Possible names for the new Lord or Lady Wessex

[jcbcode99]

Beatrix Fan---those are interesting choices--I rather like Beryl. How did you come to fancy them?

[Frideswide]

If they opted for a name like Beverley, Kim, or Hilary, it would do for a boy or a girl ....

Well, I've always thought it'd be rather funny to have a Prince Eggbert so a Lord Eggbert would be the next best thing but I actually like the name Beryl and it's got a lovely meaning apparantly so I think Lady Beryl Mountbatten-Windsor would be quite grand.

[LaPlusBelle]

I like Philip Edward Robert James.

For a girl, Sophie Julie Victoria Anne.

Or some combination of those names.

wow...that's interesting.....I named my daughter Alexandra Caroline and my middle name is Frances (that I've always hated)

I only entertained English queen names for my daughter for several reasons.....1) they're classic 2) I'm from North Carolina and Caroline is a nod to the home state I so love 3) they'll carry her well through her entire life......Grandma Brittany will just sound strange in 60 years

[Duke of Thora]

For a girl I think it highly likely either Lady Elizabeth-Mary, Lady Mary, or lady May. I felt Louise was a bit of a surprise. they probably expected a boy. If
he had been a boy it would have been Lord Louis Mountbatten-Windsor for sure. The supposed connection with Queen Louise of Sweden istoo tenous. But Lord Phillip or Lord Louis could still be the go. But what about something
left of centre ,Lord Juan Carlos, that would put the cats amongst the pigeons. Or Lord Humphrey?

[Duke of Thora]

There are lots of fabulous 'berts' from the early middle ages. Adelbert, Egbert, Camembert etc. Even Croquembert shouldn't be discounted. Pity the poor lad at Eton though... he's a croque!!!!

[lashinka2002]

I'll bet there will be the name Victoria in there somewhere!

[morhange]

If the baby is a girl, I like Alexandra Helen Margaret Mary. For a boy, I LOVE George Philip Albert Christopher or George Philip Edward Christopher.

I suspect no Beryl. It harkens back to the dangerous times of the 1920s and 1930s, when Beryl Markham, a famous aviatrix, was a lover of the Duke of Gloucester and possibly the Duke of Kent. (How strange it is to think of the staid but irritable Duke of Gloucester having a wild fling -- the Queen's uncle that is, not the current incumbent!)

I'm still sticking with Alice, although I love Alexandra too. But I bet since there's a Louise, Alice would be a natural... especially since Edward probably spent a lot of time with his grandmother, Princess Alice.

I have NO opinion if it's a male.

[PrincessElena]

I was very happy to hear of Sophie and Edward having a second child, yet a bit afraid. Hopefully she will give birth to a lovely boy this time, but I think they would be just as happy for a little girl too.

I think if the baby will be a boy, he will be named George Philip Edward Christopher.

If a girl, I think she will be named Sophie Charlotte Victoria Daisy.

correct me if I am wrong, but once the Countess of Wessex said that she liked the name Daisy, but it was not a very regal name and they did not use it. that is why I have said Daisy.

[Fashionista100]

Girl: Caroline Anne Sophia Jane or Amelia Jane Sophie Alexandra

Boy: James Richard Edward Phillip or David John Alexander Arthur

The royal family will not use John. Its considered unlucky. Apparently Diana wanted to call one of her boys John & was told no.

As for David it is Viscount Linley's name but is not popular within the family due to its connection with the Duke of Windsor.

I think that Albert Phillip George Arthur might be more likely

[iowabelle]

I had a thought.... Edward is supposed to be close to Princess Anne, so maybe Anne. But I would rather they choose another name. (Sorry, Princess Royal.)

[Georgia]

I don't think they will pick an old fashioned name like albert or Frederick. Louise is quite modern so I think it will match that but still be approporate for a Royal baby.

[wymanda]

What about

Albert Edward George Phillip

or

Edwina Georgina Phillipa Alberta

[Russophile]

Okay, here goes:
Male: Philip Albert Arthur Edward Charles (he's special, he get 5! :) )
Female: Jane Isabella Catherine Anne.

[sydney00]

i'd guess they will have a little surprise in it, and also, like said before, maybe kind of an historic name, which is still modern :]
well i m laughing about names like edwina and i'd say that they wouldn t choose those because the children are supposed to life a normal life, but with them, you are really special anyway
