Roll up! Roll up! All those unashamed to be inappropriately obsessing about a new Royal baby name welcome here!

As Harry and his desecendants are rapidly becoming outnumbered by the Cambridge side of the family they have much less to worry about in terms of a suitable name for a monarch, therefore, within reason they can be bit more free and creative, but still relatively formal.

I wish we could place bets but in the meantime I invite you to have a REALISTIC stab at naming the new Sussex baby.

We can have Stacie (Anastasia) or Fred (Frederick) but I will go with

Girl: Alexandra
Boy: Leo

1 boys name and 1 girls name each please no massive lists of Royals since Ethelbert!

Eppone-Ray for a girl

Maybe

Frances or Francesca for a girl

Or

Francis for a boy

Frances was Diana's middle name so might be a nice tribute.

BishopBrennansArse · 16/10/2018 23:53

Beyoncé-Mai or Pablo

MrsA2015 · 16/10/2018 23:56

Matilda
James

Isn’t her estranged father called Thomas? So not that.

I think they’ll go slightly less traditional than Kate and William, something more in line with Zara’s choices.

IdaBWells · 17/10/2018 08:29

Francesca is lovely, but she would end up being called Frannie Grin unless they stepped in quickly with Cheska as a nn.

Diana will most definitely be in the name, maybe even first name.

For a boy, I see Hugo.

3in4years · 17/10/2018 13:32

Boy - Spencer
Girl - Rhianna

Alexander

It maybe a middle name, but personally I think it's unfair to use it as a first name. The child will be compared even more with Diana than they will anyway which imo is unfair.

faithinthesound · 17/10/2018 14:37

If it's a boy it won't be Charlie. Wills and Kate already have a Charlotte, and whether they're calling her Charlie or not (I suspect not since it's terribly informal and she's a wee royal) it's just too close and confusing. Additionally, while I could see Meghan wanting to adhere to tradition as the eyes of the world look on critically, I can also see her wanting her child to have his or her own identity.

I love Hugo for a boy. Secondary choices: Joshua, Adam.

I like Diana if it's a girl, to honor his mother. I also like Lily and Genevieve.

notangelinajolie · 17/10/2018 14:39

Stanley

SillySallySingsSongs · 17/10/2018 15:57

I can't see it being Lily. It also has to go with the title they will be fine. Probably Lady. Lady Lily sounds funny.

I think it will be James, John or Frederick for a boy and maybe Sophia or Alexandra

LethalWhite · 17/10/2018 16:04

I don't know Silly, Zara Phillips had a daughter called Lena. Lady Lena.

I think Lily is a good fit. Old but current, and popular in the US and UK. Lady Lily Mountbatten-Windsor sounds fine. Sophia and Isla are good shouts. I don't think it will be as traditional as Will and Kates

LethalWhite · 17/10/2018 16:06

Just checked though, Zara's brother has a daughter called Isla

Scratch that off

SillySallySingsSongs · 17/10/2018 16:09

@LethalWhite Zara Tindalls DC don't have titles though which is probably why they aren't so traditional. Same for Peter Phillips whose elder daughter is Savannah.
