For a girl I am loving Grace, Helena and Alexandra. All very classic in my opinion.

How about Geoffrey for a boy? Traditional, British, and sounds very close to Giraffe.
Geoffrey Charles Phillip Michael.
I'm pretty sure we have a children's show calls Geoffrey Giraffe! I agree the name is regal yet in a way modern. I like the spelling too.
I think Grace would be a nice tribute to the flower girlYes, I thought of Grace Van Custem after I typed it! I can just imagine a little Princess Grace. Having a tough time thinking of boys names though. Alexander?
Grace Alexandra Elizabeth Anne
I am coming to appreciate Matilda too, Zelia. I like its sound, and I like it because the Aussie's do, and I like it because of the interesting Medieval princesses with that name in Scotland, England, and France. Eleanor I like too. Gosh, five or so months to go, we will discuss all the names. There are a couple of Biblical names I like, which are unusual but have had popularity. One is Chloe, which I read is #10 in girl baby names, and Rhoda, which means Rose among the many Greek names used in the Bible. I had a distant cousin Rhoda whose parents came from Kent, England, to the English community in Sutherlin Oregon, north of Roseburg. I met her daughter Lilian when she was old.
RUFUS Gilman will be christened in the near future, the son of Lady Rose Gilman and her husband; she is the elder daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester (information from blog of Miss Honoria Glossip).
Hereditary Princess, I am afraid you are right, George may be it. I hope not. Nothing against the Georges who ruled in modern times (V and VI) but I would like to see a name associated with the more happy and modern monarchy we are now used to. I am getting more interested in names not used, such as Timothy, which is a dignified name of long standing (Biblical personage) and would honor the unsung spouses such as Tim Laurence.
I really thing Prince Timothy would be excellent. Unusual choice like that of Princess Estelle in Sweden, whose name honors a little known founding member of the royal family.
Prince Timothy of Cambridge sounds royal. Tim Cambridge, equally royal.

There you go, troops! An unconventional name! This tyke is not destined for the throne, unless fortunes change, but if they can do Rufus, the Cambridges can be a little unconventional? Maybe? Perhaps?
Lady Rose is a beauty. Her brother Alexander is handsome. Her sister Lady Davina is sweet and charming, like a flower in spring. Rufus comes into a blessed clan, may it continue.

His first cousins in front of him are Xan, Cosima, Senna and Tane. All names that would cause Queen Victoria to fan herself.
A bit off topic, but I would never had guessed that Princess Estelle would be named Estelle. I thought she would be called something like Lovisa, Ingrid, Désirée or Sofia.
Does the average Brit really care what the child's name is? Are they tired of George, Edward, Elizabeth and would like to see some new, modern, albeit traditional name? With all of the Alfreds and Charlottes I see in British names lists, I don't think so. I'd say that they'd like to see a new, traditional name or someone like the Queen honored
I get the feeling that what would cause the MOST outrage would be to give the child a name that was thought to be American... such as Braydon or Mackenzie or Taylor, or some Hollywood name like Blue Ivy or Shiloh or Tennessee.
I doubt they care, but whatever name they pick it will be hugely popular with newborns that follow it. The name will probably hit No1 spot for 2013. I've never met an Alfred in my lifetime, Charlotte yes.
You are right, if they name the baby Mercedes or Arizona or Chad then we might get a bit of "oh really?, for the future King/Queen?"
I just hope and pray the stick King/Queen, Prince/Princess in front of it so it makes sense.
