To think please not Arthur

[DaveswifeDawn]

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'd love Louis!

I love Albert, I know 2 Bertie's, both of them lovely.

I think Kevin would be good. Prince Kevin.

YY to Edmund making me think of Blackadder

I think Freddie is a real possibility or Alfred.
I wouldn't rule out Arthur but think Albert is unlikely!

Louis and he could be called P-Lou

Gerhard or Ludwig as nod to their family roots

Or they could just pick the name of one of the Cambridge colleges like Emmanuel or Girton

Edward Arthur Charles.

You can thank me later.

I like Edmund, suggested earlier in the thread.

I like Albert, but because of the Prince Albert I hope they don't go for that!

I like Arthur, too, a lovely name. My granddad was called Arthur, I'm glad lots of mums today are revisiting the name.

They've used Louis and Alexander already - I was so disappointed when George wasn't an Alexander, I think it would have been a good name to use.

I don't think they'll use the name of any royal alive as that would be too confusing, and a bit unfair on someone like Edward's son if they called him James.

They might go with Michael as a middle name after Kate's father. And I think Philip might also go as a middle name after Prince Philip.

There's already a Freddie Windsor, so think that will be out.

Ernest and Alfred are other possibilities.

Undercoverbanana. Is that you Kate? :o

Arthur is a fantastic name . I think it will be either Arthur or Albert ( Bertie ) .

Stormzy JayZ Kanye Cambridge.

And why wouldn’t you?

Brian Boru is his forebear!

Themistocles Cato

CaptainCardamon - Ssshhhh - don’t blow my cover.

@Undercoverbanana would Prince Stormzy go on to have trademark issues with his name? That would be so uncouth.

I'm thinking Prince. It's a simple and a classic name. #purplereign

Brian Brexit Cambridge

I want him to be Alfred, Freddie for short. Unless they're worried about Harry Potter jokes with a Fred and a George.

Edmund as bad as Arthur.

Prince Jedward?

I've got an Albert but he's always known as Bertie, I think it's a fantastic name!

I reckon he won't be James (Kate's DB), Andrew, Edward or Charles (the last one because of Charlotte).

Arthur is horrid, I agree, but bafflingly trendy among the posh set.

Albert is rather nice, but he's not going to be that, for obvious reasons. Louis is also nice, but Edward and Sophie have a Louise, so maybe too similar.

I reckon Philip is a hot contender - maybe with Michael (her dad's name), in there somewhere.

Billies Faiers baby is called Arthur and the way she says it on the show goes through me.

YABU. I have an Arthur. It is one of the best names for a boy and very regal 👑👑👑

Not Prince Michael because of the obvious confusion with Michael Jackson’s children

I going to put Francis, with Frankie as nn out there, it's Kate's fathers middlename

Ah didn't realise there was a Frederick already.

I'm going back to Arthur then with middle names Michael Henry and James.

Arthur is a lovely name. It was considered an old person's name upto the 1980s/1990s but since then has become a very popular name

Royal babies are always named after Weasleys, so if it's not Arthur or Percy it's got to be Ronald. I'm plumping for Prince Ronald.
