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 love the names .I had my William just before Diana and my William now has an Alexander..knew my Mum and Dad should have listened when I told the I was really a princess!grin

Ana Wed 24-Jul-13 21:10:10

One of William's names is Louis, Ella.

Faye Wed 24-Jul-13 22:12:58

Well I was close, before the baby's name was announced I said I liked Louis and Alexander and didn't think they would select names currently being used in their family. Two out of three is not bad.

Thanks Ana, that must be what I heard blush

Supposedly the blanket was made by a company in Chilwell near to where my son lives [bit of useless information that, but not many exciting things happen in Chilwell so they need their five minutes of fame].

Faye are you psychic?

j08 Wed 24-Jul-13 22:41:31

I might go to Bucklebury tomorrow. And walk about.

They must come out of that mansion sometimes.

j08 Wed 24-Jul-13 22:41:48

Or I might go Friday.

Ana Wed 24-Jul-13 22:43:11

Yes - don't give them advance warning. One (or more) of them might be reading this...

Faye Wed 24-Jul-13 22:44:24

No anno I just like those names.

Joan Wed 24-Jul-13 23:21:07

George Alexander Louis, or to give him his full title:-

His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.

nonnasusie Thu 25-Jul-13 08:52:02

They must have named him after my dog, George!!grin

Ella46 Thu 25-Jul-13 08:55:52

Sorry, but I hate the name George! My dd was going to use it if she had a boy, and I had to bite my lip for 6 months.
She had two girls, thank goodness smile

Sook Thu 25-Jul-13 09:32:21

Louis is one of Prince Williams Christian names. I rather like it.

nanaej Thu 25-Jul-13 09:39:48

As it has been reported that Alexander is the name Kate particularly likes perhaps she will use Alex at home and G for official stuff.

j08 Thu 25-Jul-13 09:50:03

I think they should let everone use Alexander. I don't like George.

But shorten it to 'xander. NOT Alex! The other grandparents call ours "Alex", and I don't like it!

KatyK Thu 25-Jul-13 10:09:42

I love the name George. Only because I was in love with George Harrison.
And then there's Clooney of course.

nanaej Thu 25-Jul-13 10:32:04

I find 'xander' sounds as if it is a toddler unable to say the name properly! I much prefer Alex! Good job we all like different names else we'd get confused if we were all called the same!

hummingbird Thu 25-Jul-13 10:38:48

I hope he's sweeter, kinder, less grumpy and much less violent than MY George. (My cat) smile

j08 Thu 25-Jul-13 17:53:34

nanaej he doesn't call himself that. Just us grownups. So we must all sound like toddlers.

Perhaps you could say that about any name shortening.

Faye Thu 25-Jul-13 18:08:43

I prefer three given names too, my ex, my son and two of my grandsons have three given names.

GadaboutGran Thu 25-Jul-13 20:10:46

Some very noisy police helicopters circling over where I live must be keeping little Georgie awake. At a cost of £900 an hour I think there should be a tax on foreign paparazzi to pay for them (I say foreign because UK press usually keep to the agreement not to take prying shots).
We're unlikely to get much police response to any burglaries for a while.
j08 - for the next 3 weeks you can drive past the front gate of Middletonia but you can't stop.

j08 Thu 25-Jul-13 20:39:45

Oh. Wow! Thanks Gadabout. smile We will drive very slowly. And then go round again.

Ana Thu 25-Jul-13 20:51:19

You can go on your bike....
