So with the announcement that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting her 3rd child, what are your thoughts on baby names? I know it's early days...

Alexandra

Or

Frederick

For me...

I think you're right.

Alice or Alexander

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 04/09/2017 10:38

Albert Charles Henry.
Victoria Mary Anne

Oysterbabe · 04/09/2017 10:53

Prince Mince

TheNaze73 · 04/09/2017 11:02

Taylor or Derek

LadyKyliePonsonbyFarquhar · 04/09/2017 11:03

I think Alexander is one of George's middle names.
My guess - James or Victoria

MrsJoyOdell · 04/09/2017 11:04

It won't be Alexander, that's George's middle name. I have an Alexander born just before him so I noticed. Shot up in popularity again since too.

They've used a lot of 'royal' names in the middle already. Can't have Henry/Harry/Charles.

I'm going with Charles for a middle if it's a boy though!

I reckon Albert or Victoria.

WaxOnFeckOff · 04/09/2017 11:06

Didn't register the middle names in my head.

Doesn't Edward have a James? i know it's not the same generation but not far appart in age.

Given they have Charlotte, I don't think Charles will feature.

Edward maybe?

WaxOnFeckOff · 04/09/2017 11:06

John?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 04/09/2017 11:10

They might shock us all and call him her.

Mason Lee.

Alice for a girl.

Arthur or Frederick for a boy.

MissHavishamsleftdaffodil · 04/09/2017 11:30

I think the Royals see the name John as with too many sad connotations because of Prince John, and that would still be strong for the Queen, that was her father's brother. Apparently Prince Charles wanted to call William Albert but Diana wasn't having it.

I'd guess Elizabeth, Alice or Victoria for a girl, Stephen, Charles or Arthur for a boy.

WaxOnFeckOff · 04/09/2017 11:32

I still think you can't have Charles with a Charlotte. Think Arthur must be up there though.

MrsMoastyToasty · 04/09/2017 11:32

Gary or Leanne.

PhuntSox · 04/09/2017 11:33

Matilda
Josephine

Arthur
Alfred

redexpat · 04/09/2017 11:36

I read somewhere that Frances was due for a comeback,and that it was Dianas middle name and her mothers name.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 04/09/2017 11:39

Mary
Alexandra
Victoria
Margaret

Louis
Philip
Spencer

@MissHavishamsleftdaffodil - I thought Elizabeth was one of Charlotte's middle names?

Loyly · 04/09/2017 11:58

Victoria Philippa Caroline

  • because Prince Charles wanted to call a daughter Victoria, then 'tributes' to Pippa and Carole Middleton.

Albert Michael James

  • because the Queen's father's given name was Albert, then 'tributes' to Michael and James Middleton.

Alice, and hopefully Louis !
