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!

What’s wrong with Oliver? Nice MC name for Kate’s side? Or Thomas?

Leroy is genius.

My money is on Darnell

Prince Harry is really Henry so maybe baby will have a nickname.

I'm keeping everything crossed that they're so sheltered they actually choose Albert

Prince Noel Liam Bonehead Guisgy McCarroll.

Mad for it.

It’s probably time I went to bed.

What’s wrong with Oliver?

Oliver Cromwell? Chopped off the head of a king? Remember him?

I actually put £5 on Nicholas yesterday (it's my DS's name... outs self...) because I thought it was worth a punt at 50 to 1, but I had forgotten about Nicholas Witchell. Probably won't be that then!

We want him named Prince Thor (250/1). The Queen can the Grant him the title Lord of Thunder. So it will be Prince George of Cambridge, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge and Prince Thor, Lord of Thunder!
Only fair for him to have a cool name since he will probably never get to be King.

Harry’s last name is David which is a bit different but I doubt it will be used because of the Abdication

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

Well, Victoria had a Beatrice, & Eugénie was the wife of Napoleon III, so still solid Royal names.

Zara Phillips was even more unusual - though not a princess as such of course - & I love how off-piste she & Peter Phillips have gone with theirs (Autumn being Canadian probably helps)

It would be fab if new baby could have an un-princey name but I don’t think it’s going to happen.

Well, Victoria had a Beatrice, & Eugénie was the wife of Napoleon III, so still solid Royal names

Yup - I meant under used. I think Princess Anne was allowed totally off piste as her kids are not HRH.

@Charolais ... I thought you were going to launch into a limerick there!

My money is on Arthur simply because the media were right about George and Charlotte. If it were me I would use a different name simply to prove the media wrong.

If Philip isn't used at all they will reserve it for next time- Philippa girl Philip boy.
Arthur William John?
I also have my outside bet ;)

Harry’s last name is David which is a bit different but I doubt it will be used because of the Abdication

As a pp said, Princess Margaret used David, so I don't think the abdication connection is that big a deal. The Queen herself used Edward after all.

True

Arthur is an awful name, why not James?

Thomas Richard Henry

James is boring but better than Arthur

I’m telling you it’s Richard. The Queen will go for it as Attenborough is totes her bestie.

Arthur is an awful name, why not James? The only reason I can think against James is the Gilbey and Hewitt connection.

There is Edward's son as well, but he is generally known by his title.

John Arthur Edward (Known as Jack)

wrong Attenborough

Doh!!! 🙈

Not Alfie. Think of poor Alfie Evans.

Prince Stephen
Prince David
Prince Michael
Prince Bertie

Prince Richard
Prince Frederick
Prince Victor
Prince John

In our Playmobil royal family the Duke and Duchess of Ruggington (who were married in 2011) have just had their third child. He is Prince Flavian, so maybe Flavian would be a good name... Mind you, their other two were Cornelius and Madeline, not George and Charlotte. Flavian wouldn't really go with George and Charlotte.

I think Thomas, Benjamin or Daniel.
