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!

James is her brother but she can’t nick all the family names from Pippa

Kevin

Seamus

Wayne

Arthur is a lovely name! Personally think that Milo and Ryan are much worse...

Is Hugo on the approved list? He looks like a Hugo.

milliemolliemou yes I know Stephen is a royal name. Going back a bit though?

How about Robert? That's a lovely name, with Scottish royal connections.

DD is adamant the new prince will be called Harriet, as is having none of it that Harriet is a girls name...

• and is, not as is

Aubrey Algernon Philip Alexander

Joking aside, I'd love for it to not be Alfred/Albert/Arthur.

I really like Frederick James William

Something to mix up the Horrible Histories mnemonic (which I am now singing to myself)

Leo is nice. Surely that would be quite princely?

Christian!

Prince Philip's paternal Great Grandfather. (His paternal grandfather was called George.)

Oops!

Christian is Prince Andrew's third name (Andrew Albert Christian Edward).

Having looked at Prince Philip's antecedants, they have already used George, Alexander and Louis (Philip's great grandfather in fact was called Alexander Louis George!)

Other names in Philip's tree are: John, Joseph, Francis, Constantine, Karl, Albert and Ludwig.

I hope it is Henry.

Oooh Prince Ludwig or Prince Constantine!

Did anyone know that Prince Albert's first name was actually Francis?

(I am discovering all sorts of things tonight! )

Prince Ernest - brother of Albert and less rude ...

He was also the son of an Ernst.

How about:

Ernest Francis Albert.

Good God! Ernest is even worse than Arthur. All hail Prince Ernie the fastest royal milkman in the West.

You'll be thankful of Arthur in the end!!!

I really like Frederick or Henry called Henry not Harry.
