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

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

My guess for a boy would be Albert Nicholas Philip.

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

Maybe it's a boy!

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

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

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

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

loopylou Thu 30-Apr-15 18:19:03

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.

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

Galen Thu 30-Apr-15 16:27:19

We had a queen Mathilda

Eric and Ernie go nicely with Windsor.

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

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

merlotgran Thu 30-Apr-15 14:04:59

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.

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

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

Princess Fiona - as in Shrek?

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

Will it ever arrive.

rosesarered Thu 30-Apr-15 11:13:54

Still no baby!

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

annodomini Thu 30-Apr-15 10:50:30

How about rehabilitating Margaret as a royal name?

rosequartz Thu 30-Apr-15 10:39:25

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

rosequartz Thu 30-Apr-15 10:38:36

It sounds like a Roald Dahl character - Princess Mildred

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

gillybob Thu 30-Apr-15 10:28:00

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

rosequartz Thu 30-Apr-15 10:17:50

Well, not Matilda now that Anzac Day has gone with no arrival.

Ariel, as Kate seems to enjoy swimming? (The Little Mermaid according to DGD, not the Shakespeare one grin)

And Alys if it is to be an Alice/Alicia//Alecia/Alys

We did have a Queen Phillipa once. hmm Princess Phillipa

Soutra Thu 30-Apr-15 10:16:04

Rubylady do you mean Alicia?
There are many "phonetic" variations like Aleesha"(?) , but I cannot imagine them choosing a "made up"however trendy variation on a name.

gillybob Thu 30-Apr-15 10:00:35

Of course most grandmas and great grandmas would be thrilled to share a birthday with their grandchild/ggc wouldn't they because there would be no doubt as to who had centre stage. Strange lot these royals.

shysal Thu 30-Apr-15 09:53:59

rubylady, I don't think they will do trendy! The Queen's birthday has been and gone too, so he/she will not have to share celebrations. Kate has been swimming at Buck House this week, I wonder how long it will be before she goes into labour.

rubylady Thu 30-Apr-15 00:53:02

I'm going for Alecia for some unknown reason. It is a variant of Alice but a little bit more up trendy?

At least now she has got past their wedding anniversary, so baby's birthday won't now fall on the same day. smile
