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!

I like Arthur it’s rather sweet we need a change from all the made up names now with weird spellings or spelt backwards in an attempt to be original lol 😆

Nope, don’t think we’ll get Fred and George

My money's on Prince Jayden.

Francis and Michael are too Catholic, Oliver is too Roundhead, Rupert is too ursine...Gary it is.

I'm sure you sought pre-approval of Kate Middleton for your DCs names first then OP?

Yes, Jeffrey, Elvis and Ikea-Meatballs were all approved by HRH.

I'm voting for Knut Cambridge.

Also surely Richard may also be shortened to Prince Dick

God, I hope it’s not Arthur as that is DS2’s name....l

Queen Victoria had an Arthur (I'm surprised she didn't run out of names altogether in fact)

She also had a Leopold. I have a feeling that that's a long shot.

I dont think it'll be Alfred with all the media at the moment. Do you really?

@PerfectPenquins are you suggesting Ruhtra? It has a certain ring don’t you think lol 🤔

They may call him Arthur, then abbreviate it to Artie but l would love Raif as well . They have done well on the names so far so I think they will pick well for this baby too.

Claude, after Grandpapa's beloved Granny's Papa. Or Fergus, after her brother.

I like the name Michael, but doubt it'll be used as it's Kate's Dad's name, or Fred.

Fred Cambridge. Now that's a name...

Arthur Philip Michael is my guess.

Love the nn Artie.

Kanye... or as suggested by pp, Balonz

I think Arthur’s quite likely because when you consider that they are choosing from a restricted selection of names, and then discount all of the ones already in use or with negative connotations, they’re not left with much!

I think it will either be Arthur or Frederick.

If Harry & Meghan have a baby, I fully expect them to go more along the lines of Balonz Moonbeam. They’ll have more freedom of choice .

I reckon he's a Tyler

Aw, Prince Rupert is cute. I don't think it's their style though.

Thomas or Tobias would be cute

Thomas goes with Charlotte and George ; Thomas Francis Phillip is my guess

It’s quite sad that they appear to be restricted to very traditional (many nice) names - I have a George. They should be able to choose any name, traditional, modern, made up, they like.

Princess Anne’s granddaughters have more modern names - Savannah, Isla and Mia. Although not in close succession to the throne, still part of the immediate Royal Family.

I like Arthur...😀

Prince Shaggy, Wills was enjoying him last Saturday night

IDK, I rather like the name Robert, although I know as far as royalty it's more Scottish than English.

But, c'mon. Wouldn't everyone love the idea of a "Prince Bob".

I like Arthur as well but I think Alfred is nicer

I guess Thomas too. It goes with their other two and she has Thomas in her family.
