William's children will be "of Cambridge" not Wales
Both. Even with the Dukedom of Cambridge, he is still Prince William of Wales.

They will probably be known as such, but they can choose Wales as well. These multiple options are very common here, many first born of non royals noblemen use either the family name, their fathers' highest titles or their own subsidiary titles. That said I suppose it's likely they'd choose Cambridge unless the Duke becomes the Prince of Wales by the time they are old enough to decide.His children will be XXX of Cambridge. Not Cambridge and Wales I believe. Just like William was as a child.
William is no longer Prince William of Wales; he is the Duke of Cambridge. He is (and has always been) a Windsor but not Wales any more, even if his father remains the Prince of Wales and his brother is still Prince Henry of Wales.Both. Even with the Dukedom of Cambridge, he is still Prince William of Wales.
William's children will never be of Cambridge and Wales.His children will be XXX of Cambridge. Not Cambridge and Wales I believe. Just like William was as a child.
After William becomes the Duke of Cornwall (when Prince Charles becomes King) and before he is created The Prince of Wales, his children will be known as:
- The eldest son will automatically be Prince Name of Cornwall and Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn
- The younger sons will be Princes Name of Cornwall and York
- The daughters will be Princesses Name of Cornwall and York
Quite so, my apologies.Why will younger children became known as Prince/Princess of Cornwall and York?.
You probably mean Prince/Princess of Cornwall and Cambridge.
Charlotte or Caroline for a girl, with Frances as a middle name/nod to Diana...
I like George for a boy... Is Christian a possible BRF name? I like that too.

is it true, the Queen has the final say on baby names? i am thinking this was said when William was born.
I believe so since I've heard several times that she vetoed the name Annabelle for Princess Beatrice.
How far down does she have control over the names? I can't imagine that she gave the go ahead for Savannah and Isla?
Didn't the of Wales "disappear" when he became the duke of Cambridge, the same way the future George V went from prince George of Wales to the duke of York when he got that title in 1892?

Here's another "different" name, Bridget, with a nod to Birgitta, Duchess of Gloucester, and honoring one of Ireland's patron saints.
I'd love to see the name 'Bridget' used. It's a lovely name, and works well for a child as well as an adult.
Would the couple consider any of the the Danes for Godparents? I know the Greeks are the favorites but the Danish Royal Family have some cousins in the BRF as well
What degree of cousins are William and Frederick?
Their closest common ancestor was Christian IX of Denmark, making them 4th cousins through Prince Philip and Queen Margrethe, and 4th cousins once removed through Queen Elizabeth and Queen Margrethe.
Through Queen Victoria, they are double 5th cousins (through Prince Philip and Queen Margrethe and through Queen Elizabeth and Queen Margrethe).
Through Nicholas I of Russia, they are 5th cousins once removed.
Other degrees of relations exist as well but these are, to the best of my knowledge, the closest.
(Thanks to Artemisia for the relations)
