A month to go.....the royal baby name

[MortifiedAdams]

A few people have suggested Diana will be in there if its a girl but I disagree, though Spencer might make a.nice MN for a boy.

I think Margaret Alice or George Spencer.

[amazingmumof6]

Jordan?

[EMUZ]

Didn't they buy a blue bugaboo? I'm sure I read that somewhere. Obv I know gender neutral and all that but...

[MortifiedAdams]

hmmm....I would buy a blue buggy for either, im.sure lots of people wpuld.

[DonDrapersAltrEgoBigglesDraper]

The thing about Adelaide though, is that she wasn't actually Adelaide. Personally, I am ruling it out.

It always amazes me how superstitious people still are. In this day and age, 'n all...

I believe QEII called Charles Charles, with the full intention of his using it. So what if previous Charles' befell not great fates?! Seriously, so what? It doesn't actually mean anything.

It's this sort of nonsense that annoys me when people write off names like Claudia or Cecily. They need to cop on, IMVHO.

[nutella81]

I think Victoria or James, but I'm convinced it's gonna be a girl.

A few people earlier mentioned Henry, but as that's Harry's actual name I doubt they'd use it.

It's a bit sad, but I'm quite excited about the new arrival!

[MortifiedAdams]

It might sound morbid but I have to ask.....what would be the situation if their firstborn was disabled? Or severely autistic? Deaf or blind?

[AnotherLovelyCupOfTea]

my son has mild autism, and he could rule a country for sure. he'd prefer to rule the entire world but he might settle for a country.

Deaf or blind is still in sound mind isn't it, so, that wouldn't impede being sovereign. ('d imagine, who knows? )

Sanjay (pronounced StJohn ) if it's a boy, William has Indian connections according to The Mail (so it must be true).

[howardbear]

was just talking about this yesterday and I said I thought it would be charlotte for a girl, which seems a popular choice with people on here, so im going to have another go and say;-

charlotte OR harriet for a girl

oliver OR alexander for a boy!

[OfficialSweetieMonitor]

Frances (Diana's middle name)

She'd have to be a lady, not a princess though! )

[mathanxiety]

An Oliver was responsible for the decapitation of one of this baby's ancestors so I would rule that out.

[AnotherLovelyCupOfCoffee]

Yes! That is a Catholic name so I don't think the Royal family would pick it.

[ajandjjmum]

Isn't Edward's son called Louis? Doubt they'd want another one in the same generation?

[UpTheFRIGGinDuff]

Albert or Elizabeth

[Yellowtip]

But the line isn't direct mathanxiety in fact it's really quite oblique. There are other direct descendants to the Stuart kings still living (albeit two wedding ceremonies missing :)).

[Yellowtip]

It will be Charles or James or Edward or some other name perceived as upper middle class/ traditional. It is supposed to be a boy, isn't it?

[Hassled]

We haven't had a James for a while, and it's a good name.

I do think they'll pick a name with a precedent - so none of this new-fangled nonsense. Ann? Eleanor - wife of Henry II?

[FreedomOfTheTess]

Edward's son is James, his daughter is Louise.

As long as it isn't Mary - the name of my newborn daughter - I don't really care!

[Yellowtip]

I can't imagine it would be Mary for a moment Freedom, I think you're safe!

[mathanxiety]

Oblique is good enough for the present royals to be considered royal. It's the weddings that make all the difference

[bugsybill]

I hope it is not going to be overly 'heavy' and traditional like Elizabeth, Victoria, Henry, Charles, Alexander, Frederick, William etc

I would love to see a little future King Jasper, Thomas or Felix.

Girls I would like to see something not too feminine as I thinki it would be nice to have a strong female name as she will be making history when she becomes Queen.

Maybe a little future Queen Helen, Claire, Mary or Ellen/Eleanor.

[bugsybill]

Maybe making history that should be not will

[AnotherLovelyCupOfCoffee]

I think it could be Mary. Mary is a royal name, but it's not one of a Queen in recent history so it's a name a child could make her own. I could see Kate pushing for something simple like Mary or Jane. Obviously not Mary Jane together :-p

Mary Elizabeth is my bet. There, if I have to put down a fiver I'm putting it on Mary Elizabeth Diana. Maybe Caroline will be a subsequent dd's middle name.

[MyThumbsHaveGoneWeird]

Anothercup here you go

[FreedomOfTheTess]

A fiver on Chardonnay anyone?!
