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!

Alexander Charles Henry

I love the name Arthur and was pretty sure it would be that, possibly Frederick. But I'm now thinking maybe Alexander? She doesn't seem to go for 'fancy' names and I think a Prince Alex/Alexander would fit in with the siblings?

I have a feeling someone will point out why that could never happen though!

omg X post!

Just to send the Daily Mail trolls into frenzy they should call the baby David Andrew Patrick or any order of those that covers all the patron saints bar the one who's day he was born on.

In all seriousness though I'd be shocked if Phillip isn't in there somewhere.

It's Prince Charles third name (Charles Philip Arthur George)

Or Philip Charles Arthur George, who Diana married

I don't think anybody is attacking them just the Op doesn't like Arthur
yes the op said it was 'alfull' i would not dream commenting on a childs name seems something that katie hopkins did and got attacked for

I love Arthur and would have used it for DS (if we hadn't thought of something even better...) - it's fabulously English and the legendary King Arthur is a great royal. Nickname Artie or Art for when grown up - so cool.

They CAN'T call him Albert so I reckon Arthur or Freddie. Freddie would be suitably both posh and cute.

It's been officially announced. Prince Kaiden Connor Callum Kyle. Beautiful.

I'm predicting Philip or Henry after uncle Harry. Or Thomas. Maybe Keith. I actually don't care but I'm so bored today.

its kind of a shame they used up Alexander and Louis on George's middle names as they are both lovely. The 'approved' list of names is already so short for a boy, let alone when they've already used up 3 decent ones.

the others are named traditionally, can't see them using Arthur.

What's not traditional about Arthur?

Edmund is nice (and royal).

Edmund Philip Michael.

Oh, my eyes, darn it, I can't unread what a Prince Albert is. Another one leading a sheltered life here.
I really dislike the name Arthur because of Mr Askey and George Cole . I think Philip would be good. But Princey McPrinceface is by far the best.

I don't think it will be Philip, as there is already a Prince Philip (but Philip may be one of the middle names). Similarly I don't think it will be Charles, Andrew, Edward, William or Henry. Or James because of Edward's son.

It won't be Alexander or Louis as they are George's middle names.

Prince Albert would just be silly. Arthur is ok, but not sure it really goes with George and Charlotte.

Maybe Frederick. Or something like Thomas or Stephen.

I think it might be Philip. It is very old fashioned but could be shortened to Pip, although Prince Pip is a bit daft.

arthur just now makes me think of "Peaky Fucking Blinders"

YANBU

DD suggested Avicii

They could call him Alfred, then he would fit in with the millions of Alfies that are around.

I like Arthur but not Albert which would need to be shortened to Bert so as to avoid the Prince Albert thing.

They should call him Cash, and then he can run away and become a cowboy.

'The name's Cambridge... Cash Cambridge'

My Arthur is the same age now as my George was when they nicked his name

Obviously it's traditional but it's also 'of the moment'. I think it's too popular for them to use at the moment.

I quite like Wilberforce. It's a mix of Albert and William and means a fortress or large ditch.

Peorge is genius

Nothing wrong with Arthur. A rose would smell as sweet by any other name and all that.
Stacey's baby on East Enders is Arthur, although pronounced "Baby Arffer" Kate may be a big EE fan.

Does no-one think it could be Henry?

It won't be Henry - that's Harry's name

Actually, yes, Edmund would be lovely.
