I wouldn’t rule out Nicole for that reason, also I took from August’s name that they prefer the child to have their own first name. Nicole would therefore be a possibility for a first name with a nod to Jack’s mother, leaving two other family members to be honoured with the other names.

I agree, Eliza is more similar to Elizabeth than Lilibet. She’s Lilli. Eliza could still happen though Peter has used Isla - Savannah and Sienna are similar in the same sort of way.

If Eugenie and Jack like the name Lizzy, I think Eliza would be the given name as it’s more traditional than that, if not as traditional as some.

I am not keen on reusing a name that a sibling already has (sorry William and Catherine with Louis when it’s one of George’s middle names and HM & Philip using Edward when Andrew already had it) so I hope they’ll use Stamp rather than using Hawke again.

I have a feeling that William and Catherine really liked the name Louis - but it was not considered a British "kingly" name so they chose George instead and used the one they really wanted as a middle name. If George had not been the heir, HE may have been named Louis instead. (Sorry convoluted reasoning, I know...)
