What are your predictions? I am sure it will be something traditional like Alice or James.

I was thinking perhaps Mildred if it was a girl. It goes well with George. smile

It sounds like a Roald Dahl character - Princess Mildred

Or Pippa, sorry Peppa - Peppa and her -little-- big brother George

Fumble fingers today, I'm off to do something useful!

How about rehabilitating Margaret as a royal name?

gillybob Thu 30-Apr-15 10:52:15

This is useful rosequartz. After all we are helping to choose the name of the fourth in line to the throne. What coould be more important than that? grin

Still no baby!

rosesarered Thu 30-Apr-15 11:14:24

Will it ever arrive.

annodomini Thu 30-Apr-15 11:19:02

Princess Fiona - as in Shrek?

Anniebach Thu 30-Apr-15 13:46:51

I hope if a girl they name her Carole, I will rather enjoy the squeals of horror from the Diana sect , we had years of their anguish

The Lindleys named their daughter Margarita after her grandmother, Princess Margaret, so I suppose that name's already taken.

I wouldn't mind betting Caroline is in the running.

It seems everyone wants a girl so I bet it'll be a boy.

hildajenniJ Thu 30-Apr-15 14:27:01

If it is a boy, what do you think of Ernest? Or perhaps Stanley or Sidney?

gillybob Thu 30-Apr-15 14:54:30

Eric and Ernie go nicely with Windsor.

We had a queen Mathilda

rosequartz Thu 30-Apr-15 18:04:03

Oh, I left the 'h' out of Matilda blush
or did I mention Queen Phillipa? can't remember do I care

I've got it!!

Caroline or Carolina!
oh, merlotgran has already said that.
I am off to have a wine of merlot

Cassandra Elizabeth or James Charles?

Elizabeth Victoria and Thomas Charles?

Goodness knows, I give up, as fourth in line to the throne could be reasonably outlandish I suppose.

Faye Thu 30-Apr-15 21:05:36

Adelaide Elizabeth Victoria sounds good to me if the baby is a girl. smile

Wheniwasyourage Thu 30-Apr-15 21:50:43

But so much more entertaining if it's a boy grin

Mishap Thu 30-Apr-15 22:04:29

Maybe it's a boy!

Faye Thu 30-Apr-15 22:21:54

My guess for a boy would be Albert Nicholas Philip.

rubylady Fri 01-May-15 00:22:53

Soutra No, or I would have put Alicia. smile

Maggiemaybe Fri 01-May-15 08:09:22

So glad I secured early odds of 66 to 1 on Matilda, now it's 100 to 1 across the board. grin

I'll have egg on my face if they do rehabilitate Margaret, anno. Though thinking of Margaret Rose, I'm sure they tried to do so back in the day. grin

Soutra Fri 01-May-15 08:27:25

No worries rosequartz, there is no "h" in Matilda. "Mathilde", French version, yes, but not in English.

feetlebaum Fri 01-May-15 08:39:26

How about 'Doreen'? Perhaps not...

rosequartz Fri 01-May-15 09:46:56

Not Margaret Rose, surely? Everyone will be making comparisons.

It will probably be a boy, that pink paint was just a tease.
