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.

What about Helena too? Very classic and one of Victoria's daughters was called that.

Northernlurker · 13/06/2013 00:11

I think Victoria Diana Mary would be nice

Also Charlotte Elizabeth

I hope it's a girl. That would be fab. Charles would be so pleased. It's one of the things that's been nicest about the whole Wills getting married thing - that Charles plainly loves having a daughter (in law) in the family.

Would you stop with the Adelaide stuff.

As if they're going to call her that!

KittenofDoom · 13/06/2013 00:01

Nom I know it's not pronounced the same, but I always see the word in the name.

LemonBreeland · 12/06/2013 22:21

For some reason for ages I've thought Alexandra if it's a girl. I don't have a boys name shouting at me though.

NomDeClavier · 12/06/2013 22:14

But it's not Adelaide in French, it's Adelaïde - which means there's no ugly connotations. But good pony about the Australian DJs and that poor nurse.

KittenofDoom · 12/06/2013 21:13

I don't care for the "laide" in Adelaide either, because it's French for ugly Shock

Could use another form though - Adele, Adeline, Adelina ...

reelingintheyears · 12/06/2013 19:12

Ophelia Fanny for a girl.

Winston Obadiah for a boy

You heard it here first. Grin

OneMoreCupOfTeaFirst · 12/06/2013 19:10

what are Edward's children called? is it Louise and John? or Louise and James? does somebody have an Alice?

hollyisalovelyname · 12/06/2013 19:03

Also I'm sure they don't want an Australian connection in view of the 2 Australian dj's and the tragedy that ensued.

xigris · 12/06/2013 16:50

Girl - Charlotte
Boy - James

But really I'm holding out for Princess Chardonnay or Prince Wayne Grin

FobblyWoof · 12/06/2013 16:44

I don't see them considering Adalaide purely because of the Australian connotations and Australia have made no secret of their plan to become an independent state once the queen dies.

I didn't know it was a royal name either, thanks for the info kitten

Wishfulmakeupping · 12/06/2013 16:42

Frances Elizabeth not sure about boys maybe George

spatchcock · 12/06/2013 16:40

Sharon for a girl
Kevin for a boy

aftermay · 12/06/2013 15:59

So I guess Stringfellows out of the question as well.

hollyisalovelyname · 12/06/2013 14:40

I had considered Annabel but dm and mil said 'you can't name her after a nightclub'

OneMoreCupOfTeaFirst · 12/06/2013 11:56

oh yeah, the nightclub would have capitalised on that shamelessly too I'm sure.

I don't see the name being Adelaide myself.... the Laide at the end puts me off terribly.

KittenofDoom · 12/06/2013 11:51

Yes, apparently the Queen put them off Annabel because of the nightclub. I don't know that she actually has a veto, I think its more a matter of advising against names that might not suit for one reason or another.

Mortified Adelaide comes from Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, queen consort of William IV. Would have been Adelheid in her native Germany, but was anglicised and the city of Adelaide was named after her.

Bue · 12/06/2013 11:25

I think it was Beatrice that they wanted to name Annabel. No dice.

choirmum · 12/06/2013 11:19

I reckon Charlotte for a girl with Elizabeth and Frances as middle names, and James for a boy with Michael and Charles as middle names. Think it's a girl myself (no evidence, just a gut feeling).

eminemmerdale · 12/06/2013 11:12

George would be cool (ds name Grin )

bornagaindomesticgoddess · 12/06/2013 11:10

Can we get a Mumsnet prize if we guess right? Grin

bornagaindomesticgoddess · 12/06/2013 11:09

Lizzie Diana or Louis Henry.

Wallison · 12/06/2013 10:45

Boy - Kye

Girl - Teagan

Goldenhandshake · 12/06/2013 10:41

Oh I just googled and apparently it was Annabel, I think they should have told old Queenie to piss off Grin
