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!

Diana was a David Bowie fan so I think Ziggy would be a good name

How about
Ziggy Elton Bono

Laurie

If it is Alexander and people query just tell them your son is named after Boris Johnson (first name is Alex) and that will make things better!

Prince David Ziggy!

Lois
I think you are on to something

Leopold? Wasn't that the name of one of Queen Victoria's brood? Either Leopold or Leo sounds appropriately regal, and it's neither an old man's name nor a young man's - completely neutral.

Kanut- proper kings name.

James hasn’t been a great monarch name so far.

Alfred? Pretty good in the kinging department

My money is on Phillip

Tequila 😂😂😂😂

19lottie82 · 26/04/2018 11:13

Kanut! I like it 😂 despite my predictive text changing it to Kanye! Little Prince Kanye?

I can’t see it being Alfred to be honest. Alfie is far too common in recent years!

My gut says James, but I’m thinking Philip after that.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 26/04/2018 11:19

opinionated who's attacking anybody? Confused

Indigo* I just had to Google Avicii! 😂

willynillypie · 26/04/2018 11:44

whyyyyyyyy haven't they announced yet??

YoloSwaggins · 26/04/2018 11:56

It can't be Philip! Baby PHIL!! Noooooo.

Personally I'm thinking Bubba.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 26/04/2018 12:14

Love Aethelred (can't do that ae thing on my phone)! 😂

FizzyGreenWater · 26/04/2018 12:21

Frederick
Arthur
Albert

= most likely

Philip
James
Alexander

= quite likely

Dorian
Malcolm
Conrad

= less likely

! (as in 'click')
Whitstable
Moriarty
Tinglebum

= not at all likely

Pebble21uk · 26/04/2018 12:28

C'mon! Surely it has to be in time for the 1 o'clock news... they're just playing with us now (overly invested as I have money riding in this)

KateMiddletonsOtherMum · 26/04/2018 12:41

It's just been announced!!!!!!!!!

MyOtherProfile · 26/04/2018 12:42

Tease!

Blathers did it get in the way? I'd be worried about it coming out while DTD.

bellabasset · 26/04/2018 12:56

Why not Michael Philip James, also like the Alexander Armstrong 'Xander' shortform. No doubt they look at the shortform versions before deciding.

Thought they might also wait till Prince Charles and the Queen have seen the baby.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 26/04/2018 13:03

Nakedavenger you wouldn't believe how Domino's mangle my name. Extra consonants and not enough vowels! Confused Like Sarah being spelt Sctzra.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 26/04/2018 14:12

It won't be Michael because there is already a Prince Michael (of Kent)
