New royal baby name.

[Montsti]

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...

The Queen already has a grandson called James I think.

My prediction:

Frederick or Nicholas for a boy.

Alice or Alexandra for a girl.

Middle names (boy): choose two from Michael, Francis, Peter, Philip, James, Arthur, Louis

Middle names (girl): not sure. Possibly Mary or Victoria in there somewhere? Alexandra if they don't use it as a first name, potentially.

I think Matilda or Alice for a girl, both lovely names.

James or Henry for a boy. Arthur is nice though.

Matilda is too German I think for an English royal baby...

Vince if a boy or Finleigh-Mae if a girl

They're not going to have a Caroline as well as a Charlotte surely, they're basically the same name.

I think Alice Victoria and Frederick Albert.

Don't think it will be James.
Philip possibly for a boy. Alice or Mary for a girl.

I think they should choose a gender neutral name like Kim, Billie, Lee!

Apples the current British royal family is actually German in origin: the House of Windsor is the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha

I'm thinking perhaps Alice for a girl, Alfred or Henry for a boy

Girl: Adelaide or Helena
Boy: Leopold or Albert.

Sophia was the name of George the First's mother.
Adelaide was the name of William the Fourth's wife.
How about Marina - Princess Alexander's mother?
I think Alice is a definite possibility - Prince Phillip's mother's name.
Prince Andrew 's last name is Edward and the Queen still used it for her next son.

Richard Philip William

Mary Victoria Margaret

All have a real pedigree. As an aside, there isn't any real problem with them using names they've already used - Prince Andrew's full name is Andrew Albert Christian Edward. And of course the name Edward was then given to his younger brother just a couple of years later.

Canute or Rufus
Victoria for a girl.

Ethelreda

I'd bet Michael after her dad.

@AnarchyKitty You can't call a royal child Cunt or Anus

I wouldn't be surprised to see Philip or Philippa feature. Going back a long way, Philippa of Hainault was the wife of Edward the Third.

Sorry, misread that.

Alice Margaret Victoria..

Henry Phillip Spencer

I also got George and Charlotte right

Phillip Michael
Phillipa Mary

What about Louise in there somewhere for a girl,? Princess Anne's last name. Alice hasn't been used since Princess Anne was named I don't think, and Margaret's hasn't been used for years either.

Prince Edward called his daughter Louise.

Mary Alice Elizabeth
Louis Phillip Francis

What hasn't been used from previous royal generations?

Elizabeth Angela Marguerite
Margaret Rose
Elizabeth Alexandra Mary
Charles Philip Arthur George
Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise
Andrew Albert Christian Edward
Edward Anthony Richard Louis

or what about Zara?

Yes Vanilla you're right.
