tymes, babies were often not named until they were Christened, which didn’t really happen until the parents were relatively sure the kid would survive.
This was deliberate on the part of the artists who designed it. Notice how the center of the Sundrop flower essentially contains a rapunzel flower.
