Guesses for Zara's baby?

[louloutheshamed]

Do you think they'll go super traditional or modern like her bro's kids (savannah and Isla iirc?)

Matilda.

Yes i reclon theyve been asked not to use elizabeth. They couldnt be adked not to use anne or anna or margaret or maggie or greta though? I think there is a marguerite in the family. Princess margarets son called his daughter marguerite not margaret i think

It will be Helena.

Daily Mirror today suggests Poppy.
Apparently Zara told her mate who told the paper.

Nice trustworthy friend she has there............

I reckon something like Iris or Elspeth.

Feisty names

I think Charlotte or Alexandra if we're going down the traditional route.

Poppy is nice, wonder if that's true though.

I think they will choose something modern and imaginative, like Zara's parents chose for her. I am really looking forward to hearing what it is.

And SuzanneUK... shame on you for your nasty attitude towards the new parents. Both Zara and her husband both have jobs and are not parasites.

I think something like Luna or Willow.

Slightly OT-but I read somewhere that Edward & Sophie wereN#t allowed to call their son Theodore.

So how did Anne get away with Zara?

I think because Anne turned down titles for her children she could do what she liked.

sophie and Edward's children are a lady and an Earl / duke (??) I think.

When do you think they'll announce it?

I'd be disappointed with Poppy, bit dull IMO.

Isn't Eugenie an old aristocratic name?

Eugenie has royal connections. Princess Victoria Eugenie was the daughter of Princess Beatrice who was the daughter of Queen Victoria.
She was brought up in Queen Victoria's household, and had a pretty eventful life:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Eugenie_of_Battenberg

Anne's children weren't entitled to titles because they are the children of a daughter of the monarch and their father had no titles to pass on. See here. Edward's children are styled as the children of a duke rather than a prince. I think that was his choice. Not sure why I know these pointless facts....

I hope she keeps with the Z and goes for Zilla/Zillah.

I always thought Anne chose not to have titles for her DC. The Queen can bestow them as she sees fit, can't she? So it didn't matter that they didn't inherit one from their father.

This whole thing makes me feel very old. On Guide camp one year our patrol names were all "Royals". We chose Zara who was a new baby at the time....I was very interested in the new baby and am sure I remember thinking Princess Anne was selfish silly not to let her daughter be a princess (or whatever she would have been)

I dont think Poppy is dull at all. Beautiful flower too.

Ooh I like Daisy, never thought of the Margaret shortening.

I remember reading that Prince Charles suggested the name Zara because it means 'bright as the dawn' and due to the timing of her birth, he thought that it would suit her. I think she has a lovely name and it'll be interesting to see if her daughter will have a name in the same thread.

My guess is that it's going to be an accessible posh name, something like Charlotte or Libby. Nothing too out of the ordinary.

Bet she's gutted that Pippa is on the scene - Phillipa means 'lover of horses'

Alexandra I reckon.

Hannah.
