I would be surprised if they used Caroline as it seems really similar to Charlotte. Plus having children with the same initial means they'll open each other's post.

Princess Catherine, known as Katie, so the press is more likely to refer to her mother as Catherine rather than Kate.

Otherwise Princess Victoria, Alice or Caroline.

Prince James, Louis or Philip.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 06/09/2017 22:54

Princess Caroline or Prince James.

Victoria
Alice
Mary

Arthur
Albert
David

Charlotte ticks several boxes, but as Earl Spencer has a young Charlotte I thought they would go for something not already taken in the family.

I got it right, but wrong order of the middle names.

Beautiful.

ChristmasEveSteve · 04/05/2015 16:04

I guessed two out of three, not bad, but I opted for Frances instead of Diana. Close though!

Anyone get it right?

ajandjjmum · 04/05/2015 15:37

I don't particularly like the name Diana, but I'm glad they included it.

Marcipex · 04/05/2015 15:19

Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.
Very nice.

IvoryMadonna · 04/05/2015 11:47

Frances was Diana's mother's name, so in effect they'd be naming her after her great-grandmother.

mathanxiety · 04/05/2015 03:09

I agree I don't think Diana will be included. Her MN was Frances however.

JoanHickson · 04/05/2015 02:16

HM clearly had no issue with Zara, Savannah and Mia.

IvoryMadonna · 04/05/2015 00:44

Thinking about the Queen and the alleged veto a bit more.

The Queen strikes me as a very sensible and down-to-earth person. I bet if she doesn't think a name is suitable, there would be a sound reason for it. I think the parents would always take her advice.

Like the Annabel story. I can imagine her saying "Do you think that's a good idea, that name is always in the gossip columns, there might be jokes and cartoons about her ..." and Andy & Fergie thinking "HM is right, perhaps it might not be the best choice after all".

Charlotte Victoria Elizabeth

JoanHickson · 03/05/2015 23:59

I just had a look on Wikipedia regarding Margaret Windsor Snowdon. It was Ann Margaret King George V vetoed in favour of the Alternative Margaret Rose.

JoanHickson · 03/05/2015 23:55

I heard Beatrice was going to be Elizabeth and The Queen said that was reserved for Charles and Dianna.

I heard The Queens ds Princess Margaret was to be Margaret Ann and that was Vetoed by the King who suggested Margaret Rose instead.

ByeByeButterfly · 03/05/2015 23:34

Alexandria.

IvoryMadonna · 03/05/2015 21:25

The Queen doesn't veto names. There was a Royal aide-type bloke on the BBC yesterday and he was asked about that. He said that the Queen was always consulted, and she would give her opinion - no different from what happens in most families, he said - but ultimately the choice of name would be down to the parents.

bamboostalks · 03/05/2015 21:22

I think Jane or Imogen.

CruCru · 03/05/2015 21:18

You know the queen gets to veto the name of she doesn't like it? I think either princess Beatrice or Eugenie was going to be Annabel but the Queen said it was the name of a nightclub so they had to think again.

Sophronia · 03/05/2015 20:52

Alice Elizabeth Mary
Alice Elizabeth Rose
Alice Matilda Rose
Charlotte Elizabeth Alice
Charlotte Elizabeth Rose
Eleanor Charlotte Alice
Eleanor Catherine Rose
Rose Elizabeth Alice
Rose Charlotte Mary

I don't think Diana will be included.

timelyreminder · 03/05/2015 20:16

My guess is Zara Caroline Diana

LeoandBoosmum · 03/05/2015 19:57

I think she'll be Victoria, Alice or Mary with Frances, Elizabeth, philippa and Caroline as contenders for the middle names.

Tsarina1 · 03/05/2015 19:30

Matilda Elizabeth Victoria

TidyDancer · 03/05/2015 19:00

I would love to see Alexandra as the name but I think it's unlikely after George's middle name.

Charlotte Diana Elizabeth is my guess.
