Any last minute guesses as to what they will call her?

Maude.
May.
Edith.

Octavia would be fun, as he made mention of Wilfred being his sixth child - suggestion of a missing seventh could set the press off on a wild goose chase and bury all kinds of real news stories.

I can see him going for a Jilly Cooper-style English Heroine name, or something more classical Greco-Roman/Rees-Moggsian, but I'd think Carrie would want something more contemporary. Then again, she OK'd WIlfred.

Boadicea
Cressida
Dido
Guinevere
Melpomene
Pomona
Xanthe

I think they'll use Charlotte as a middle name.

@NdujaWannaDance ** "...Carrie's quite religious."

Quite religious people don't have affairs with a married man ( while their wife has cancer ).

Charlotte after his mother who died recently.

@timestheyarechanging It's just a guess, don't worry. Although I correctly predicted both Prince George and Prince Louis's names, so we'll see Grin. Seriously though, I don't think it will be Bronte. I think they'll go for something more traditional

I think something like Ottilie, Octavia, Mabel, Dorothy, Iris, Tabitha, Edith, Florence. With Charlotte for a middle name.

@jacaranda
Wondering why you're suggesting Brontë as that's my daughter's name and I'd hate for her to be connected to this government?

Lia or Leah

Glassofshloer · 09/12/2021 16:50

Something like Edith, Martha, Clara or Lillian

Onlinedilema · 09/12/2021 16:23

I think it will be something horribly old fashioned like their son's name. Sorry to anyone with a Wilfred but it's awful. Middle name maybe Caroline as that's her real name, or Alexandra as his real name is Alexander.

[quote Dollywilde]**@Lucyinthesky07* @Rbaby* I wondered about Clementine too, after Churchill's wife maybe.

TBH I'm just praying it's not our DD1's name, because we're due DC2 in May. And if DC2 is a boy he'll be Wilfred. I could just stomach having one kid share a name with Boris's, but I can't be doing with the sibset.[/quote]
A dear friend of mine had a daughter and named her Florence Rose, I know she had planned on using these names since we were at school. Weeks later David Camerons latest offspring was named the same. She was a bit gutted.

ladygindiva · 09/12/2021 16:17

McKayla

MeanMrMustardSeed · 09/12/2021 16:14

Didn’t even know she is pregnant. Don’t know how I missed this as I follow news and politics quite closely!

NoFitStateMum · 09/12/2021 16:08

Priti

Araminta

Margaret (Peggy)

Tabitha

@Jacaranda75

Maybe something Catholic? Carrie is quite religious, I think?
Aye. Sure she is.
user1493494961 · 09/12/2021 15:25

Clementine Charlotte.

Dollywilde · 09/12/2021 15:02

@midsomermurderess

Maybe they can get Jennifer in there somewhere, after one of the nurses who looked after him when he had Covid. Their son has a middle name after a couple of the doctors.
Er, Jennifer Arcuri? I think not Grin

[quote Jacaranda75]@NdujaWannaDance Erm, they're married?[/quote]
They weren't when they had the first kid together, & she had an affair with him while he was married to someone else Hmm
