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!

Ah ok I thought it was first born/heir that got it

Leo after the current prime minister - wtf

Oops - Irish prime minister

I seem to be the only one who thinks that Leopold is in with a shout. Leopold to be known as Prince Leo of Cambridge.

Ah ok I thought it was first born/heir that got it

It is, it can only be given to the heir apparent. It's just up to the monarch when to give it.

The Queen gave Charles the title in 1958, some years after she became Queen, and he wasn't invested until 68/69 so it's all at the whim of the parent.

Lidl to show the monarchy is in touch with common folk

Prince Lidl of Cambridge styled as Viscount Aldi

I reckon if George gets an extra chocolate biscuit after school he might be persuaded to share one of his middle names with his brother, so I am going for

Alexander Philip Michael

I LIKE LEO, Not leopold so much but far far better than Arthur or albert.

Alexander is lovely and suits George. Just got a shock because of the Arthur thread.

( prince)

I still want Henry, if not Alexander.
I know Harry's Henry but who's to say Harry wouldn't want to name one of his children after William 🤷🏼‍♀️

I guess names are incestual then as well as the royals they cant break free and choose something new

I saw online that Prince William said the new baby's name will be a strong one!

Ooh strong I am now going for Hercules

I knew it, it's Brian! Brian means strong.

Or Bernard "Strong as a bear" Cambridge.

Why can't they have another prince Henry (Harry) if they want ?there's a family name in my family say "Dave "so my Great grandfather, Grandfather ,uncle and cousin were all "Dave" my great grandfather and Grandfather are long dead now, so the two "Daves " are known as Our "Dave" and Young "Dave" although young "Dave" must be nearly 50

The bookies have apparently had a late run of bets on Alexander.

Can't see it myself though... 'Yes Darling, I know we didn't like it enough to make it George's first name, only his second... but you're our third child... it's traditional not to be arsed.'

I vote for 'Charming'

Deffo Arthur then.

Perhaps Kate & Wills are fans of Count Arthur Strong

Oh someone mentioned Edward back thread.
I now strongly feel he will be Edward, Eddie.

Definatly an Edward. Yes. This is it

Do you think that due to the ANZAC memorial today they will hold off on the announcement?

Reason for the Alexander bets!
(Nothing on Jerry though? )

Gerald - umm after Gerald Grovenser perhaps?

Alexander is perfect - Edward is perfect.

I always wonder what causes a late surge in bets on a certain name, has one of the maids overheard a conversation or maybe Carole has been blabbing. I know someone who once went on a boozy night out with Carole and she is not as discreet as you might think!

Also hate Arthur - I'd love them to go for something never used by the Royal family before - Robert, Marcus, Daniel, Hugh.

Milo? Ryan? Both dreadful

I know someone who once went on a boozy night out with Carole and she is not as discreet as you might think

She has never had to be and its her dc isnt it - with a bro like maison de bang bang!

Def staff over hearing and putting bet on, quirk of job

So much rudeness about the name Arthur! That's my littlest's name and we love it. I hope it is that so ner ner!!
