Can I be the first to predict the name? I think they will go with traditional.
Alice for a girl.
George for a boy.

I like Louis and Alexander. I doubt they will use a name that has already been used by their relatives.

merlotgran Wed 24-Jul-13 18:20:32

It's George Alexander Louis.

Nelliemoser Wed 24-Jul-13 18:32:21

It's just flashed up in the corner of my screen. I think its a really good choice. They copied Alexander from my DGS's second name.

Grannyeggs Wed 24-Jul-13 18:33:49

My nephews are George and Alexander. I like it.

grumppa Wed 24-Jul-13 18:33:51

Louis eh? Time to reassert England's claim to the French throne, perhaps.

j08 Wed 24-Jul-13 18:39:44

The Louis will be for Louis Mountbatten. Obviously George for the old (well, not old) king. But Alexander? Is that just choice? (very nice though)

Ana Wed 24-Jul-13 18:42:41

Hope it's nothing to do with Alexander Armstrong....or "Zarnder" as his BBC cronies keep calling him hmm.

Tegan Wed 24-Jul-13 18:44:28

Oh I like it. My dad was called George [well, his name was Albert but mum called him George].

BAnanas Wed 24-Jul-13 18:48:43

So the name is George, Alexander, Louis, we know the sex, the weight, we had a glimpse of his head and now we know the name. Good luck to them and hope they have a happy family life they do seem a nice young couple, but please that's enough for the time being!!!

j08 Wed 24-Jul-13 18:49:48

We shorten my GS's Alexander to 'xander. grin

j08 Wed 24-Jul-13 18:50:55

Perhaps it's a nod to the Scots. (I think it's a Scottish name)

j08 Wed 24-Jul-13 18:51:47

Or to the Greeks! (Alexander the Great) grin

Ana Wed 24-Jul-13 18:52:28

Jingl I bet your GS isn't smug like AA! (Sorry, off-topic!)

j08 Wed 24-Jul-13 18:57:06

Just googled AA - ooh no! Nothing like him! grin

annodomini Wed 24-Jul-13 19:19:01

My great nephew is George. There were 3 mediaeval Scottish kings named Alexander. That will be the Scottish connection. crown

Sook Wed 24-Jul-13 19:59:13

My DGS Alexander aka Xander

JessM Wed 24-Jul-13 20:00:09

Yes, Louis for Mountbatten it will be. Temptation to wave red rag at jo8 rather strong. Resists woman-fully. I'm sure there must be something on the telly...

j08 Wed 24-Jul-13 20:10:47

look, Diana wore a spotty dress to leave hospital with William (scroll down)

j08 Wed 24-Jul-13 20:11:57

jess confused

(I'm not a bull!)

Ella46 Wed 24-Jul-13 20:14:52

Louis is one of Charles' names too, after Mountbatten, so maybe they are naming George after his granddad.

j08 Wed 24-Jul-13 20:16:37

and his blanket has sold out

I wonder if Kate's mum bought it for them in the John Lewis store.

j08 Wed 24-Jul-13 20:17:15

Yes. Good to keep the name going down the generations. crown

j08 Wed 24-Jul-13 20:22:56

Oh, I get what you mean jess! Go on. I don't mind. We won't fall out

absent Wed 24-Jul-13 20:34:53

The Prince of Wales's full name is Charles Philip Arthur George. There is no Louis.

Ella46 Wed 24-Jul-13 20:45:13

You're right absent! I don't know where I got that from? grin

I'm losing the plot again!
