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!

They won't have Charles as they have Charlotte, I like Arthur to be honest. Arthur James Phillip would cover most bets, they'd have to be really mean to call him Prince Albert though!

I hope they don't pick Arthur because I'm due on Saturday and it's on my shortlist

YANBU it’s a horrible name

yes, whats the the Albert hate? i saw this on another thread, does it mean something a bit racy? or sexual? if it is, i've never heard of it/

@LaurieMarlow Noooooooooooooooo

Laurie it is a willy piercing

I like Arthur

I am surprised James is such a popular expectation really, I can’t see Prince Charles being too happy with that as a name...

I like Arthur. Since he is unlikely ever to become king, he won't have to cope with being King Arthur and the inevitable comparisons made to a (probably) fictional figure.

Thank goodness they already have a George. Otherwise the pressure to name the new baby George would be immense, given his birthday.

Just as an alternative for those saying they hate old man names, my Arthur was inspired by ‘King Arthur’ and his Celtic connections. Just a thought for you there. Anyway, Princey McPrinceface is definitely the best suggestion.: someone should call them and get them to add it to the list

Don't do it @LaurieMarlow!

MrsJayy you are not alone! I learned what a "Prince Albert" was from Mnet last night. I have most definitely led a sheltered life.

Personally I hate both Albert and Arthur but love Louis.

Gary. It is Prince Gary.

Too late mission. Consider me educated

Lol you know you want a possibility of King Arthur really

OOh sorry teacoffee, i x posted with you.

I am sure your little Arthur is adorable. Must admit it is far preferable when related to King Arthur as opposed to Arthur Askey/Daley etc.

I'm going for Thomas.

I like James or Alexander for the new prince.

Actually MrsJayy got there first anyway

I think Arthur is a lovely name.
Milo and Ryan are really, really awful though.

So Prince Willy will have a Prince Albert :) #RightRoyalFarce

It’ll be Lee or Wayne.

As George is taken, they could call him Saint. St for short.

i thought this site was meant to support mothers not attack them because of what they might call their child

How do the bookies even know? Presumably the parents have only discussed it with a trusted few, if at all. They’re just pulling names out of thin air.

George VI was Albert - called Bertie - I think that would be nice
