Clr2014 I also know of a couple that had already chosen the name George before Kate and William did! They were completely set on the name and had their baby just before Kate did. So they also had people assuming they had chosen it because of them!
I'm now due in just over 2 weeks which is supposedly around Kate's due date. I'm expecting a boy and have made a bet with myself that she's having a boy too, only based on her having the same symptoms etc and carrying pretty much the same as she did with George.
I'm not a Royal follower at all but will be interesting to me just because were due around the same time.

Girl - Emily or Amelia
Boy - Oliver

I doubt their choice will have any effect on popularity of the name. They will almost certainly go for something that is quite popular already. And if they do pick something a bit different, it probably won't have much effect. I expected Beatrice to take off when the Yorks' daughter was named, but it didn't. And for all the popularity of Princess Diana, very few people named babies after her.

How about something old english, like Alfred or Matilda?

Or indeed Egbert or Aethelwulf.

I'm going for my favourite, which is Winifred. It's unlikely isn't it.

Gemerama, friends of ours had a baby boy the same day as Kate and named him George. It was days later that William and Kate announced their name as George. I felt so sorry for our friends as it will forever look like they copied when in fact they announced their name first...!

PontyGirl · 03/04/2015 07:29

you say that gemerama but they actually noted that George dropped in popularity after they used it, so you never know!

My selections are

Prince Alfred
Princess Mary Elizabeth

Alfred is 66/1 which I think is tremendous value, given that Alfie is very fashionable now, and there are none currently in the RF.

ChristmasEveSteve · 02/04/2015 21:03

Charlotte Frances Elizabeth or Alice Frances Elizabeth
Phillip Arthur James or Phillip Henry James

ReggieJones · 02/04/2015 19:11

Alice or Victoria for a girl.

I think Albert or Alfred would be cool for a boy but not sure what they'll go for.

I think they're unlikely to use any first name of a living family member as a first name for this so Henry, James, Edward etc are all out. Although family names will probably feature as middle names for boy or girl.

aoife24 · 02/04/2015 19:05

I think maybe Alice for a girl, lovely, lovely name.

expatinscotland · 02/04/2015 18:38

Something dull. Just like the lot of them. Another workshy scrounger to pay for.

shakemysilliesout · 02/04/2015 18:35

Everyone seems to think this one is a girl. Media is desperate for a mini Kate.

I think Alexandra.

Rinkydinkypink · 02/04/2015 14:13

Charlotte or Alfred/Arthur.

I think this ones a girl.

PontyGirl · 02/04/2015 14:08

Jackieharris · 02/04/2015 14:04

Arthur for a boy Alice for a girl.
