GUESSING THE ROYAL BABY NAME

[TEACUP123]

Prince James
of Princess Alexandra

I've had a quid on Richard at 40/1. The name has been in the news so they are bound to have thought of it. There is the Duke of Gloucester, but he's in his 70s and hasn't been called Prince Richard since 1974, so I doubt that would be seen as a problem.

Marina
Louis

I'd like to see them use Richard.

When Charles and Diana chose Harry/henry it was not used at all and they brought it back in to fashion. I like Richie. Georgie and Richie would be less stuffy and Royal than George and Richard.

Marina is lovely. There is a bold Royal called Marina though.

Marina Ogilvy? I think there's a Marina among the younger Kents too.

Just checked - yes, one of the Duke of Kent's grandchildren is Lady Marina Charlotte Windsor (b. 1992). The DoK's mother was Princess Marina of Greece, so it's very much a family name for the Kents.

I think a boy will be Edward or Arthur.

A girl will be Alexandra or Victoria or possibly Alice.

Arthur and Matilda are so Middleton . Nothing wrong with being a Middleton but they are so middle-class sounding. Arthur and Matilda are off to baby signing. Matilda is lactose intolerant. Arthur is a model for Boden you know!
they have to come up with something less self-consciously middle class than Arthur and Matilda!

and I think they'd want to avoid the pressing saying that Carole had chosen the names?!

Majestica

Sort of sticking with what I said upthread:
Alice Elizabeth Caroline
Charlotte Victoria Elizabeth
Sophia Frances Margaret

Charles Christian Michael
Edward Philip Arthur
Frederick Albert John

Maybe Helena, Adelaide or Anne thrown in there. Or even Ruth or Arabella

I'm astonished by the number of Albert predictions.

The nation could very well die laughing at the announcement of a Prince Albert.

Richard or David
Alice, Charlotte or Rose

I'm saying Charlotte or Louis

yes! I think we can safely rule out Albert

Caroline Elizabeth Diana

James charles michael

Eleanor would be nice, and there have been Queens called Eleanor before (though not for at least 500 years I think). Why do they always have to stick to the more recent royal names - ("recent" meaning since Queen Victoria )? Eleanor is classic, has been popular again for about 25 years now, and is quite 'safe' so probably the sort of name W&K would like.

I just love the name Marina.

I did think Louis, but maybe that would be considered a bit political, given what happened to him?

I agree, Eleanor is pretty much perfect for them. I keep seeing my daughters name mentioned, I hope they dont use it!

Anyone know what the bookie's favourite prediction for Prince George was? Was it George?

I was going to say Charlotte or James though have now ruled out James having found out it Kate's brothers name...
so maybe Albert.
Or Robert.

Why are people saying no to Albert?
Albi or Bertie is cute and there was of course Victoria & Albert...

Google "Prince Albert" and you will soon find out.

@ Prince Albert

Oh, Butterfly. OK.

A 'Prince Albert' is a male genital piercing, where the bar or ring is pierced from the underside of the glans to the urethral opening.

Sorry. You did ask.

My name (first followed by middle!) has been mentioned so many times, I'm not a fan of it, hopefully if the new baby is a princess and they use those names she'll like them more than I do
