Really hope it isn’t an Arthur..

.. the new royal baby that is. I have an Arthur and have watched it grow in popularity over the last few years. There will be bloody billions of Arthurs everywhere if the royals use it.. lighthearted sort of

I think William would be a nice name. Named after father and it's William Shakespeare's birthday too.

Yes William, nice

I reckon William will probably be used as a middle name

Prince Williams middle name is Arthur so don't think they will use it. i think new prince will be Albert

I really hope it isn't Arthur, we aren't even ttc yet but Arthur has been our #1 choice for family honoring purposes as well as just loving the name :( I feel very silly in a way feeling so possessive about a name which already isn't that uncommon but I still don't want it to explode in popularity any more than it already has

Surely they wouldn't go for Albert though, they're young enough to know what a Prince Albert piercing is?

Cake, I felt that way when George was born as I thought they'd pick the name our son, born several months later, has. Fortunately they didn't. We didn't get so lucky woth Charlotte though.

There's already an Arthur in the family - Arthur Chatto - although I guess he's late teens so perhaps they won't mind using the name.

I'd love them to use something a bit more daring, say Alfred, Rupert or Sebastian.

She's not really into old school though or trendy.

It'll be a Thomas.

I think he will be Henry. I know Prince Harry is actually called Henry but he’s not known as that so it sounds different enough to him but still quite Royal.

How long did it take for them to announce George and Charlottes names?

I’m thinking Arthur.

I have an Arthur too and I also hope it’s not Arthur. Come on Kate, choose Albert

tumbleted CBS news are saying (on their Twitter) they will announce name in two days but I don’t know where they’ve got that from.

Argh - two days?! I don’t think I can wait that long

I'm kind of hoping they'll choose something a little less popular for the Royals and go for something a lbit different like Louie.
Let's face it, they're not going to go for Jayden, Kyle or Darren etc
Unfortunately

If you pick a name as unoriginal as Arthur you can hardly complain when others pick it too

Bit harsh Green-it’s ranked 30th so it’s not like it’s a top 5 name.

They aid on radio that before they picked previous name They were both in top 3 name slots. So didn’t suddenly become popular after the event. That’s why Arthur has bookies going it is popular, apprently.

I am guessing James William
George...

I think some of the other old royal names are due a comeback. Richard, Edmund, Rufus, Frederick, Magnus, John, David. We may have reached Peak Arthur already. Michael might be included as it's Kate's father's name as well as royal (Prince Michael of Kent), or James (both royal and Middleton).

Albert Philip

Richard would be nice along with Edmund, Rufus as these are all names I would not use

I think the royals using a name make people less likely to use it. I can’t imagine them choosing Arthur though.

Richard is a really good name, as is Frederick. I agree that Arthur is already v popular, but only because it’s a good name

It's ok. He'll be Kai or Kane. I just know it
