Well, we might be seeing Diana and Elizabeth down the line after all.
How about Blair or Claire...in keeping with the "spare" theme?
Ha ha like that.
I really think it's going to be different and I will be in shock like I was when Mary and Fred announced Vincent

Whatever made you think of Prince Vince when I was walking about Spare Claire....
That reminded me that my Aunt said to pick a good name for your baby put doctor in front of it.
If you would go to that doctor it's a good name.
Mm Dr northwest ! Dr apple ?

Good idea, what a very clever aunt you have.
How about Bombay for a little boy?
Shouldn't that be Mumbai? Of course, Paris, as with 'Hilton,' would be a good one and a compliment to the French. If going for home-grown names they could try Chelsea or Hastings.
Vincent is quite a popular name with all classes in Sweden, so it's possible it is in Denmark as well. To me it sounds like a perfectly normal name.Whoops! Thanks, got it, GracieGiraffe.
Incidentally, I hope the name chosen isn't something completely out of left field like Vincent, which I don't really like at all, JMO, and heaven knows where it came from. Was it a family name on CP Mary's side?
The Middleton parents were very conservative when naming their children IMO, and Catherine's name fitted in well.
I didn't say anything about your opinion. Just gave another perspective from someone living "almost in Denmark" about that it seems like a super neutral name here. Modern yes, but really normal and neutral.I have read that it may have been a tribute to the French side of the family. It's just never appeared in the Danish royal family and it is an unusual name for a royal baby. As an Australian I remember a few jokes about the name Vincent here at the time, that's all. It was just my opinion I was voicing.

I would personally guess that the BRF is too conservative to go with a name for a spare as relatively out there as, say, Estelle or Vincent but I'm probably wrong. I was very surprised with their choice of middle names for George so I don't think them using an unexpected first name would be a massive surprise.
I don't think that Alexander was that strange. Isn't the Queens second name Alexandra?
Prince Alexander John Charles Albert of Wales was the sixth child of the future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. He lived for only one day in 1871 and is buried at Sandringham next to his nephew Prince John Charles Francis, son of King George V and Queen Mary.Alexander is actually in quite a lot of royal family member's names. One of Prince Richard's middle names is Alexander, and his son is called Alexander with his grandson being called Xander. One of James, Viscount Severn's middle names is Alexander and the youngest child of King George V and Queen Mary was called Alexander John.
The name was probably introduced as a masculine form of Alexandra for Queen Alexandra.
