Do you think they'll go super traditional or modern like her bro's kids (savannah and Isla iirc?)

Has there been no news yet?

MsJJones · 21/01/2014 12:03

They probably wanted to call her Poppy but are now trying to come up with something else!

Olympia.

I don't think Edward is entitled to become Duke of Edinburgh, but that an understanding has been reached that it would be passed on him, following the death of his father.

Mark Phillips was offered a title, which would have meant that his DC would have titles too, but turned it down. Not like Lord Snowden, who was given his title on his marriage to Princess Margaret, which meant their children had royal titles.

Really must do some work!

I reckon Poppy could be an option, but I think Alice or Charlotte would be great :) royal connotation but nothing too 'posh' or royal. I think there is also sensibility behind them having certain names they can't touch for Kate and Wills future children - definitely no Elizabeth, Diana or Carole for Zara and Mike. I hope that if they like Phillipa they can use it despite P Middy Grin

Matilda

NakedTigarCub · 20/01/2014 08:31

Linda or Zoe!

No idea, Merry-although I see he has Theo as one of his middle names.

Perhaps they wanted Theo & it was thought of as a nickname?

Edward's an Earl atm isn't he?

Will become Duke of Edinburgh when both the Queen & Prince Philip are deceased?

Ikeameatballs · 19/01/2014 21:32

Honor

Butterfly82 · 19/01/2014 21:29

Maybe Grace, Annabella or Amelia

MerryWinterfel · 19/01/2014 20:09

*Zara I mean.

MerryWinterfel · 19/01/2014 20:07

Phoebe Zara Anne

Verity Zarah Anne

Really diddl? Do you know why? Is there an axe murdering great cousin or something?

Solo · 19/01/2014 01:59

Hannah.

greeneyes1978 · 19/01/2014 01:29

Alexandra I reckon.

BumpNGrind · 19/01/2014 00:44

I remember reading that Prince Charles suggested the name Zara because it means 'bright as the dawn' and due to the timing of her birth, he thought that it would suit her. I think she has a lovely name and it'll be interesting to see if her daughter will have a name in the same thread.

My guess is that it's going to be an accessible posh name, something like Charlotte or Libby. Nothing too out of the ordinary.

Bet she's gutted that Pippa is on the scene - Phillipa means 'lover of horses'

Jbck · 18/01/2014 21:35

Ooh I like Daisy, never thought of the Margaret shortening.

MyNameIsKenAdams · 18/01/2014 21:26

I dont think Poppy is dull at all. Beautiful flower too.

UKAS · 18/01/2014 21:25

I always thought Anne chose not to have titles for her DC. The Queen can bestow them as she sees fit, can't she? So it didn't matter that they didn't inherit one from their father.

This whole thing makes me feel very old. On Guide camp one year our patrol names were all "Royals". We chose Zara who was a new baby at the time....I was very interested in the new baby and am sure I remember thinking Princess Anne was selfish silly not to let her daughter be a princess (or whatever she would have been)

Practicalpam · 18/01/2014 21:18

I hope she keeps with the Z and goes for Zilla/Zillah.

YoMamma · 18/01/2014 20:58

Anne's children weren't entitled to titles because they are the children of a daughter of the monarch and their father had no titles to pass on. See here. Edward's children are styled as the children of a duke rather than a prince. I think that was his choice. Not sure why I know these pointless facts....

Eugenie has royal connections. Princess Victoria Eugenie was the daughter of Princess Beatrice who was the daughter of Queen Victoria.
She was brought up in Queen Victoria's household, and had a pretty eventful life:

Isn't Eugenie an old aristocratic name?

When do you think they'll announce it?

I'd be disappointed with Poppy, bit dull IMO.
