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!

Mike Prince Caspian! Genius!

I met a baby Gary recently, it's clearly quite the thing

meddie · 24/04/2018 22:07

Nigel or Bruce

PistFump · 24/04/2018 22:09

NOT Milo thank you!!! I'm expecting a Milo on Friday!!

Gareth is a mighty fine Welsh name. One of the Knights of the Round Table.

Gareth Cambridge. Good bloke. Always buys his round.

AgathaRaisonDetra · 24/04/2018 22:10

Milo is Australian Ovaltine.

SevenStones · 24/04/2018 22:13

Malcolm, Duncan or Macbeth Grin

MissEliza · 24/04/2018 22:17

I hate the name Arthur but it would make that Sun photographer guy so happy if they chose that name Grin.

MrsDylanBlue · 24/04/2018 22:22

Steven

NonnoMum · 24/04/2018 22:23

Oliver.

Apparently Princess Diana wanted that for one of her boys but it wasn't approved. Be nice if they could use that...

NonnoMum · 24/04/2018 22:23

Michael?

NonnoMum · 24/04/2018 22:24

But I would LOVE LOVE LOVE if they chose Barack.

SevenStones · 24/04/2018 22:26

I'd love for them to keep going, have another girl and call her Matilda.

They're never going to be allowed to use Oliver, surely!

LouHotel · 24/04/2018 22:27

There's an approved list!!

You would think with the third child they could have a bigger say over the name of the baby they created.

MrsDylanBlue · 24/04/2018 22:28

Can’t they add some new names to the tired old “approved” list.

If Fergie did one good thing for the Royal Family she hunted out some unusual names from that list.

ivenoideawhatimdoing · 24/04/2018 22:29

I don't think it will be Arthur, far too popular! I'd go Edward personally, but with it being William's Uncle who knows!

goose1964 · 24/04/2018 22:29

Aethelred

5foot5 · 24/04/2018 22:30

but I don't think they will as it would mean there are two Prince Philips

But not for long surely, he is about 97 isn't he?

I bet it will be Philip

wtffgs · 24/04/2018 22:32

Jason, Derek, Clive, Norman, Archie, Graham, Norris, Morris, Boris...... um, maybe not Grin

MikeUniformMike · 24/04/2018 22:33

Why thank you AlbertaSimmons, the other name I thought of was a bit too Kim'n'Kanye. Charming Cambridge does have a ring to it though (as does Prince Albert)

EachandEveryone · 24/04/2018 22:34

Arthur us unbelievably popular

bluebell34567 · 24/04/2018 22:34

Philip Edward

Charolais · 24/04/2018 22:34

I know an old man called Milo.

LJdorothy · 24/04/2018 22:35

David Robert Alexander James..covers many many years of Scottish royalty

PrimalLass · 24/04/2018 22:36

I like Arthur
