To think please not Arthur

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!

I'd like a Robert.

Tequilamockinbird · 26/04/2018 08:31

As long as it's not Prince Albert. Blush

SunwheretheFareyou · 26/04/2018 09:27

Im sure it will be down Alexander route

Aprilmightbemynewname · 26/04/2018 09:40

I am sure Charlotte will love having a db with the same name as Peppa's!!

RoseWhiteTips · 26/04/2018 09:50

Alexander.

RoseWhiteTips · 26/04/2018 09:53

Australia's High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Alexander Downer, suggested to Prince William he should call the boy Alexander during an Anzac Day service at Westminster Abbey
'Have you thought about the name Alexander for him?' the former foreign minister asked.

...Prince Williams appeared keen on the idea.

'Well, it's funny you should say that. It's a good name,' he said.

Minisoksmakehardwork Beat me to it- Alfred or Alfie it’s still the same name; if they change it we’ll never knowing course but I’d put money on it if there was a way to know the truth

LarkDescending · 26/04/2018 10:00

I very much doubt that Alfie was ever in the running.

I imagine there will be an announcement today, perhaps after Prince Charles has been for a first visit?

The80sweregreat · 26/04/2018 10:05

Alexander seems to be the rumour on line.

Merrykegs · 26/04/2018 10:07

After Alexander Armstrong. Apparently Kate is a MASSIVE Pointless fan.

Annabelle4 · 26/04/2018 10:11

George is George Alexander Louis.

I don't think they'll use Alexander again.

The80sweregreat · 26/04/2018 10:17

Does Kate know that Tuvalu used to be a pointless answer back in the day to country questions?

LarkDescending · 26/04/2018 10:26

They can use Alexander again if they want. Just as Edward was reused, having also been one of Prince Andrew’s middle names.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 26/04/2018 10:27

And King Arthur wasn't even real, although I think it's one of Prince Charles's names?

LarkDescending · 26/04/2018 10:29

Arthur is among the middle names of both Prince Charles and Prince William.

SunwheretheFareyou · 26/04/2018 10:31

Going to be announced soon {terribly over invested}

sunshinestorm · 26/04/2018 10:31

I'm going to guess Frederick Arthur Phillip

RoseWhiteTips · 26/04/2018 10:31

Exactly - those names pop up as middle names in the new prince’s family.
Of course Alexander can be chosen as a first name. I hope it is.

LarkDescending · 26/04/2018 10:36

Breaking news: William is to be Harry’s best man!

They’re teasing us now.

The80sweregreat · 26/04/2018 10:36

Alexander Phillip Michael - covers it all. ( dont know of course)

19lottie82 · 26/04/2018 10:36

I don’t think it will be James or Philip.

I can’t seem them using a name that George already has, the only reason people are talking about it so much is due to an informal comment William made. Do you really think he’d give the game away as easily as that?
And Arthur? Possibly but I just can’t imagine it for some reason! Prince Ar-fuh!

19lottie82 · 26/04/2018 10:37

Gah that should have read I THINK it will be James or Philip! (Not I don’t think)

Not had my coffee yet! 😂

19lottie82 · 26/04/2018 10:39

Everyone said Charlotte would be
Elizabeth and she wasn't. No one can
predict.

Yes they can........ Charlotte was the second favourite!

lalalalyra · 26/04/2018 10:40

the only reason people are talking about it so much is due to an informal comment William made

He commented on Jerry as well and no-one is suggesting that seriously.

LaurieMarlow · 26/04/2018 10:43

Pleeease not Alexander. DS2 due in 4 weeks and that's the only name we both agree on! I don't want a royal surge/people thinking we blindly copied. Confused
