I'll place my money on Shoshanna - Ladasha for a girl and Quentin - Dave for a boy. Grin

Seriously though,

Victoria or Arthur

Tsarina1 · 13/01/2015 21:39

I think it's a girl if reports are to be believed & I agree with the other posters that Matilda could be top contender. It's got the royal lineage, is a royal name used in alot of the royal households accross Europe & is solidly middle class without being OTT, I hope they use it Princess Matilda sounds lovely & so regal. Matilda & George sound like a lovely sibset.

BOFster · 13/01/2015 21:35

Ah, I see Blondie has beat me to Matilda and Frederick. We'll split the prize then, yes? You can have 75%, but if I get the middle names right then I will Grin.

BOFster · 13/01/2015 21:32

Or maybe Matilda Diana Rose. I don't think they'll put Caroline and Diana together.

BOFster · 13/01/2015 21:30

I'm going for Matilda Caroline Diana and Frederick Arthur James.

newrecruit · 13/01/2015 21:27

Please not Arthur. I was terrified the last time.

I have one and it will become really popular Confused

Artandco · 13/01/2015 21:23

Leopold Arthur James

Or

Margot Leonora Diana

BabyX · 13/01/2015 21:13

First time around I thought Arthur or Alice. I'm sticking with those for baby no 2. K&W strike me as being very middle class at heart so they go with a nice safe well-known name which also has royal references.

Mary

mrstowers · 12/09/2014 13:06

Princess Rose
Prince Frederick (Freddie)

helensburgh · 11/09/2014 20:16

Arthur for a boy

Charlotte Elizabeth for a girl

LynetteScavo · 11/09/2014 20:14

I thought she became a nun...

Alice
It will be a girl.

mathanxiety · 11/09/2014 19:32

Alice was the name of the D of E's mother too. She ended up in a Swiss sanatorium after being diagnosed with schizophrenia but recovered (so the diagnosis may or may not have been accurate) and for her activities in Athens during WW2 saving Jews from the Nazis she was honoured by Israel. She also got involved in some capacity with the Greek Orthodox church.

Charlotte Mary Frances
Richard Michael Charles

cowbiscuits · 11/09/2014 13:19

I think I may be due roughly round the same time as Kate (are they saying mid-late April?). If she steals my baby name I'll be fuming.

Marcipex · 11/09/2014 08:43

Rose Elizabeth

Blondiemama · 11/09/2014 06:52

Prince Frederick/ Alfred

Princess Matilda

mathanxiety · 10/09/2014 19:07

There was an Alice who was the second of Victoria's children.

Are you thinking of Nerissa and Katherine Bowes Lyon? They are cousins of QE2.

Prince John, brother to Albert (George VI) and 'David' (Edward VIII) , had epilepsy and possibly autism, and lived away from the rest of the family in his own little house Sad at Sandringham with servants until he died at a young age.

googietheegg · 10/09/2014 18:53

Wasn't there a princess Alice of the queen's generation that was disabled and hidden away? I don't suppose the royal family would want to be reminded of how they treated her...

mathanxiety · 10/09/2014 18:18

William has a cousin James too...

So - Philip Arthur Christian

Mammanat222 · 10/09/2014 16:45

They aren't going to use James (think of the James Hewitt link) also Kate's brother is James.

(I did my research when first was born as I didn't want them to use my son's name!!)

Elizabeth is too current, I think they'll go back a few generations. Maybe something like Helena?

I am going to go for Henry or Helena

bouncingbelle · 10/09/2014 12:10

I'm convinced it'll be Arthur for a boy.

Eleanor Elizabeth for a girl.

Vintagejazz · 10/09/2014 12:07

Haven't a clue but if I was Kate I might consider Elizabeth shortened to Eliza or Beth for everyday use. Helena and Alice are lovely as well.

florascotia · 10/09/2014 11:46

Meant to add to message-before-last that a middle name from any ethnic community in the UK or indeed Commonwealth would be just as good as a Welsh, Gaelic, Cornish one.

florascotia · 10/09/2014 11:44

One of Queen Victoria's daughters was called Helena.
