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...

I'm going for Richard for a boy, and Richmal for a girl.

Hercules for a boy and Pollyanna for a girl.

Or vice versa.

Love Lottie, Lexie and George but Princess Persephone is still my favorite

Has there ever been a Princess Agatha? Or Ethel? Or Doris?
Prince Rupert?

Mary

Edward

@meanapparently I doubt she calls Charlotte Lottie.

Frances Mary or Frederick John

It won't be Arthur. Arthur is Middle Class {shudder}

Mary or Frederick would be good choices.

What are Sophie and Edward's children called? Is it James and Alice?

Louise and James

Alice Elizabeth Mary

Richard Philip Arthur

Why wouldst Kate call Charlotte Lottie? Is it too middle class or common??

Haven't Edward and Sophie bagged Louise and James - so it won't be those as first names.

Sniggering at Prince Charles' middle name being described as "middle class". King Arthur (mythical) and Prince Arthur - Henry VIII's elder brother does lend it a somewhat royal connection......

Don't think they'd chose a name like Helena which can be pronounced in different ways

Think Arthur and David will be involved for a boy.
For a girl, Henriette/Henrietta .....Matilda would be fabulous, but it'll be a safe name like Sophie/Sophia, maybe Louisa as a middle name.

Who knows.........??

She probably calls them Georgie and Charlie

Haven't Edward and Sophie bagged Louise and James - so it won't be those as first names.

Yup. See the post above mine from Older

Britneeeee
Courtneeeeee
Sasha
Keeleeee
Tegan

Malcolm
Keith
Derrick
Aubrey
Kaiiiii
Axel
Percy

Given Charles I'd assume Lottie is more likely that. Charlie. I'm confused by Apple's assertion

Is think Sophie unlikely as that's Edwards wife

@SleepingStandingUp quite frankly, I know 7 Charlottes and they're all known by that name. I just don't think she would shorten it, IMO. It's 2 syllables.

Mine was shortened from a 2 syllable name to a 2 syllable "younger sounding" name. I'm not saying she does or doesn't. But I'd be surprised if George doesn't and if it doesn't stick

Ooh, Cleopatra, Malcolm would be a fab choice - it's a royal name in Scotland and he'd be Malcolm the 5th if he ever became king!

Crosses fingers...

Why would George shorten Charlotte to Charlie if no-one else does?

If everyone calls her Charlotte then that's what he'll call her.

Probably more likely to call her Lottie I would have thought.

Oops. I see other people have already said that.
Isn't there already a Lord Frederick Windsor, or did I make that up? Off to google.

There is. He is the son of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.

Edward VIII was known to his family as David, so that might not be in the running.
