They might honour male family if this ones a boy...

Prince First Name Charles Michael Henry Mountbatten Windsor

Umm will think about it.
Not James because of the I/VI thing.
Not Alexandra George has Alexander for his second name so they have done for that now.

Elizabeth/Victoria/Mary/Rose were all popular last time and all good starts and of course Diana will try and come up with an order.

AllMimsyWereTheBorogoves · 08/09/2014 14:20

Not James because the last King James was deposed, so I think it's regarded as bad luck for them now.

Probably not William as that would be a bit odd.

Not David because that was Edward VIII's name, and not Edward either because he has tainted that name too.

I'll go for Prince Arthur or Prince Louis.

Princess Alice or Princess Elizabeth or (just possibly) Princess Margaret. Leonie is nice too.

I go for Alexandra (seems to be a bit of a favourite on here!), and Arthur.

Auntiestella- wow that OP did well on her first guess! Grin

CruCru · 08/09/2014 14:15

Prince Alexander (although I think this is one of George's middle names)
Princess Alice (it was the name of one of Queen Victoria's daughters).

I don't think they'll use Elizabeth or Philip unless one of them dies between now and the birth.

Montsti · 08/09/2014 14:13

Last time I guessed George or Charlotte/Alexandra.

I'll stick with Charlotte or Alexandra. For boys I'd go for Albert. Hope it's a girl though!

BreeVDKamp · 08/09/2014 13:27

Oh I reeeeeally hope they don't go for Adelaide :( I want it to remain as uncommon as poss haha.

Princess Charlotte
Princess Something Diana

Price Arthur would be cool!

Username12345 · 08/09/2014 13:21

Prince(ss) Spare.

MummyBeerest · 08/09/2014 13:19

Alfred...sooo desperately want a King Alfie.

And...Alice for a girl. For no particular reason.

A nostalgic look back to predictions past here:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/the_royal_family/1085541-who-wants-to-speculate-on-willkats-first-childs-name

This time, I'd go for Alexandra (other candidates: Charlotte, Adelaide, Isabella, Victoria) or Richard (Stephen, John).

Not James as it's her brother.

Thinkivebeenhacked Grin !

Middleagedmotheroftwo · 08/09/2014 13:11

Princess Elizabeth
Princess Victoria

Prince Philp
Prince Charles

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 08/09/2014 13:10

Alice or Thomas.

I think the pressure to pick a "traditional royal" name eases somewhat if they are further down the list of succession. DC6 will be Kaiden.

FoodieMum3 · 08/09/2014 13:09

Let's resurrect this thread when the baby is born!

Princess Alexandra
Prince Albert

nannyj · 08/09/2014 12:41

Princess Elizabeth
Can't think do a boys name yet.
