wondered
sorry my autocarrect has a mind of it's own

clarinet9 · 04/04/2015 15:17
Blush I have just discovered I posted the same story on this thread in Sept!!

except then I suggested Henry as first name and ordered whether I had missed some bit of news about Arthur

(I also had Victoria Mary Elizabeth Rose for a girl!!)

the power of suggestion!

I LOVE Marina, currently trying desperately to make DiL call the due bab that if it's a gurrrl.
And Orlando if it's a boy.
Think we might get Brenda or Alan...

wreckingball · 04/04/2015 15:08

Alan.

wizzler · 04/04/2015 15:07

Mildred anyone ? Grin

clarinet9 · 04/04/2015 15:06

Richard is my boy wildcard
long overdue for a revival that one

Not Alexandra (too close to George's second name

I don't think they will use Victoria and Elizabeth in one name, although i like them both.

clarinet9 · 04/04/2015 15:03

I don't think Louis (George's third name)
Helena would be my surprise girl choice (I think that and Alice are the only ones of Victoria's daughters not currently in use.

there was a clip I saw on the TV where they are outside the hospital showing off the baby and one of the reporters (sounds like Brit one and I gather he follows them around a lot -tough job- (not!) anyway he calls out something along the lines of 'so tell us William are you going to call hime George?' and William basically blushes and stutters 'wait and see' or similar.

It wasn't shown at the time but it was so obvious that they were going to call him George when you saw it!

So I am going for Alice Victoria Mary (with Helena as my wildcard) or Arthur Charles Henry for a boy
I think it will be a girl and born on April 21, 23 or 29!

Blueskies80 · 04/04/2015 14:51

Just read up the thread, maybe not Albert then, haha!
Arthur is my prediction for a boy, then.

almapudden · 04/04/2015 14:47

Apparently when Diana was pregnant with William she favoured what were then 'Sloaney' names such as Oliver and Sebastian, but was overruled by Charles/the Firm, who wanted something more traditionally 'royal'.

I think they'll go for Louis or Richard for a boy; Alice/Charlotte/Victoria for a girl.

SunnyBaudelaire · 04/04/2015 14:44

I am not mocking those names, I am mocking the royal family.

Blueskies80 · 04/04/2015 14:43

Albert for a boy or Charlotte for a girl

0ldF0x · 04/04/2015 14:40

Don't put conor in the same list as Jayden. It was the name of one of the last high kings of Ireland. Obviously K&W won't pick it but mocking conor is like mocking John. It may not be your culture, it may not be to your taste but it is as solid as it's possible for a name to be.

AnnaNimitty · 04/04/2015 14:33

Alice, Sophia or Caroline for a girl
Arthur, Alfred or Michael for a boy

BernadetteMatthews · 04/04/2015 14:07

Can't be James, that's her brothers name.

Adelaide or Arthur imo.

NormaSwilley · 04/04/2015 12:35

Another cross against Albert is that there is a reigning prince called Albert in Monaco. His wife has just had twins, called Jacques and Gabriella. I doubt many people guessed those right.

SunnyBaudelaire · 04/04/2015 12:24

B. Connor, Callum, Jayden

G. Tallulah, Chelsea, Dagenham

Titsalinabumsquash · 04/04/2015 12:21

My name (first followed by middle!) has been mentioned so many times, I'm not a fan of it, hopefully if the new baby is a princess and they use those names she'll like them more than I do Grin

MaraThonbar · 04/04/2015 12:19

Oh, Butterfly. OK.

A 'Prince Albert' is a male genital piercing, where the bar or ring is pierced from the underside of the glans to the urethral opening.

Sorry. You did ask.

Koalafications · 04/04/2015 12:17

Grin @ Prince Albert

NormaSwilley · 04/04/2015 12:09

Google "Prince Albert" and you will soon find out. Wink

ButterflyOfFreedom · 04/04/2015 11:30

Why are people saying no to Albert?
Albi or Bertie is cute and there was of course Victoria & Albert...

ButterflyOfFreedom · 04/04/2015 10:03

I was going to say Charlotte or James though have now ruled out James having found out it Kate's brothers name...
so maybe Albert.
Or Robert.

BunnyCake · 04/04/2015 08:37

Anyone know what the bookie's favourite prediction for Prince George was? Was it George?

ChristmasEveSteve · 04/04/2015 08:27

I agree, Eleanor is pretty much perfect for them. I keep seeing my daughters name mentioned, I hope they dont use it!

MythicalChicken · 04/04/2015 06:46

I just love the name Marina.

I did think Louis, but maybe that would be considered a bit political, given what happened to him?
