who wants to speculate on willkat's first child's name?

[darleneconnor]

I know they've only just got engaged but an heir and a spare will be on their way soon enough.
My first thoughts are:
George/ georgia
Arthur
Alexandra
Edward
Elizabeth
Matilda
Jane
Victoria
Diana
James

[freesias]

If it's twins they could name after the other royal couple
and try
david and victoria

[gorionine]

You have not given this much thought then freesias?

[freesias]

yes go i have been giving this far to much thought it at least takes my mind of my own naming dilemmas

[gorionine]

Have you got a thread on ATM for your own choices? Boy? Girl? Both? Can we help

[freesias]

personally i'd love her to go for something hyphenated and deemed ultra c*y on mumsnet . i give you princess lilydaisy -mae or prince jayden-kai . probably not going to happenn but the mumsnet baby names thread would have apoplexy .

[freesias]

go have had ongoing threads on babynames for the past year but have now finally settled it . now just thinking about a name for number 9 (ttc atm) if we're so lucky.

[gorionine]

That is what I call organised!

All the best!

[IslaValargeone]

Frances Elizabeth

[Whatevs]

George for a boy

Emily, Alice, Lucy for a girl.

[Ponders]

oooh, Lucy has made me start thinking of Narnia - they could have

Caspian
Peter
Edmund
Eustace

or Puddleglum, Reepicheep, Breehy-hinny-brinny-hoohy-hah

[freesias]

on a narnia theme how about
susan

aurora - princess aurora does sound beautiful

[freesias]

go only being organised because dc8 was over a year before we finally stopped arguing about her name

[CarefulWithThatAxeEugene]

Arthur has certainly not been deliberately avoided - not if the story is true that Prince Charles wanted William to be Arthur, but Diana vetoed the name. Sounds a believable tale to me.

As for 'Mary' being 'too papist' - good heavens, the RF has always been chockablock with Marys. It's one of the Queen's names, after her grandmother.

Has there been a recent Elizabeth in the RF? I think not, and I wonder if it has been kind of "reserved" for Charles and then William. Doesn't mean it would necessarily be chosen, though.

Not Unity - what about Unity Mitford?! Hitler's other half?!

Princess Aurora! Better keep her away from spinning wheels...

[Ohwhatabeautifulmorning]

I read in a magazine that they like Charlotte for a girl and Michael for a boy

[RubyFakeNails]

Frances was Diana's Middle Name and was given after her grandmother so maybe they will consider this as a less direct tribute to Diana

[valiumbandwitch]

Princess Chessie

[CarefulWithThatAxeEugene]

Frances was Diana's mother, so William's (other) grandmother.

[Ponders]

Princess Frances not a good sound though!

[CarefulWithThatAxeEugene]

:o

The Crown Prince/ss of Denmark have just christened their twins and the boy is Vincent, so he'll be Prince Vince

[Northernlurker]

Alice is a popular royal name - Prince Philip's mother was Alice and the Queen's aunt, the Duchess of Gloucester was another as well as Queen Victoria's daughter who was also Prince Philip's great-grandmother.

I think Leopold would be nice, also Albert for a boy.

[VivaLeBeaver]

Don't the Royals have a thing where whatever their name is they won't be King Theirname. So Charles won't be King Charles, but he'll choose another name for his King name. I'm sure I read that he's going to be King George as he doesn't like the association King Charles has with being beheaded or something.

[valiumbandwitch]

do they still do that? because Elizabeth is Queen Elizabeth.

[VivaLeBeaver]

According to wikianswers;


He can choose any of his given names.

Thus he could be Charles III, Philip I, Arthur I, or George VII.

It is conventional wisdom that he will choose George VII, in honor of his grandfather.

[VivaLeBeaver]

I reckon they would pick Philip for a boy, Frances or Alice for a girl.
