OK apparently the bambino/a could be making an appearance in the very near future. What are your thoughts? Rather than long lists of names please choose your “most likely” names for a boy and a girl.

Boy: Leo

Girl: Francesca

Girl and boy twins

Frances/Francesca Elizabeth and Charles Philip

I read (in the trashy tabloids admittedly) that they were planning on raising their children gender neutral so why would they go with a gendered name? I'm revaluating to something like:

Billy
Charley
Drew
August
Jay
Francis

I won't say exactly but think of how storms are named and you won't be far off.

Cbeebiesrehab · 06/04/2019 20:55

Polar I’m VERY intrigued by your son’s name now🤔😂

Twisique · 06/04/2019 20:41

IF they are avoiding the names of living royals then Alexandra and Frederick are off the list.

polarpig · 06/04/2019 18:52

@Loki you could always not tell people the name for a week to give them a chance to have their baby and announce the name? this won't make you popular

Failing that you can change the name during the first year. My son has a name which I love but which would have been very different if he'd been born a week later. We had to put up with muppets suggesting he was named after an event that happened a week after he was born even though we had already announced his name on the day he was born.

Penelope or Arthur

Lokidokiartichoki · 06/04/2019 18:25

I’m just hoping she hurry’s up and has the baby before I have mine so I can name mine safely in the knowledge it’s not the same name (presuming we have the same sex)

YahBasic · 06/04/2019 17:32

I’ve had a recurring dream that she’s having a girl called Eleanor, but known as Elle.

It’s happened about 5/6 times now!

AnnieMay100 · 06/04/2019 17:27

Girl Alexandra, Victoria, Rosaline, Josephine, Bethany, Emily, Harriette, Olivia
Boy Albert, Alexander, Charles, Frederick, Jack, Michael, Richard, Stanley
Or they could surprise us and go with something like Tyrone, gucci, Queenie, porcha, jezebel, Simba, West London...

youarenotkiddingme · 06/04/2019 12:07

Frederick (Freddie) for a boy

Eleanor (Ellie) for a girl.

I also think they'll go traditional but more laid back.

I did think they may go for Charles (Charlie) but Wills already did that with Charlotte. In fact she's the one that has the current family names in all 3 of hers.

Perhaps Philip will appear in the boy somewhere?

Stinkytoe · 06/04/2019 11:24

Maybe they’ll make a reference to suits

Harvey for a boy, Jessica for a girl?

polarpig · 06/04/2019 11:23

Shanti for a boy
Saffron for a girl

if they want to go left field

Petalflowers · 06/04/2019 10:47

Rachel

Alexander

breadzeb · 06/04/2019 10:45

Oh bread! Based on appearances Harry is more Charles’ than William!

Oh. Joke!

AdaColeman · 06/04/2019 10:45

Ellie-Mae Gloriana
Jethro Albert

Stinkytoe · 06/04/2019 10:45

Oh bread! Based on appearances Harry is more Charles’ than William!

kimlo · 06/04/2019 10:43

Alexander Phillip Albert
Albert Phillip Alexnder

Victoria Alice Diana
Alexandria Diana Jane

I don't think the first name will be the same as anyone who is living.

breadzeb · 06/04/2019 10:42

I think a boy could feature Charles, Harry seems close to his Dad

GrinGrinGrin

Maybe James will be included then

HoraceCope · 06/04/2019 10:37

Ophelia
Hamish

Stinkytoe · 06/04/2019 10:34

I also think they’ll use Diana but I think a boy could feature Charles, Harry seems close to his Dad and by all accounts he’s been very welcoming to Meghan.

First name I think will be a bit more unusually. More along the Phillips offspring line!

TurquoiseDress · 06/04/2019 10:32

I think it's going to be a girl who they will call Victoria!

polarpig · 06/04/2019 04:44

Unless the Queen decides otherwise the baby won't be a prince or princess as far as I know. She/he is unlikely to ever be the monarch so they have more freedom than William and Kate had.

Duane.
Diesel.
Brandon.

Chardonnay.
Mercedes.
