Royal baby

[MissMoodyMoo]

I'll be absolutely gutted if the royal family call their baby Alice 😐😐 its the only name we agree on and I've got the ultimate fear!!

It's fine I'm totally over Alice after reading an article about the alice in wonderland creator being a paedophile and abusing the alice he created the sorry about!...fiona it is!

Whoever pointed out Princess Alice died young, so did the last Princess Charlotte of Wales. She died in childbirth.

Funnily enough though for those people suggesting Caroline; Princess Charlotte of Wales' parents were George iv and Caroline of Brunswick.

The last Princess Alice lived to about 100!

I'm going to go with Frances Mary Philippa or Arthur James Philip. But I'm crossing my fingers for Satan-Grace or Balonz.

Vulcan 🤔

Aren’t Charlotte and Caroline two versions of the same name? I thought they were both a feminine form of Charles.

I hope it’s Alexandra.

I think maybe Florence/Flora for a girl. Jonathan maybe for a boy.

Would they risk Frances? The tabloids would be Willie/Wills has named his dd Fanny

Fiona is terrible!!!!

I don't think they'll go for Albert - it's a bit trendy now. Alfie/Bertie type name seems a bit downmarket

I would say Alice for a girl has to be up there. Possibly Alexandra or Eleanor.

No first name which is a living royal - so no Henry, Philip, Charles - James is her brother etc. But they're fine with middle name repetition so could easily see:

Louis
Arthur
Richard.

I wouldn't have thought Alexandra as there's already a Princess Alexandra.

So? The Queen and her mother were both called Elizabeth.

There's too many Royals Now, they seemingly have no names left!

I'm warming to John/Jonathan William James, known as Jack. and Florence Catherine Frances known as Flora.

Florence is lovely. I think it goes nicely with George & Charlotte. I like Mary for a middle name.

John is a good one

Yes I like Frances. Diana's mothers name, and Diana's middle name.

I wonder if they will include Kate's side of the family? Or is that generally not done?

Yes they should have Michael in there somewhere. Problem is of course that it might look like it references the Michaels of Kent - which for the royals would be the naming equivalent of one of the corgis taking a dump in the throne room. Or so I have heard.

Florence Catherine Frances is lovely.

Yes it is Belinda.

Is Florence a royal name?

I think the Michaels of Kent have probably ruined Michael for this generation at least. Unless maybe as a third middle name or something.

Florence has got David Cameron echos hasn’t it? Bit political for a royal choice.

I think that's a bit of a tenuous link. There have been actual prime minister's called william, andrew, james, Charles, edward, frederick, Henry etc . This baby won't be queen either so I think they have a bit more leeway.

I'm saying Arthur or Alice.

Alice Philippa Mary or Arthur Philip Henry

FizzyGreenWater, the OP's just announced that she's calling her baby Fiona, and you comment that it's terrible?!
