This morning I found myself scrolling through a celebrity gossip site and reading headline after headline about Duchess [name_f]Kate[/name_f], Cambridge [name_u]Baby[/name_u] #2, and all the bets being placed on a name…then I got to thinking: if I was a royal wife, what would I name my baby, knowing that it would it would be both a potential trend setter and picked apart by people all over the globe.
I quickly realized it’s a very loaded question. I’ve always been a [name_m]Prince[/name_m] [name_m]Harry[/name_m] fan, so I instantly paired up with him in my mind. I realized I had no hope of using longtime favorites like [name_f]India[/name_f] (due to history, I don’t think a British ‘[name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]India[/name_f]’ would go over too well), but I also realized that I had the freedom to use names that were much more regal and grandiose than I could ever get away with for my own “common” children.
So berries let’s have at it: if you married your favorite royal, what are some names you would use?
(PS I chose [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] (“[name_f]Nora[/name_f]”) and [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] (“[name_m]Leo[/name_m]”) for imaginary first two children…but I want at least 4, and I’m sure [name_m]Prince[/name_m] [name_m]Harry[/name_m] will oblige, so I might have to update later )
I would name a British [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
I would name a British [name_m]Prince[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
I would name a royal baby, [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and [name_m]Prince[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m]
The most royal-esque name for a girl that I can think of is [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Leonie[/name_f]. For a boy, [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u].
I think I’d go a bit out of the box on it:
[name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] or [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_m]Prince[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
Oh, I’m so glad someone asked this. [name_u]Royal[/name_u] names are so glorious.
I would do something along the lines of…
[name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] ([name_f]Lilly[/name_f])
[name_m]Prince[/name_m] [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] ([name_m]Ian[/name_m])
[name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] ([name_f]Sadie[/name_f])
[name_m]Prince[/name_m] [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] [name_m]Leonardo[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] ([name_u]Kai[/name_u])
