If you were [name_m]Prince[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] or [name_m]Prince[/name_m] [name_m]Harry[/name_m] what would you have named your children?
I would have gone with [name_m]Alfred[/name_m], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Maud[/name_f], [name_m]Robert[/name_m], [name_m]David[/name_m], [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] and [name_m]Leopold[/name_m].
Well you see I don’t like royal names.
Probably either [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Maude[/name_f] or [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] for a girl or [name_m]Fergus[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] for a boy
Using honourish names: [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] “[name_u]Alex[/name_u]” [name_m]Phillip[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m], [name_m]Edward[/name_m] “[name_u]Teddy[/name_u]” [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] “[name_m]Cole[/name_m]” or “[name_u]Nico[/name_u]” [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Andrew[/name_m]/[name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]George[/name_m], girls would be [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] “[name_u]Caro[/name_u]” [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] (pretty similar, I’m just not a massive fan of [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]), [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] “[name_f]Vika[/name_f]” or “[name_f]Vita[/name_f]” [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f].
Using names I’d like, maybe [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] and for girls [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f], [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurelie[/name_f]/a.
I think they could totally get away with a little [name_m]Angus[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m], [name_u]Toby[/name_u], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] or [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] for future kids, although I think they’ll play it a lot safer than that (I’m expecting an [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or a [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] / [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]Francis[/name_u]). [name_m]George[/name_m], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_m]Alfred[/name_m] would be very lovely.
I’d love it if they went properly left-field whilst keeping it royal, maybe with something like [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] or [name_m]Rupert[/name_m]
If I was naming them myself, I’d go for [name_m]Angus[/name_m], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
I think [name_m]William[/name_m] and [name_f]Kate[/name_f] had to keep to the classics, especially for the first. I’d have maybe added an exciting middle or two to spice things up, à la [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] Casiraghi (of Monaco).
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] [name_m]Tor[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Augustin[/name_m] [name_u]Rafe[/name_u]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_u]Hero[/name_u]
[name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]
I think [name_f]Meghan[/name_f] and [name_m]Harry[/name_m] can pretty much choose what they like, but I expect they won’t go too far out there. Maybe something traditional but current, and unostentatious, like [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f] or [name_m]Albert[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m].
As I adore classic and timeless names, I probably would go rather safe choices, too.
My royal kids would be:
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_f]Maude[/name_f] [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_u]Lionel[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] [name_f]Edith[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]
[name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
[name_m]Alastair[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]John[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]George[/name_m] [name_m]Alfred[/name_m] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
I think they’d give them modern nicknames as well.
Ahhh I love royal names. My personal favourites are [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], [name_f]Sofia[/name_f], [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], [name_f]Leonore[/name_f], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Philip[/name_m], [name_m]George[/name_m], [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]…
My guesses for baby Cambridge are [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f].
[name_m]Harry[/name_m] and [name_f]Meghan[/name_f] I think could go a bit more popular but still with a traditional vibe: [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Isabel[/name_f], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
