Eleanor would be nice, and there have been Queens called Eleanor before (though not for at least 500 years I think). Why do they always have to stick to the more recent royal names - ("recent" meaning since Queen Victoria Smile)? Eleanor is classic, has been popular again for about 25 years now, and is quite 'safe' so probably the sort of name W&K would like.

Caroline Elizabeth Diana

James charles michael

0ldF0x · 03/04/2015 22:16

yes! I think we can safely rule out Albert

Dukketeater · 03/04/2015 22:15

I'm saying Charlotte or Louis

LottieMumofWilfJenkins · 03/04/2015 21:55

Richard or David
Alice, Charlotte or Rose

MaraThonbar · 03/04/2015 21:35

I'm astonished by the number of Albert predictions.

The nation could very well die laughing at the announcement of a Prince Albert.

mathanxiety · 03/04/2015 19:33

Sort of sticking with what I said upthread:
Alice Elizabeth Caroline
Charlotte Victoria Elizabeth
Sophia Frances Margaret

Charles Christian Michael
Edward Philip Arthur
Frederick Albert John

Maybe Helena, Adelaide or Anne thrown in there. Or even Ruth or Arabella

Majestica

C0w · 03/04/2015 19:32

and I think they'd want to avoid the pressing saying that Carole had chosen the names?!

C0w · 03/04/2015 19:31

Arthur and Matilda are so Middleton . Nothing wrong with being a Middleton but they are so middle-class sounding. Arthur and Matilda are off to baby signing. Matilda is lactose intolerant. Arthur is a model for Boden you know!
they have to come up with something less self-consciously middle class than Arthur and Matilda!

eggsclamation · 03/04/2015 19:11

I think a boy will be Edward or Arthur.

A girl will be Alexandra or Victoria or possibly Alice.

Just checked - yes, one of the Duke of Kent's grandchildren is Lady Marina Charlotte Windsor (b. 1992). The DoK's mother was Princess Marina of Greece, so it's very much a family name for the Kents.

NormaSwilley · 03/04/2015 14:44

Marina Ogilvy? I think there's a Marina among the younger Kents too.

Bifald · 03/04/2015 14:34

I'd like to see them use Richard.

When Charles and Diana chose Harry/henry it was not used at all and they brought it back in to fashion. I like Richie. Georgie and Richie would be less stuffy and Royal than George and Richard.

Marina is lovely. There is a bold Royal called Marina though.

Izzy24 · 03/04/2015 12:58

Marina
Louis

NormaSwilley · 03/04/2015 12:55

I've had a quid on Richard at 40/1. The name has been in the news so they are bound to have thought of it. There is the Duke of Gloucester, but he's in his 70s and hasn't been called Prince Richard since 1974, so I doubt that would be seen as a problem.

RL20 · 03/04/2015 12:50

But his mother was Elizabeth, what does it matter? Lol Grin
There's also been suggestions of Henry (as a middle name), and one of his sons was Henry.
But I suppose you're right, I bet there is a whole list of names that they aren't allowed to use

MythicalChicken · 03/04/2015 12:47

The DM (sorry) were talking about the new 'Prince' the other day...

ChristmasEveSteve · 03/04/2015 12:45

Oliver Cromwell is not my guess by the way, is in response to the question above!

I don't think they will but I would love them to chose Richard.

ChristmasEveSteve · 03/04/2015 12:43

Oliver Cromwell...

NormaSwilley · 03/04/2015 12:43

Oliver Cromwell

RL20 · 03/04/2015 12:31

Why do you say that Norma?

NormaSwilley · 03/04/2015 12:18

There's no way they'd name him Oliver. Shock

MyDHhasnomemory · 03/04/2015 12:08

Why do you say that? They have not even announced the actual due date never mind the gender.

MythicalChicken · 03/04/2015 12:00

Prince Louis Charles Henry. It's a boy, I believe?
