It's tipped to be the new prince's name. I know we're all supposed to love old men's names but Arthur is just too awful.

Come on Kate & Will - you know you want to call him Milo or Ryan. Just do it!

My money is on Donald and a certain president being thrilled to bits.

I think Arthur or Albert will be great names, not long to wait now though

I'm amazed Albert is so hotly predicted.

Surely they can't call him Prince Albert??

Agree. Arthur is definitely an old mans name. James would be nice but I think Edward's son is already called that?

I like James, but James and George may be too similar.

I think Arthur's a great name, and would go well with George and Charlotte.

I’m thinking Thomas or Richard or Gaylord.

I suggested Albert yesterday and somebody had to explain to me that it wasn't the best AND what a prince Albert was Blush I have clearly led a sheltered life

Yes Edward and Sophie's son is James I wonder if they will go for Charles or Phillip ?

Reminds me of 'MInder' - a very old drama / comedy series. the main guy was called Arthur Daley and was pronounced 'rthur' without an A!

I think it's going to be one of Arthur/Albert/Alfred. And I hate all of them.

Off to google what a Prince Albert is. Blush

I think George has Louis in his name but I like it as a first name

MrsJayy I must also have lived a sheltered life - what's wrong with naming the baby Prince Albert???
