[name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] and her husband [name_m]Edoardo[/name_m] Mapelli Mozzi are expecting their second child in spring 2025! Let’s start the predictions 
Big siblings are [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_m]Woolf[/name_m] (Wolfie, from Edoardo’s first marriage)
What are your guesses?
For girls…
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Chiara[/name_f]
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f]
Wildcards: Mary/Maria, [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
For boys…
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Dante[/name_m]
[name_m]Raphael[/name_m]
Wildcards: [name_m]Romeo[/name_m], [name_m]Philip[/name_m]
I’m kinda stumped for middle names, considering [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Eugenie[/name_f] used a lot of family ones for her two sons and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] already being used by [name_f]Sienna[/name_f].
Curious to see what all of you think!!

I think she’s pretty close to her mum, so [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] in the middle is a possibility? Edoardo’s parents are [name_f]Nikki[/name_f] and [name_m]Alex[/name_m], so they might make an appearance. For first names, I’m thinking classic, popular and well-used in [name_f]Italy[/name_f] and Enland!
Girls:
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Nina[/name_f]
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f] (probably my front runner)
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
Boys:
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] (my top choice)
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Noah[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]

I definitely think they’ll find a nice balance between Italian & [name_f]English[/name_f] names, but not leaning too traditional either way.
Girls:
[name_f]Aria[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f]
[name_f]Allegra[/name_f]
[name_f]Gia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lara[/name_f]
[name_f]Livia[/name_f]
Boys:
[name_m]Nicolo[/name_m]
[name_m]Raffael[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathan[/name_m]
[name_m]Elias[/name_m]

I’m so excited for them and of course the chance to guess a [name_f]Royal[/name_f] baby name!
I’m thinking they will choose another underrated name that has [name_f]British[/name_f] or Italian roots.
[name_f]Girl[/name_f]:
[name_f]Ruby[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] (probably not likely with [name_m]Prince[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] but I love it with Sienna)
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
Boys:
[name_m]Enzo[/name_m]
[name_m]Arlo[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Theo[/name_m]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Elio[/name_m]
For middle names, I think we could see [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], [name_f]Nicola[/name_f], [name_f]Susan[/name_f] or [name_f]Eugenie[/name_f] for a girl’s middle name.
For a boy, maybe [name_m]Alessandro[/name_m], [name_m]Edoardo[/name_m], or [name_m]Philip[/name_m].

@Mary_Rose @jalexis15 okay I’m kinda kicking myself for not thinking of [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] in the middle name!!!
I’ve seen many people speculate that [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] is an honour for [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] due to its’ meaning (sienna = red → sarah and her vibrant red hair), do we think there’s any truth in that?
After a night’s sleep, my top choice for now for a girl is [name_f]Alice[/name_f]! Edoardo’s sister is [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f], and it would also honour prince Philip’s mother, [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] of Battenberg.
some honour names I’ve thought of after a quick wikipedia search
- Angela/Angelina/Angelique → Pss. Beatrice’s great grandmother, the [name_f]Queen[/name_f] Mother, had [name_f]Angela[/name_f] as one of her middle names
- [name_f]Mariana[/name_f] → Pss. [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] had a great grandmother with the name [name_f]Marian[/name_f] who also happened to be related to Pss. [name_f]Alice[/name_f], the [name_f]Duchess[/name_f] of Gloucester, who was an aunt-in-law of QEII. [name_m]Can[/name_m] you tell I’m rooting for [name_f]Alice[/name_f]?
- Any variation of [name_f]Doreen[/name_f] → Pss. Beatrice’s had a great grandmother called [name_f]Doreen[/name_f], who was Sarah’s maternal grandmother
That’s it for now, but who knows what else I come up with in the coming months!

Well last time I thought they might name their daughter [name_f]Lilibet[/name_f], and I’m still a little upset about how close and yet so far I was from a correct prediction.
I’m with @highhippogriff in thinking [name_f]Alice[/name_f] is a really good option.
I think my left field guess for a girl is [name_f]Florence[/name_f], it’s around the same popularity in the UK as [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] and like [name_f]Sienna[/name_f], it ties to an Italian place name.
For a boy I think it would be a short and sweet -o ending name that’s popular in the UK so [name_m]Leo[/name_m] (nice tie in with half-brother Wolfie), [name_m]Theo[/name_m], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] or my personal bet [name_m]Arlo[/name_m].
[name_f]My[/name_f] full name bets would be [name_m]Arlo[/name_m] [name_m]Philip[/name_m] and [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f].

So based on them choosing [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] I think they will pick another name that works in both Italian and [name_f]English[/name_f], with an honour middle name. I think if it’s a boy the middle name will be [name_m]Philip[/name_m] (like Zara’s and Eugenie’s sons) or [name_m]Alessandro[/name_m] (after Edo’s middle name and his dad’s name)
Girls:
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] (sounds similar to [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] to honour mum)
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] (one of Eugenie’s middle names)
[name_f]Gabriella[/name_f]
[name_f]Sofia[/name_f]
Wildcard: [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] or [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f]
I initially thought a boy might be [name_m]Luca[/name_m] but I think that’s too close to Zara’s son Lucas’ name
Boys:
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Nico[/name_m] (based on Edo’s mum’s name Nikki)
[name_m]Alex[/name_m] (Edo’s middle name and father’s name is Alessandro)
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Matteo[/name_m]
[name_m]Wild[/name_m] [name_m]Card[/name_m]: [name_m]Enzo[/name_m] or [name_m]Max[/name_m] (Maximilian)
Combinations:
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f] [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f]
[name_m]Nico[/name_m] [name_m]Philip[/name_m]
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_m]Alessandro[/name_m]
