Sophronia good point about Henry/Harry ( and I agree about the conservative choices and naming after close relatives) for some reason I had it in my head he was a Harry so I thought it would be a nice way of recognising him IYSWIM

I know Arthur has been used in the past but I wondered if there was something I was missing as to why it kept getting suggested it seems pretty popular on here is it becoming more common for current babies.

I had forgotten about Helena beautiful and very classic name And it gets the Greek link in!

The Danish royals gave their babies national ethnic minority middle names.

So what about a Welsh or Gaelic or Cornish middle name for the forthcoming baby?

Elizabeth.

And it will be a girl.

Kevin!

...

or Elizabeth Georgiana if it's a girl.

I'm sure lots of Rebeccas and Hannahs have visited Buckingham Palace over the years...........as servants.

Maybe they'll go a bit Euro chic royal and pick something like Marina.

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 09/09/2014 17:37

What about something like Rebecca or Hannah?

squoosh · 09/09/2014 17:32

Will and Kate don't strike me as a couple who will venture far beyond the boundaries of John and Victoria and similar standard names.

What Aurelia or Ophelia? Too 'out there' for a royal?

squoosh · 09/09/2014 17:25

No way she'll be a Sarah as long as the not so ghostly Sarah Ferguson is still on the scene, and Beatrice has been too recently used.

CherryPie3 · 09/09/2014 17:24

Nah not Beatrice, there's already a popular royal with that name Wink

PenisesAreNotPink · 09/09/2014 17:21

Henry or Arthur

Beatrice or Sarah

Stealthpolarbear · 09/09/2014 17:20

Arthur or victoria were my guesses for number one so ill stick with those

CherryPie3 · 09/09/2014 17:14

Princess Victoria
Prince Albert/Alfred

Sophronia · 09/09/2014 15:58

Clarinet9 Arthur has been used in the Royal Family before, Queen Victoria had a son called Arthur, and a grandson. I don't think William and Kate will follow the naming conventions as strictly for the second child since he/she is unlikely to be King or Queen.

I don't think they'd use Henry as it's Harry's name and they don't seem to be into naming after close relatives going by Prince George's full name.
