This Saturday, the Duke and Duchess of Huéscar baptized their second daughter, who received a name that has caused surprise and astonishment: Sofía Fernanda Dolores Cayetana Teresa Ángela de la Cruz Micaela of the Blessed Sacrament of Perpetual Help of the Holy Trinity and All Saints, This is how the little girl was baptized in Seville on the afternoon of Saturday, October 7.
The name, which has perplexed many, pays homage to the late Duchess of Alba, Cayetana de Alba, and other members of the family, including religious devotions. The baptism took place in the San Román Parish and was marked by the presence of family and close friends.
According to priest Ignacio Jiménez Sánchez-Dalp it was a “quick ceremony.” “For me they are very dear people, I have known them since they were children. “I also married them,” the priest reported. Little Sofía was sponsored by her maternal grandmother, Matilde Solís, and Jorge Rojas, a close childhood friend of the Duke of Huéscar.
The girl's unusual name, which consists of several names and family references, has generated surprise and debate on social networks and among those present at the ceremony. In addition, the church was decorated with centers of white flowers and olive branches, creating an atmosphere full of symbolism. During the sacrament, Holy Week marches were played, further emphasizing the importance of tradition in the family.

Additionally, he mentioned that his children were unable to attend due to their work commitments in London.
The baptism concluded around eight-thirty at night, and all the guests headed to Dueñas to enjoy a family dinner.
