Princess Elizabeth
Can't think do a boys name yet.

FoodieMum3 · 08/09/2014 13:09

Let's resurrect this thread when the baby is born!

Princess Alexandra
Prince Albert

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 08/09/2014 13:10

Alice or Thomas.

I think the pressure to pick a "traditional royal" name eases somewhat if they are further down the list of succession. DC6 will be Kaiden.

Middleagedmotheroftwo · 08/09/2014 13:11

Princess Elizabeth
Princess Victoria

Prince Philp
Prince Charles

A nostalgic look back to predictions past here:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/the_royal_family/1085541-who-wants-to-speculate-on-willkats-first-childs-name

This time, I'd go for Alexandra (other candidates: Charlotte, Adelaide, Isabella, Victoria) or Richard (Stephen, John).

Not James as it's her brother.

MummyBeerest · 08/09/2014 13:19

Alfred...sooo desperately want a King Alfie.

And...Alice for a girl. For no particular reason.

Username12345 · 08/09/2014 13:21

Prince(ss) Spare.

BreeVDKamp · 08/09/2014 13:27

Oh I reeeeeally hope they don't go for Adelaide :( I want it to remain as uncommon as poss haha.

Princess Charlotte
Princess Something Diana

Price Arthur would be cool!

Montsti · 08/09/2014 14:13

Last time I guessed George or Charlotte/Alexandra.

I'll stick with Charlotte or Alexandra. For boys I'd go for Albert. Hope it's a girl though!

CruCru · 08/09/2014 14:15

Prince Alexander (although I think this is one of George's middle names)
Princess Alice (it was the name of one of Queen Victoria's daughters).

I don't think they'll use Elizabeth or Philip unless one of them dies between now and the birth.

weatherall · 08/09/2014 14:16

Auntiestella- wow that OP did well on her first guess! Grin

Leeds2 · 08/09/2014 14:20

I go for Alexandra (seems to be a bit of a favourite on here!), and Arthur.

AllMimsyWereTheBorogoves · 08/09/2014 14:20

Not James because the last King James was deposed, so I think it's regarded as bad luck for them now.

Probably not William as that would be a bit odd.

Not David because that was Edward VIII's name, and not Edward either because he has tainted that name too.

I'll go for Prince Arthur or Prince Louis.

Princess Alice or Princess Elizabeth or (just possibly) Princess Margaret. Leonie is nice too.

Clarinet9 · 08/09/2014 14:27

Umm will think about it.
Not James because of the I/VI thing.
Not Alexandra George has Alexander for his second name so they have done for that now.

Elizabeth/Victoria/Mary/Rose were all popular last time and all good starts and of course Diana will try and come up with an order.

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 08/09/2014 15:08

They might honour male family if this ones a boy...

Prince First Name Charles Michael Henry Mountbatten Windsor

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 08/09/2014 15:10

Princess Victoria or Elizabeth or Catherine
Prince Charles or Arthur

AGnu · 08/09/2014 15:50

Alice Margaret/Elizabeth Carole Diana

I don't want them to choose Alice or Elizabeth though - we might have an Elizabeth Alice one day. If it's a girl & not Alice, I'm guessing it'll be Victoria. Diana will be the last middle name & definitely not listed next to Elizabeth. Jane's another option. Or Mary.

If it's a boy I'm thinking Richard James Albert.

Thurlow · 08/09/2014 15:51

Alice or Alexandra for a girl, definitely.

GlaceDragonflies · 08/09/2014 15:55

Arthur for a boy because they have already used one of his grandfather's first names.
Angela or Marguerite/Margaret because William was said to be very fond of the Queen Mother.

Sophronia · 08/09/2014 17:41

I don't think it will be Alexandra because Prince George's middle name is Alexander, same with Louis, and I dont think it will be James because William has a cousin James and it's Kate's brother's name.

They said they named their son George because they liked it, and it is a popular name at the moment. I can't see them using names like Richard and Victoria as they're a little bit out of style at the moment. They could use Elizabeth but I think they'd be more likely want the baby to have her 'own' name and not be named directly after the Queen (just a hunch). Similarly, I don't think they'd call it Catherine after Kate. I definitely don't think they'll use Diana, Carole or Frances. I don't think they'd use Albert because of 'Prince Albert'(!)

I think it will be either Alice or Arthur, but I could see Charlotte, Eleanor, Matilda or Rose for a girl (apparently Kate likes Rose), and maybe Alfred for a boy, although I can't imagine a Prince Alfie (would be cool though!) Grin

BlueStarsAtNight · 08/09/2014 18:30

I think it will be

Princess Charlotte or Princess Isabella

Or

Prince Arthur or maybe Prince Peter

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 08/09/2014 18:32

Princess Alice Margaret Victoria

Lunastarfish · 08/09/2014 18:37

Isabella or Charlotte for a princess.

Louis or Arthur for a prince.

British Royals have to stick to tradition unfortunately. Princess Hayley or Prince Jay would be fun though!

AuntieStella · 08/09/2014 18:48

"For boys I'd go for Albert."

Please no! You really cannot call a real human being Prince Albert!
