For a son: Ethan Philip
If a son was named Michael James Tindall, Jr., would there be opposition?
I don't think the Queen has to "approve" the name - it's just courtesy to mention it to her. If she said she really didn't like their choice, maybe they'd think twice: there's always been a story that she suggested Beatrice and Eugenie because she didn't like Sarah and Andrew's choices, but no-one really knows. Zara was quite an outlandish choice for the royal family, in 1981, and Savannah's unusual even now.
Unless they chose something like Apple or North West or Fifi Trixabelle, I doubt she'd say anything, and, even if she did, they could go for it anyway.

If the story about the Queen disapproving of Anabel and suggesting Beatrice has any truth to it it might have gone something like this "Anabel hmm, I read so many announcements of little Anabels because of that night club. Do you want your daughter to have the same name as 10 other girls at school? Or have articles about being named after a club the rest of her life? What about a beautiful, old royal name like Beatrice?" rather than "her name is Beatrice, no take backs!"
We have never heard of her objecting to Savannah, Isla, Archie, Mia or Lena, (which are all perfectly fine names) who are in the same position, let alone some of the interesting choices further out.
I meant having the same first, middle and last names as the child's father. Well, apart from Donald Trump naming his son the exact same first, middle and last name. From at least what I have encountered, it's either the same first name between father and son or the son's middle name as his father's first name. And recently, I'm seeing less children who shared the same first name as their parents, presumedly to reduce confusions. In contrast, grandparent, great-grandparent or ancestors' first names are more prominent (compared to parent's first name).
Honestly i dont like Mia or Lena much.. I don't like abbreviations as names -and Lena is an abbreviation.. but I think that with a boy they MIHGT go more tradtional... Perhaps Mike has been waiting years to have a Mike Junior who will be playing rugby one day At any rate, I hope that they wlll use his name as a second name.I'd not have guessed Mia or Lena in a million years and I can't see them using a more traditional name this time round either.
