I think it will be born tomorrow, it will be a girl and they’ll call her Rosa Elizabeth.

What’s everyone else (who’s interested) thinking?

What about twins one of each. Liz and Phil

Brilliant Lllot, no matter what lovely name they pick now I will be slightly disappointed it's not this scenario!

No ideas on name or sex but hoping for a safe delivery very soon.

No, I reckon it's going to be one big bruiser about 10lbs. A boy.

It's a boy called Christopher.

I don’t think Christopher is posh or interesting enough.

Suggestions of Rosa are presumably to do with Rosa Parks:

I wouldn't discount twins.
Only need to get your figure back once then (if, that is, they want more than one and less than three).

I think it’ll be a girl called Matilda. With various family names as middle names.

They said there would be an announcement when she was in labour in the same follow up to the statement as the one where they said there would be a photocall in Windsor a few days after the birth with one tv camera, one photographer and one someone else (reporter maybe?).

Errr why was a thread deleted because someone thought the baby would be called Rosa? Because of Rose the turnip toff??Confused

Rose/Rosa was my initial guess. Because it's a solid English aristo name as well as having the Parks connection. However given the rumoured circumstances it does seem a little... unlikely. My other guesses are Matilda and Alexandra. For a boy I have no idea.

I’ve just Googled ‘Rose the Turnip Toff’. I think Rose/Rosa is off the cards 😁.

Yes, I think if a girl was called Rose, there really would be a royal rift between the duchesses!

Harry's very tall and Meghan doesn't seem to be that tall - maybe 5'5? If it's a big baby, I think a home birth might not go quite to plan.

Ok, so apparently she's 5'6.

If it's a boy I think Edward.
If it's a girl Elizabeth.
Baby better have a nice month being baby Sussex because the real baby Sussex (mineWink) is due next month. Really hoping they don't pick the name I have picked out !

Elective caesarian would be my bet.
They do know the sex.
The name won't be announced for a week or so,
it will be named after a recent cultural figure
e.g. Rosa, Maya, Martin, Jesse
Probably not James.

How about Luther? After Martin Luther King? Not sure if Luther is a first name or a surname though?
Maybe she might not go with her African heritage (though she is obviously closer to her Mum than her Dad) and might go traditional. Who knows!
And still we wait....... This was like waiting for my own baby's arrival! Never-ending!

I wonder if that's why they have decided not to disclose anything about the birth - because she is going for a c-section?

How utterly posh-sounding. Grin

A fine name!
