Kate in early stages of labour

I expect they have ruled out Prince Wayne, Kayden and Kyle so I shall go for Michael.

The Queen has a grandson James or I would have gone for that.

No, he was Albert, Frederick Arthur George; known to the family as Bertie.

Hopefully not Arthur. Wasn't our queens father originally Arthur but changed to George when he became king following the abdication of his brother the late Duke of Windsor? Why was it necessary to change ?

Who actually cares!! Just another Royal for the tax payers to support. (As you may gather, I am not a fan of the free-loading Royals)

nigglynellie Mon 23-Apr-18 15:47:52

He can't be David, that was the Duke of Windsors name!! I think that might be tempting providence!!

No problem with same family names, my son is Robert James, his cousin born 1 day before is Robert John, both same surname, no discussion beforehand and no idea until the first phone call on the day after my son was born.

Not Arthur if you please......too many Arthur``s around that do not quite match up to this young couple`s standard!!

maryhoffman37 and yet here you are too!

maryhoffman37 Mon 23-Apr-18 15:32:58

I'm bemused that so many of you are interested or care!

pamdixon Mon 23-Apr-18 14:59:29

I'm going for James.

valeriej43 Mon 23-Apr-18 14:55:29

I like Victoria for a girl, but by now baby is born and a boy,i dont like Arthur for a boys name,i like James,

Anniebach Mon 23-Apr-18 14:22:50

Or why not Owain !

Anniebach Mon 23-Apr-18 14:21:17

right lets sort this ?

We all think it will be a name from previous generations of Windsors

Charles is. Charles Phillip Arthur George

William is. William Phillip Arthur Louis

Harry is. Henry Charles Albert David

Queenie s father was Albert

Her grandfather was George

I think the baby should be named David ?

I hope she doesn't have to go through another pregnancy - an heir and two spares is quite enough. Hyperemesis is no walk in the park.

Katek Mon 23-Apr-18 14:01:41

Richard? One of the Gloucesters is Richard I think but is that far enough removed so name can be used? Wonder if Phillip will be in there somewhere.

Sheilasue Mon 23-Apr-18 14:01:35

It’s a boy 8llb 7oz. Wonder what name it will have. Can’t imagine that it will be called Wayne, Tyrone or Reece for that matter.
Could be named Michael,

nanaK54 Mon 23-Apr-18 13:52:36

Lovely news!

dogsmother Mon 23-Apr-18 13:48:59

Apologies didn’t realize Annie had already suggested Albert.

Grandma70s Mon 23-Apr-18 13:40:56

Oh, is that why no-one’s suggesting James? I wondered why.

William, after Daddy and Shakespeare whose birthday is also today.

glammanana Mon 23-Apr-18 13:40:03

Annie I'm all for Albert and will possibly be known as "Bertie" what do you think ?
Both my two "dil & dgd in law" are both showing signs of starting labour soon I could be running between the two delivery suites.smile

Anniebach Mon 23-Apr-18 13:32:33

Edwards son is James

Panache Mon 23-Apr-18 13:32:30

Hearty Congrats Kate & William,and baby makes a lovely little family of three children.
I am sure they will be not only relieved but extremely proud.
Names..........There must be a hint of Charles and Michael...........amid other names......time will tell,but we are rather an impatient lot!!!

Grandma70s Mon 23-Apr-18 13:23:48

What about James?’

Anniebach Mon 23-Apr-18 13:23:34

Surely Michael will be in the three names ?

dogsmother Mon 23-Apr-18 13:15:54

How about Albert
