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!

What’s wrong with Tarquin?

I’m thinking Frederick Henry Phillip.

Ooops - apologise for the errant apostrophe..

Like Tarquin too.

Middleton's family seems to have the name Francis running through it, and the feminine Frances is obviously on Will's maternal side. I wonder if that will make an appearance.

Aha, David’s not on the short list so I’m stick to my logic here.

Also I have forgotten you’re all not my husband who had this theory explained at length before I bet 20p on it

It's an old man's name

Names seem to circulate in and out of popularity. A lot of "Old" names are making a comeback. My niece's pre school register is like something from a retirement home what with all the Pearls, Bettys, Stanleys, Arthurs and Elsies.

Do MNHQ award the Mumsnetter who guessed the name right with a prize? A hamper would be nice

Surely they should call the baby Avicii. Out of respect.

Prince Michael Philip after Grandad and great Grandad .

I want Prince Ricky, or Prince Reggie

Ooh Francis has to be my least favourite boy name.

No to Michael - there's already a Prince Michael and nobody wants to be reminded of him!

I'll take a punt on Oliver.

I had an ex with a Prince Albert.

Kate's brother is called James so i can't see them going for that.

Ethelred would be nice, it's about time they brought it back.

My money is on Charles.

Charles , Edward , Francis and they will call him Teddy I would love that

I love the name Arthur so I hope they don't use it. If I use it in the future everyone will think I've just copied the royals.

But I donlnt think they will pick it as it isn't the same sort of name as George and Charlotte. George and Charlotte, despite being traditional are very popular names today. I suspect it will be James or Henry or even Charles

It's definitely Jordan Liam Kyle Dean. Allows them to stay in touch with the commoners innit?

Hail Prince Joffrey, first of his name.

My niece's pre school register is like something from a retirement home what with all the Pearls, Bettys, Stanleys, Arthurs and Elsies.

So true. My two DDs have the same names as 2 good friends of my grandma"s growing up.

It won't be Oliver, it's seen as an anti-royalist name because of Oliver Cromwell.

@Kpo58 excellent work. Imagine having to invoke a whole other keyboard when typing ones name. Nightmare when you are ordering a pizza 'well it's an A and and E but stuck together'.

Middleton's family seems to have the name Francis running through it

But Gary is also a Middleton family name. What I wouldn't give for Prince Gary.

I was hoping he would would be Prince Rupert like the little bear

If I had to guess, I would say Frederick Michael Philip.
