A few people have suggested Diana will be in there if its a girl but I disagree, though Spencer might make a.nice MN for a boy.

I think Margaret Alice or George Spencer.

Crown Princess Victoria married her personal trainer.

mrstowers · 25/06/2013 13:21

Frederick or Isabella

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden named her daughter Estelle, which was without precedent and came as a big surprise to all. So you never know.

I am grateful for being able to.choose my childs name with only DHs opinion. Imagine if she has always wanted to call her son Frank or her daughter Chloe. Sad that she cant.

Whichever they choose (or has been decided ) I really am hoping for something less obvious and traditional (ie Charles or Albert, and not Elizabeth or Victoria etc). Something not too out there, but perhaps

Felix or i don't know Gabriel for a boy

Mary or Eleanor for a girl would be nice, or perhaps Harriet...

Fifi2406 · 23/06/2013 23:56

Won't be Henry as that's Harry's proper name

hollyisalovelyname · 23/06/2013 23:37

Perhaps Henry if a boy?

elvisola · 19/06/2013 22:03

I reckon a boy called Alexander Charles Phillip Spencer

KittenofDoom · 19/06/2013 16:45

Anybody can choose to be known by any name they choose, and monarchs are no exception.

NomDeClavier · 19/06/2013 09:01

Absolutely math - Victoria'a given name was Alexandrina.

mathanxiety · 18/06/2013 19:41

Would a girl be able to adopt a regnal name as a boy can?

Pyrrah · 18/06/2013 12:06

My guesses:

Girl:
First name - Matilda, Victoria or Charlotte
Middles - Elizabeth, Caroline, Diana

Boy:
First name - Edward, Arthur, George or Richard
Middles - Charles, Michael, Philip, Louis

hollyisalovelyname · 17/06/2013 14:05

Elinor ( william's great grandmother was Cynthia Elinor)

hollyisalovelyname · 17/06/2013 13:56

I forgot that you have to imagine a girl's name with Queen before it!!!
Queen Alice- no
Queen Diana- no
Queen Caroline??
Difficult

Interesting mythumbs I see wallis is on at 250 to one. I can't believe people would waste their money! Terry is on the list too. Does that mean that at least one foolish person put money on it being Terry? My own name is on, but the odds aren't ridiculous.

GobbySadcase · 17/06/2013 11:05

AnotherLovelyCupOfCoffee · 17/06/2013 11:03

Taylor and Chardonnay were suggested on page one!

FreedomOfTheTess · 17/06/2013 10:44

A fiver on Chardonnay anyone?!

MyThumbsHaveGoneWeird · 17/06/2013 10:41

Anothercup here you go

AnotherLovelyCupOfCoffee · 17/06/2013 09:04

I think it could be Mary. Mary is a royal name, but it's not one of a Queen in recent history so it's a name a child could make her own. I could see Kate pushing for something simple like Mary or Jane. Obviously not Mary Jane together :-p

Mary Elizabeth is my bet. There, if I have to put down a fiver I'm putting it on Mary Elizabeth Diana. Maybe Caroline will be a subsequent dd's middle name.

bugsybill · 17/06/2013 04:00

Maybe making history that should be not will

bugsybill · 17/06/2013 03:51

I hope it is not going to be overly 'heavy' and traditional like Elizabeth, Victoria, Henry, Charles, Alexander, Frederick, William etc

I would love to see a little future King Jasper, Thomas or Felix.

Girls I would like to see something not too feminine as I thinki it would be nice to have a strong female name as she will be making history when she becomes Queen.

Maybe a little future Queen Helen, Claire, Mary or Ellen/Eleanor.

mathanxiety · 17/06/2013 01:08

Oblique is good enough for the present royals to be considered royal. It's the weddings that make all the difference

Yellowtip · 16/06/2013 21:35

I can't imagine it would be Mary for a moment Freedom, I think you're safe!

FreedomOfTheTess · 16/06/2013 20:12

Edward's son is James, his daughter is Louise.

As long as it isn't Mary - the name of my newborn daughter - I don't really care!
