Stop calling dads incompetent

Go, guess what name they will use - one for a boy, one for a girl.
I'll go with: Archibald (Archie) and Millicent (Millie) or Arabella - perhaps Diana for a female middle name? This post has been edited by antigone_: 04/12/2012, 07:07 AM |

Boy James or George Girl Jane or Charlotte |

I think when they do pick a name they will definitely go for traditional.
They will be naming the next King or Queen of England. Boy - George (after the current Queen's father) or James or Henry - as first names. Lots of choices for middle names: Charles, Edward, Phillip, Arthur. Girls - Victoria would be my first choice. Then she will be Queen Victoria II. After that Elizabeth or Mary as a first choice. Again, the royal baby will have 3 middle names - so anything from Diana, Alexandra, Phillipa (I don't know Kate's mum's name - but throw that in there as well). |

Girls
Mary Victoria Alexandra Margaret ( which I guess is another version of Mary) Boys. Phillip George Charles Albert (the queens fathers real name) I imagine this child will be the conservative naming choice. Perhaps other children down the track will be a bit more flexible. |

Part of me is hoping they go for a name that isn't associated with any past monarchs, but they'll probably go with George, Victoria, etc.
I'd like to see something unexpected yet still traditional. Maybe Marcus or Christopher for a boy. Lydia or Juliet for a girl. I doubt it though. |

Arthur for a boy! I expect it will be George or Albert though.
Elizabeth for a girl, maybe Mary. I think they will be more traditional with a girls name as, if the baby is a girl, she will be the first to be queen by succession, not just default of no boys. |

The family tree has heaps of great names.
Amelia Sophia Maximillian Wilamena Dorathea or Dora augusta Adolphus (probably not) There is also a huge variety of Scottish names they might like, as they spend a great deal of time in Scotland. James http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_succe..._British_throne Here is the current royal family, some great names in there. |
