The Alexandra thread has made me wonder what their latest baby may be called.

Girl:
Anne/Anna
Eleanor
(Can't have Georgina Grin)
Mary
Clara

Boy:
(Not Charles because of Charlotte)
Arthur
They already have a young relative called James.
Peter
Albert
Edward
Michael (although that"s grandad's name)

Margot
Maggie/Margaret

Rupert

Sevendown · 11/12/2017 22:42

With a 3rd they can be a bit more out there than the first 2 just like princess Anne was with hers.

I don’t think anyone in 1981 predicted Zara!

Eg
Matilda
Maud
Louisa
Dorothy

David
Michael
Robert

Catherine or William could be a middle name.

RavenWings · 11/12/2017 19:51

Jayden/ Kayden/ Brayden or Lilli-Mae/Tilli-Rae etc. MN would EXPLODE. Grin

toffee1000 · 11/12/2017 19:38

I like the idea of Princess Shaniqua, it’s got a nice ring to it Grin

RichmondAvenue · 11/12/2017 19:36

Shaniqua
Shakira
Kylie

toffee1000 · 11/12/2017 19:19

James could be a middle name, it’s also the name of Prince Edward’s son.

ZaZathecat · 11/12/2017 19:12

My money's on Darren or Doreen.

RichmondAvenue · 11/12/2017 19:06

Alice
Frances
Mary
Sarah
Victoria

Albert
Arthur
Edward
Francis
Peter
Paul

Alice Frances Mary
Arthur James Francis

Tortadellanonna · 11/12/2017 18:32

Philip or Alexander
Alice or Victoria

Rainbowandraindrops67 · 11/12/2017 18:28

Kate’s brother is James - I think that rules it out!

UsernameInvalid66 · 11/12/2017 18:27

I think it will be Alice or James. I don't think the existence of William's cousin James (who will be 10 years older than this baby) necessarily rules out James, plus it's in her family too.

SilverUnicorn · 11/12/2017 18:13

Boy- Albert or Arthur

Girl- Alice or Mary

Puremince · 11/12/2017 16:55

George Alexander Louis
Charlotte Elizabeth Diana

and

Alice Victoria Caroline or
Sophia Alice Victoria

Frederick Philip James or
Arthur Philip James

toffee1000 · 10/12/2017 21:02

Elizabeth is a v v common name/middle name though let’s be honest GrinGrinGrin
Even though they’re already the first names of Prince Edward’s children, Louise and James could be used as middle names.

rosy71 · 10/12/2017 20:57

Both Catherine and her mother have the middle name Elizabeth.

I think some sort of combination of Alice Victoria Phillippa Caroline for a girl. Philip and Michael will be in there for a boy as middle names.

SaturndayNight · 10/12/2017 20:54

Charlotte is Pippa's middle name.
Elizabeth is Kate's own middle name.

howthelightgetsin · 10/12/2017 20:50

The names they have already just honour William’s family, which I find odd since they’re so close to Kate’s and in that respect are doing things quite differently. So I wonder if the third, who has basically almost no chance of becoming the monarch, might have a name from her family? Still a traditional name.
Caroline maybe, for Carol.
Charlotte (for Charles) Diana Elizabeth... I mean you can understand why for each of those names but where does her side get a look in?

allegretto · 10/12/2017 20:22

My guess is Alice or Frederick.

Sevendown · 10/12/2017 20:20

The queen mum wasn’t a born royal though.

ClashCityRocker · 10/12/2017 09:24

I think William Jr for a not-that-likely to be king third born.

Not charles, because of Charlotte.

Sophia or Victoria for a girl.

Angela and Marguerite were the Queen Mum's middle names.
