I think it will be born tomorrow, it will be a girl and they’ll call her Rosa Elizabeth.

What’s everyone else (who’s interested) thinking?

I think they have already had the baby, it’s a boy, and he has a nature themed name

I think girl, born 1 May and called Helena

I haven't really followed any of the predictions threads.

But I think Rosa wouid be a lovely choice for a girl (with middle names selected from Elizabeth, Diana and Doria, or similar)

I suspect a boy would have a slightly posh but not traditionally royal name Marcus, Piers, Raphael ?

I accurately predicted Prince Louis, so it would be nice to be right again Smile.

I think Aidan for a boy and Isabella for a girl

I thought everyone knew it was a girl after the baby shower photos?

Anyways I suspect the baby has already been born, is a girl, and they will go with an unconventional/shocking name.

@NoHolidaysforyou, I did notice a lot of pink at the baby shower but I’m sure they wouldn’t be that indiscreet? Also there was a rumour that she revealed at the baby shower that she was having a boy.

What sort of name do you see as unconventional?

(Genuine question, doubt anyone wouid find a name shocking unless it was something like Adolf)

I think it will be this week sometimes, it will be a girl and the name will be something like Alexandra, Matilda or Clara. With Diana / Elizabeth and something "out there" like Skye as middle names.

Hmm I just think they won't choose a name that has been used by the royal family and even though a bit silly, I'm sure some will be a bit shocked by this. I could see them choosing something more American sounding.

You’re not allowed to say the baby will be called Rosa; another poster predicted it on a thread and had the post deleted.

I think she had it weeks ago - and it's a girl.

After she had all the flowers of the Commonwealth embroidered on her veil and there is talk of them living in Africa, I think it will be a very unusual name for a Royal baby.

@Lllot5 😂😂 if that happened, it would make me life!!

I think it's girl born today and Victoria will be in there somewhere!

I think she's already had it.
But I couldn't even guess my own correctly Grin

If she's already had it, it must have been a few days ago (Orince Harry wouldn't have been at the Marathon, surely if anything s happening or the infant was absolutely brand new.

Middle of the week.

Bound to be a boy because my hunch is a girl and I'm always wrong!

I think the name will definitely be a name IYSWIM (not a random noun)

My guesses:

Victoria, Rosalind, Isabella, Allegra, Grace, Gaia

Jonathan (ka Jonty), Cosmo, Dashiel (because Dash wouid be such a great nickname), Aidan

With Markle as one of the middle names

Lllot5 honestly that has tickled me!! I just have the image in my head of the announcement being made 😂😂

They did say they would announce when she is in labour, so maybe it hasn’t happened already 🤷🏻‍♀️ I suppose it depends whether she went into labour in the middle of the night or not...

I am glad they aren’t doing the whole media circus standing on the steps of the Lindo wing, it’s absurd to put a new mom through that pressure

Feels like she’s been pregnant for ages. No doubt she does too. Can you imagine if the baby is called something ‘out there’ daily mail will explode

It's 28 weeks since the pregnancy was announced so you would think baby's arrival was imminent. My guess would be a girl Alice Mary Diana but if a boy I think they will go for Henry and Phillip will be one of the middle names.

I don't know why but I have a feeling it will be born at home.

"They did say they would announce when she is in labour" - actually, I'm not so sure they did. There's no reference to it at all on any of the official Royal/Kensington websites, and I can't find any press release with it on. Announcing when she's in labour would also not tie in with the idea of allowing the family time to celebrate privately before sharing the news with the rest of the public, which is what was in the press release.
