B. Connor, Callum, Jayden

G. Tallulah, Chelsea, Dagenham

Another cross against Albert is that there is a reigning prince called Albert in Monaco. His wife has just had twins, called Jacques and Gabriella. I doubt many people guessed those right.

BernadetteMatthews · 04/04/2015 14:07

Can't be James, that's her brothers name.

Adelaide or Arthur imo.

AnnaNimitty · 04/04/2015 14:33

Alice, Sophia or Caroline for a girl
Arthur, Alfred or Michael for a boy

0ldF0x · 04/04/2015 14:40

Don't put conor in the same list as Jayden. It was the name of one of the last high kings of Ireland. Obviously K&W won't pick it but mocking conor is like mocking John. It may not be your culture, it may not be to your taste but it is as solid as it's possible for a name to be.

Blueskies80 · 04/04/2015 14:43

Albert for a boy or Charlotte for a girl

SunnyBaudelaire · 04/04/2015 14:44

I am not mocking those names, I am mocking the royal family.

almapudden · 04/04/2015 14:47

Apparently when Diana was pregnant with William she favoured what were then 'Sloaney' names such as Oliver and Sebastian, but was overruled by Charles/the Firm, who wanted something more traditionally 'royal'.

I think they'll go for Louis or Richard for a boy; Alice/Charlotte/Victoria for a girl.

Blueskies80 · 04/04/2015 14:51

Just read up the thread, maybe not Albert then, haha!
Arthur is my prediction for a boy, then.

clarinet9 · 04/04/2015 15:03

I don't think Louis (George's third name)
Helena would be my surprise girl choice (I think that and Alice are the only ones of Victoria's daughters not currently in use.

there was a clip I saw on the TV where they are outside the hospital showing off the baby and one of the reporters (sounds like Brit one and I gather he follows them around a lot -tough job- (not!) anyway he calls out something along the lines of 'so tell us William are you going to call hime George?' and William basically blushes and stutters 'wait and see' or similar.

It wasn't shown at the time but it was so obvious that they were going to call him George when you saw it!

So I am going for Alice Victoria Mary (with Helena as my wildcard) or Arthur Charles Henry for a boy
I think it will be a girl and born on April 21, 23 or 29!

clarinet9 · 04/04/2015 15:06

Richard is my boy wildcard
long overdue for a revival that one

Not Alexandra (too close to George's second name

I don't think they will use Victoria and Elizabeth in one name, although i like them both.

wizzler · 04/04/2015 15:07

Mildred anyone ? Grin

wreckingball · 04/04/2015 15:08

Alan.

wreckingball · 04/04/2015 15:12

I LOVE Marina, currently trying desperately to make DiL call the due bab that if it's a gurrrl.
And Orlando if it's a boy.
Think we might get Brenda or Alan...

clarinet9 · 04/04/2015 15:17
Blush I have just discovered I posted the same story on this thread in Sept!!

except then I suggested Henry as first name and ordered whether I had missed some bit of news about Arthur

(I also had Victoria Mary Elizabeth Rose for a girl!!)

the power of suggestion!

clarinet9 · 04/04/2015 15:18

wondered
sorry my autocarrect has a mind of it's own

0ldF0x · 04/04/2015 18:03

AlmaPudding, and the same for Fergie, the queen vetoed her choices too. I'd say times have changed. I think K&W would know themselves what would be a step too far for the public and I think they would do The Firm the courtesy of letting them be the first to know the name, but I hope ... they don't ask permission. Don't know why I care

VivaLeBeaver · 04/04/2015 18:16

Alfred

Alice or Charlotte

IvoryMadonna · 04/04/2015 18:19

I believe The Yorks were thinking of calling one of their girls Annabel, and the Queen advised against because there was a nightclub called Annabel's which was always in the gossip columns.

I don't think the royals are any different from any family in this respect - it often takes mum or gran to point out something dodgy which you might have missed. I wonder if the Queen knows what a Prince Albert is? Grin

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 04/04/2015 18:21

Princess Alice Elizabeth Marina

Prince James Henry Phillip

ajandjjmum · 04/04/2015 18:41

I find that hard to believe OldF0x, as she allowed Princess Anne to use Zara - which is still unusual afaik. Not sure that she has to give permission, or what the protocol is withinthe RF.

I think it will be Alexandra or Alfred. Smile

mathanxiety · 04/04/2015 18:43

I can't see Marina being used.

RitaOrange · 04/04/2015 18:46

Princess Diana Rose or vice versa - can you imagine how pursed the Queens lips would be !

Prince Henry - known as Harry Wink

Penguinotterfoxbadger · 04/04/2015 19:48

Boy : Arthur or Michael

Girl: Alice or Charlotte
