To think please not Arthur

It's tipped to be the new prince's name. I know we're all supposed to love old men's names but Arthur is just too awful.

Come on Kate & Will - you know you want to call him Milo or Ryan. Just do it!

I think there is an approved list so Jack is out but I agree prince Arthur is terrible

It always reminds me of On The Buses.

My money is on Donald and a certain president being thrilled to bits.

Albert?

Aprilmightbemynewname · 24/04/2018 15:16

Rogers Nelson.

Allmyshilldren · 24/04/2018 15:17

Better than Albert, to be fair.

whatshappening1 · 24/04/2018 15:17

I think Arthur or Albert will be great names, not long to wait now though

Luckingfovely · 24/04/2018 15:17

I'm amazed Albert is so hotly predicted.

Surely they can't call him Prince Albert??

HildaZelda · 24/04/2018 15:17

Agree. Arthur is definitely an old mans name. James would be nice but I think Edward's son is already called that?

Shadow666 · 24/04/2018 15:17

I like James, but James and George may be too similar.

Daffodildainty · 24/04/2018 15:18

I likle Arthur. What about Jayden ?

Jaylabelle · 24/04/2018 15:20

I think Arthur's a great name, and would go well with George and Charlotte.

Shadow666 · 24/04/2018 15:20

I’m thinking Thomas or Richard or Gaylord.

MrsJayy · 24/04/2018 15:21

I suggested Albert yesterday and somebody had to explain to me that it wasn't the best AND what a prince Albert was Blush I have clearly led a sheltered life

MrsJayy · 24/04/2018 15:23

Yes Edward and Sophie's son is James I wonder if they will go for Charles or Phillip ?

DGRossetti · 24/04/2018 15:24

Why not Al fred ?

ILookedintheWater · 24/04/2018 15:24

I love Arthur! One of the boys in our village is called Arthur and he's adorable.

It will be Louis, mark my words.

YoThePussy · 24/04/2018 15:26

Yes Alfred, Prince Alfie would be great.

The80sweregreat · 24/04/2018 15:27

Reminds me of 'MInder' - a very old drama / comedy series. the main guy was called Arthur Daley and was pronounced 'rthur' without an A!

LaurieMarlow · 24/04/2018 15:27

I think it's going to be one of Arthur/Albert/Alfred. And I hate all of them.

Off to google what a Prince Albert is. Blush

MrsJayy · 24/04/2018 15:27

I think George has Louis in his name but I like it as a first name

sunshinesupermum · 24/04/2018 15:27

MrsJayy I must also have lived a sheltered life - what's wrong with naming the baby Prince Albert???
