I'm sure there has been many threads on this already.. read this morning that Mary is the hot favorite for girl & Henry for a boy.
Love Mary hope they use it, Princess Mary nice, fresh & underused, would be nice for Mary to have a comeback. Alice next at 6/1, prefer Mary.

Has anyone suggested Tupac? Must be a front runner Grin

I vote Frederick Arthur James (Freddie).

Selkie was Oliver Cromwell worse than Henry VIII ?
The Irish would certainly think so. He and his army decimated parts of Ireland.
He is a reviled figure in Irish history.

I wonder if they may re-use one of George's names? Alexander possibly? One of Prince Andrew's middle names is Edward.

CatkinToadflax · 25/04/2018 10:47

I'm going with Arthur Philip Somethingorother....Philip would be a nod to Kate's family as well as Duke of Ed (I assume Pippa is actually Philippa, or if not, it's still a Philip-y sort of name).

King Leopold in Ben And Holly was hilarious - he was just the annoying big gnome with the Rinky Dinky Doo song for ages and then in one episode randomly produced his King Leopold crown from under his gnome hat! Brilliant! Grin

There's a Prince Vince well Prins Vincent, sounds wrong to me.

SelkieUnderLand · 25/04/2018 07:16

Was oliver cromwell worse than Henry the 8th? yes I guess he was.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 25/04/2018 06:51

Don’t think the royals can use Oliver because of Oliver Cromwell.

AgathaRaisonDetra · 25/04/2018 06:43

Vlad.

Prince Oliver sounds ok

Or Prince Vince!

trueblueari · 24/04/2018 20:02

They announced George and Charlotte's 2 days after the birth. So we should find out tomorrow!

SelkieUnderLand · 24/04/2018 20:00

George's middle name is Louis so they've used that one up

TheDowagerCuntess · 24/04/2018 19:57

I'm pretty sure it was days after.

SelkieUnderLand · 24/04/2018 19:54

I wish they'd announce it! Did they announce George and Charlotte's names the day after their births?

trueblueari · 24/04/2018 19:50

There is a King Leopold on Ben and Holly. He is the big gnome Grin
I don't know why but that's really tickled me, I'm sitting here giggling getting funny looks from DD.
Maybe they'll call him Thistle.

KateMiddletonsOtherMum · 24/04/2018 19:47

Gary. His name is Prince Gary

SelkieUnderLand · 24/04/2018 19:45

Leo is lovely! A pope's name but as a short name for Leopold they might be allowed.

SelkieUnderLand · 24/04/2018 19:41

No, they'd never choose an Irish name. Patrick perhaps? Not Oscar though, I can't see that.

morphyrichards99 · 24/04/2018 16:09

Oscar is popular with European royalty, Prince Oscar sounds nice although not typically British

Sunnymeg · 24/04/2018 15:48

I wonder if it could be Leopold to be known as Leo. Traditional royal name with a modern twist?

LexieLulu · 24/04/2018 12:23

I'm thinking Oliver or Thomas

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 24/04/2018 10:59

Francis is horrible.

eloisesparkle · 24/04/2018 10:42

Francis

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 24/04/2018 09:06

I was thinking James but why not something like Oliver or Sebastian?

snewname · 24/04/2018 09:00

Ah well if George and Charlotte like Ben and Holly, I may well be right Grin
