But they claim they chose George simply because they liked it (without any royal obligation), that tells you their taste. It'll be another safely middle-class choice.

I actually think it'll be another boy.

Prince Arthur.

Victoria Alice Elizabeth
Albert Arthur Philip

Victoria or Albert

LittleBlueHermit · 14/01/2015 05:02

I agree it'll probably be Albert, Victoria or similar.

I'd love it if they chose one of the older royal names for a girl though- Eleanor, Adelaide, Isabella, Matilda, etc.

EdithWeston · 14/01/2015 06:45

If they want an older Queenly name, not really in use at the moment, then how about Blanche or Berengaria?

Sunnymeg · 14/01/2015 13:15

Princess Matilda Margaret
Prince Albert Arthur Charles

Although I wouldn't be surprised if they gave a girl Frances as a first name with a caveat that she be known by her second name.They won't use Diana but they might be able to get away with her second name.

So something like

Princess Frances Alice Anne to be known as Alice.

Margaret Alice Elizabeth
Thomas Henry Arthur

I have heard from a source that it is likely to be called Princess Alice if it's a girl.

Picking a boy's name will be trickier. Perhaps Richard. I don't envy them as they don't have that many decent names that haven't been used to choose from!

Princess Ophelia Alice Rose
Princess Gabriella Diane

Prince Alexander Henry
Prince Gregory Charles

I think Kate and William should have a look at the thread.. we've come up with some beautiful Royal namesWink

ZingTheGreat · 15/01/2015 07:09

Barbara (Windsor)
Legoland (Windsor)

ZebraGiraffe · 15/01/2015 20:11

I expect they will go with something like

Prince Arthur/Albert/Alfred (little Alfie would be sweet)
Princess Alice/Victoria

I checked obsessed I know and there is a Princess Alexandra still alive in the Royal family. It won't be James either due to Viscount Severn (Earl of Wessex's son)

vindscreenviper · 15/01/2015 20:17

Have any of the pp who are suggesting Prince Albert done a Google image search of 'Prince Albert' Grin

Sophronia · 15/01/2015 20:36

I still think Arthur or Alice.

Oddie · 15/01/2015 20:40

Balonz

Bue · 15/01/2015 20:42

I also think probably Alice or Arthur.

Bonsoir · 15/01/2015 20:42

I guessed George and won a bet Smile

Royal Baby W&K2 will be James or Elizabeth.

RedandCurly · 15/01/2015 23:15

Mary

RedandCurly · 15/01/2015 23:16

Arthur is not posh enough surely?

RedandCurly · 15/01/2015 23:19

I like Richard! (Rich for short. Will and Rich)

Reckon it's a girl so Alice or Mary with mns Elizabeth Caroline
as bonsoir says, snoozeville

bouncingbelle · 16/01/2015 19:10

Girl:
Eleanor
Alice
Theadora

Elizabeth, Frances, Caroline and Diana as middle names.

Boy:
Arthur
Stephen
Benedict

Philip, David, Spencer and James as middle names.

FoodieMum3 · 20/01/2015 14:37

I thought Andrew, as they met at St. Andrew's but now I think not given the recent allegations against Prince Andrew.

I will be SO disappointed if they name a girl Elizabeth.

JoanHickson · 20/01/2015 14:41

Alice Elizabeth Dianna.

Oliver Michael Arthur.

TheyLearnedFromBrian · 20/01/2015 16:00

Gillian Faye or Leonard Simon

MonstrousRatbag · 20/01/2015 16:04

They can call the baby anything, because if s/he ends up on the throne then s/he can just chose a 'throne name' to reign under.

I'm plumping for Caroline if a girl, and Edmund for a boy.

SoupDragon · 20/01/2015 16:08

They can call the baby whatever they like but I doubt they will choose something "unroyal".

I reckon Elizabeth will feature as a middle name.

Arthur and Alice are both good guesses I think.
