GUESSING THE ROYAL BABY NAME

[TEACUP123]

Prince James
of Princess Alexandra

about

Will and Kate don't strike me as a couple who will venture far beyond the boundaries of John and Victoria and similar standard names.

What about something like Rebecca or Hannah?

I'm sure lots of Rebeccas and Hannahs have visited Buckingham Palace over the years...........as servants.

Maybe they'll go a bit Euro chic royal and pick something like Marina.

Kevin!

...

or Elizabeth Georgiana if it's a girl.

Draganne

princess

Prince Gabriel
Princess Amelia

I think a boy will be Leo/Leopold, possibly Arthur
a girl Alice or Helena

I think a girl will be Margaret know as Maggie,
A boy Christopher or Stephen .

Princess Lacy-Mai
Prince Jayden-Kai

Princess Alice would be nice. Or Princess Beyonce

Prince Sid

Elizabeth.

And it will be a girl.

The Danish royals gave their babies national ethnic minority middle names.

So what about a Welsh or Gaelic or Cornish middle name for the forthcoming baby?

Princess Matilda
Prince Alfred

Sophronia good point about Henry/Harry ( and I agree about the conservative choices and naming after close relatives) for some reason I had it in my head he was a Harry so I thought it would be a nice way of recognising him IYSWIM

I know Arthur has been used in the past but I wondered if there was something I was missing as to why it kept getting suggested it seems pretty popular on here is it becoming more common for current babies.

I had forgotten about Helena beautiful and very classic name And it gets the Greek link in!

One of Queen Victoria's daughters was called Helena.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Helena_of_the_United_Kingdom

Meant to add to message-before-last that a middle name from any ethnic community in the UK or indeed Commonwealth would be just as good as a Welsh, Gaelic, Cornish one.

Haven't a clue but if I was Kate I might consider Elizabeth shortened to Eliza or Beth for everyday use. Helena and Alice are lovely as well.

I'm convinced it'll be Arthur for a boy.

Eleanor Elizabeth for a girl.

They aren't going to use James (think of the James Hewitt link) also Kate's brother is James.

(I did my research when first was born as I didn't want them to use my son's name!!)

Elizabeth is too current, I think they'll go back a few generations. Maybe something like Helena?

I am going to go for Henry or Helena

William has a cousin James too...

So - Philip Arthur Christian

Wasn't there a princess Alice of the queen's generation that was disabled and hidden away? I don't suppose the royal family would want to be reminded of how they treated her...

There was an Alice who was the second of Victoria's children.

Are you thinking of Nerissa and Katherine Bowes Lyon? They are cousins of QE2.

Prince John, brother to Albert (George VI) and 'David' (Edward VIII) , had epilepsy and possibly autism, and lived away from the rest of the family in his own little house at Sandringham with servants until he died at a young age.

Prince Frederick/ Alfred

Princess Matilda
