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.

Isn't Kate's middle name Elizabeth?
So for a commoner she has got the appropriate royal names, Catherine Elizabeth, so therefore has fitted in quite well. I dont think William would have married her if she was called Chantelle or Chardonay!

Carole could get the royal makeovet & become Caroline.

Charles will be privately pleased if it is a boy because of the succession issue. He wasn't keen on the big rush to allow his future granddaughter to succeed & technically take the ' throne out of the house of windsor'.

ivykaty Yes, but the monarchy was restored and he returned to reign, so it's not as though he was deposed for ever.

I think everyone would find it very weird if Charles changed his name, since we have always known him as Charles. I can't think of any good reason why he should want to reign as George and I don't think he will.

Charlotte Elizabeth Frances (I've just found out Catherine's Father's middle name is Francis so it has to be a contender)

Not sure about the first name for a boy but i think other names could be.......William Louis Francis

changeling1234 · 10/06/2013 22:47

Boy - John
Girl - Charlotte

mrspaddy · 10/06/2013 22:44

Would they really go for Mary? I suppose there is a bit of history with it. I will still go for it as it has a special meaning for us.
Whatever they chose, I think they will be lovely parents. It is not easy for them with the media in their face all the time.

rockybalboa · 10/06/2013 22:43

Dunno but she's due on the same day as me (if the Daily Fail can be believed) and my name is Victoria so I'm expecting some major thunder stealing...

OneMoreCupOfTeaFirst · 10/06/2013 22:27

MrsPaddy, good thing you're due after, I think it will be something surprisingly simple like Jane or Mary (both really nice names).

umbrellahead · 10/06/2013 22:22

I always thought that Charles was going to be King Arthur, although it seems not!

Not sure what they will choose for the baby, possibly Edward or Alexandra.

Oubliette0292 · 10/06/2013 22:05

Mary Elizabeth Caroline Alexandra or William Phillip Henry George

mrspaddy · 10/06/2013 21:46

I hope it is not Mary.. our baby is due a few weeks after and will be Mary if it is a girl.

I don't think they will go for Francis.. would be associated with the new Pope.

aftermay · 10/06/2013 21:43

Frankee covers either sex. It's got class too.

whatagreatname · 10/06/2013 21:41

Girl - Belinda
Boy - Rupert

KenDoddsDadsDog · 10/06/2013 21:38

Louis for a boy I reckon

ivykaty44 · 10/06/2013 21:36

Kittenofdoom - Charles the 11 left England for his own safety and lived in exile with his mother

mewkins · 10/06/2013 21:07

Frances or Francis.

SerBrienne · 10/06/2013 17:37

Philip will be in there somewhere (especially if his health continues to falter).

SixPackWellies · 10/06/2013 17:35

The advantage of John is that he would be the only one in his class.

[way trendy, those Cambridges]

I like John. It was one of our alternate names for DC2 if she had been a boy.

Bowlersarm · 10/06/2013 17:35

I'm fairly certain Prince Charles will become King George.

Arthur
Sarah

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 10/06/2013 17:30

I was joking. I thought John was not used because of the reputation of John I.

TheMagicKeyCanFuckOff · 10/06/2013 17:18

Arthur George Charles or something like that.
Alice Elizabeth Ann or something.

Or maybe Aimee-Rai?

KatieScarlett2833 · 10/06/2013 17:05

Charlotte or George Smile

SixPackWellies · 10/06/2013 17:04

I think boy too.

John is nice, and it is about time for a revival I think.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 10/06/2013 16:59

John...
