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 meant be surprised if George doesbt shorten it to something he can say fairly easily and if he doesn't then possibly Princess Prince Baby III will. Does itreally matter one way or the other if theyhave pet names or nicknames?

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

Can't see that stopping them, given that Diana's brother called his daughter Charlotte Diana about three years before Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana was born.

Alice Victoria Mary
Albert (Bertie) Alexander James

Applesandpears56 · 05/09/2017 19:29

Oh Alexander - actually think that could be a winner on the boys names -
Alexander Alfred/Arthur Philip

Appleyard29 · 05/09/2017 19:31

@Applesandpears56 Alexander is 1 of George's middle names.

Snapespeare · 05/09/2017 19:39

First child is a boy and one day will presumably be King.
Second child is a girl.

I call 'Tommen'

Applesandpears56 · 05/09/2017 19:40

ah apple yes - forgot about that. Although I do think still a slight chance they would use it still - it seems more 'them' than Alfred

Applesandpears56 · 05/09/2017 19:41

There's some very unfunny people on this thread

TragicallyUnbeyachted · 05/09/2017 20:50

There's already a George Windsor (the Earl of St Andrews) and that didn't put them off first time round; not sure prior existence of a Freddie will make much difference.

StealthPolarBear · 05/09/2017 20:53

Victoria for a girl

ThomasRichard · 05/09/2017 20:54

Alice or Mary for a girl.

Frederick for a boy.

RhubardGin · 05/09/2017 22:05

Maybe Lexii-Mae or Jayden?

But more likely Alice or Arthur!

wobblywonderwoman · 05/09/2017 22:10

Ruby-Leigh 100% Grin

George, Charlotte and Alexandra/er

oldlaundbooth · 05/09/2017 22:10

Gotta be Alexandra.

I reckon it's a girl.

MikeUniformMike · 06/09/2017 21:34

I think it will be a Jaidon-Kaden-Blaydon Gregg. It will be a tubby little cheeky chappie with a fondness for pies. Or . It will take after Great Uncle Gary and will be dressed head to toe in Sportz Direct.

PlainOldJosephineMary · 06/09/2017 21:42

Albert or Alexandra.

I've been right about George and Charlotte...... won £100 altogether at the bookies

ChinkChink · 06/09/2017 23:35

Albert? As in Prince Albert? Can't see it happening somehow.

Elizabeth or James I think.

FizzyGreenWater · 07/09/2017 09:34

I think any names outside of immediate family will be fair game, but not others. So I think Elizabeth, Alexandra, James, Henry, Alexander, Diana, all out. Maybe James as middle name but not first as a. Kate's bro and b. too Scottish king.

FizzyGreenWater · 07/09/2017 09:37

Louisa Victoria Frances or Louisa Victoria Anne

If Philip goes (!) possibly

Philip James Michael or Philip Michael Edward (Edward was Diana's dad's actual first name)

FizzyGreenWater · 07/09/2017 09:38

But so boring. I bet they'd love to go for Sebastian, Felix, Demelza or Hebe!

kaytee87 · 07/09/2017 10:03

fizzy king James joined the crowns so he was king of England too. Not sure why him being a Scottish king would be a problem anyway Hmm The royal family aren't all that English to be honest.

MammieBear · 07/09/2017 10:28

I can see Alice being the girls name and Arthur for a boy, these seem to be the top names at the bookies too, it's a pity really as anyone that wants those names and uses them they are going to get associated with choosing them because of the royals
