Boy:

Master Philip James Tindall.

Girl:

Miss Anne Elizabeth Tindall.

Godparents:

I belive Peter Phillips will be one of the godparents.
Maybe the Duke or Duchess Cambridge too.

[principessa]

My guesses for a girl: Elizabeth Anne Linda
My guesses for a boy: Philipp Mark Michael

And I guess it will be a boy.

My guesses for godparents:

Prince Henry of Wales
Peter Phillips
Ian Tindall
Iain Balshaw
William Fox-Pitt

[Grandduchess24]

Yay! Another baby for the house of Windsor

:) Zara will be an awesome mom
Isla and savannah Phillips will have a
Cousin plus baby cambridge

I think Zara and Mike are having a boy. These could be possible name combinations:

Arthur Philip Mark
Joseph Philip George

However, if my prediction is wrong and they have a girl, then these could be possible name combinations:

Alice Zara Elizabeth
Elizabeth Zara Mary

However, they could choose a name that doesn't run in the family as a first name and then have names that do run in the family as middle names like Peter and Autumn Phillips did for Savannah and Isla.

The godparents could be: Peter Phillips, Philip Tindall (Mike's father), HM and a friend of Zara's or Princess Anne.

[Molly2101]

I can't think of a name they will choose as I think they will go with something trendy, but not something too trendy. With regards to godparents, I can see Peter being chosen and some family friends. We wont likely ever know who the child's godparents are as we don't know who Savannah and Isla's are.

[Queen Camilla]

Another granddaughter for Princess Anne.

Anne Phillipa Elizabeth Michelle

Prince Harry as godfather

[NGalitzine]

Non royal name with non royal godparents most likely from the sports world.

[Archduchess Zelia]

I'm actually quite confident that it's going to be a boy. I don't know why, it's just a feeling, but I'm much more certain with this than with my guesses (plural, because my 'feeling' is changing every day) of the sex of Baby Cambridge.

I have no idea about names, I'm sure they're going to surprise us just like Peter and Autumn did. Maybe Alexander, Jacob, Alfie or Jack for a boy. I could actually imagine them using Philippa for a girl, or perhaps something like Ruby, Isabella or Lucy.

I'm not gonna bother guessing on godparents because we're probably not gonna know about them anyway.

[Countessmeout]

I am thinking or hoping boy, as Anne needs a grandson, and since I hope Baby c is a girl, the queen needs a great-grandson.

I think the name will likely go the way of Peter's, a more modern popular name that they both like, with perhaps family names as middle.

I think the middle names will likely be Anne Linda or Mark Philip (or switch order)

possible first names

girls: a few found in either family, that are top 100 names in the UK
Lucy
Emma
Eve/Evelyn
Eliza/Elizabeth
Florence
Sarah
Alice

boys: also family tree but top 100 (avoiding the obvious royal ones like Harry, doubt they'll use the name of a close living relative, other than their parents)
Jack
George
Joseph
John
Arthur
Louis

They could do something like Smith Philip Mark Tindall, using a surname from Mike's family tree, an old tradition that is growing in popularity again.

I doubt they will have more than two godparents, nonroyals and all.

I'd be shocked if Peter was not godfather, not sure on the godmother.

I'd be shocked if the baby didn't have at least one royal godparent, most likely William or Harry.

[Lenora]

I think it will be a boy, as far as it concerns godparents I guess they'll choose only one royal godparent ( William or Harry), the others will be from their close circle of friends.

[Lee-Z]

my predictions
firstname will be a non-family name, middle name (if any) will not be exclosed (so pretty difficult to predict), if it's a boy it'll be a 'real' boy's name, nothing fanciful like Lark or Jaden etc :-)

Godparents: Peter Philips, and if Mike has a sister than her as well... (otherwise a close female friend)

Definitely don't expect any royal names and don't expect William or Harry to be godparents (maybe if with a next child...but certainly not the first)

A little Girl; Elizabeth Anne.

[An Ard Ri]

Philip or Michael boy

Anne or maybe Alice for a girl

I agree with you. It's almost impossible to guess it's name, as their choices are limitless.

[Rebafan81]

I agree I don't think Mike and Zara will pick a traditional royal name for the baby. They might pick a traditional name but I don't think it will be a royal first name. Some I like are:
Girls:
Emma
Isabelle
Ava
Abigail
Olivia
Emily
Ella
Avery
Alayna
Madison

Boys:
Phillip
Michael
Matthew
Aiden
Jackson
Gavin(I don't like it but a lot for people do)
Anthony
Lucas
Benjamin
Gabriel
Steven
Owen
Maxwell

[MichelleQ2]

Rowan Philip
Anne Elizabeth (calling her Annie to differentiate her from grandma Anne)

[HereditaryPrincess]

How many names do you think Zara and Mike's baby will have?

I think the baby will have three names seeming as Zara, Peter and Savannah Phillips all have three (Zara Anne Elizabeth, Peter Mark Andrew and Savannah Anne Kathleen).

[mslewis]

Her name is Zara and her brother named his girls Savannah and Isla . . . how on earth can anyone make a guess that would even come close to what the actual name will be. Zara is not exactly a traditional girl so I don't see them giving their child a traditional first name. The possibilities are too limitless to even make a guess.
