That's right; Princess Cecilie of Greece and Denmark was Prince Philip's sister. She was married to Hereditary Grand Duke Georg Donatus of Hesse.
She died in plane crash in 1937 along with her husband and three children. Her fourth child, Princess Johanna, was adopted by Prince Ludwig (Georg Donatus' brother) and his wife, Princess Margaret. Tragically, she died two years later fro meningitis.
The name of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon's mother was indeed Cecilia Nina Cavendish-Bentinck.
Wow, so it does have links to William's family history. Maybe W&K will take the suggestion. (a girl can dream)
When it comes to boys, I can only think of either George or Arthur (yes, I'm aware of the relatives with the same names), but those are the only two boys names I'm fond of.
