A thread dedicated to gender, name, and godparent guessing for Harry and Meghan's first child, due in the spring of 2019.

Girl : Lady Elizabeth Doria Frances Windsor.

Boy : Philip Albert Thomas, Earl of Dumbarton.

If some Letter Patents are issued before the birth, of course then it would be Princess Elizabeth of Sussex/ Prince Philip of Sussex.

HRH Prince Philip Alvin Charles of Sussex
HRH Princess Diana Elizabeth Doria of Sussex

Godparents:

HRH Prince Seeiso of Lesotho
Jennifer Mulroney
Peter Philips
Lady Kitty Spencer
Hugh van Cutsem
Patrick Adams

I really don't see them touching Diana with a ten-foot pole. It's one very loaded name for a child, imo.

I think they'll keep it classic, but not too repetitive or boring and no direct first names of living relatives.

Names:
Arthur David Finley or Theodore Charles Finley
Amelia Lisbeth Rose or Violet Cecilia Rose

Godparents:
Benitta Litt
Lindsay Roth
Misha Noono
Charlie van Straubenzee
Mark Dyer

Philip Charles William (I'm guessing it's a boy)
Diana Laura Elizabeth

Godparents.
I wouldn't be surprised at Prince William being asked.
Jessica Mulroney
Eugenie and Jack
Charlie van Straubenzee and his wife.

I'll guess a girl. And I do think Harry is brazen enough to want to name her Diana. It all depends on if Meghan is willing to go along with it.

alvinking · #7 10-15-2018, 06:25 AM

I hope it is a boy. The girl posse is pretty strong right now among the great grand children

Savannah, Isla, Charlotte, Mia, Lena (5)

George and Louis need reinforcement

Denville · #8 10-15-2018, 06:26 AM

certainly not Diana.. or Alvin....

Curryong · #9 10-15-2018, 06:34 AM

Diana will be somewhere among the names I think. And I don't think it's brazen. Harry adores his mother still, and they were very close. I hope for a boy and for Philip to be one of the names. And although I didn't put it there among the godparents I listed, one of Sarah McCorquadale's or Jane Fellowes' children might be chosen.

principessa · #10 10-15-2018, 06:35 AM

Alvin is the name of Dorias father.

One name they definitely won't give their possible son is Thomas.

Biri · #11 10-15-2018, 06:39 AM

If William chose Diana as one of his daughter's names, Harry also has right to do it.

Girl: Caroline Doria Diana.
Boy: John Francis Charles.

Godparents:
Duke of Cambridge
Princess Eugenie, Mrs. Jack Brooksbank
Jessica Mulroney
Patrick Adams
Benita Litt.

I am more interested in what the baby's title will be rather than their name. I know that if the Queen is still alive when the baby is born then it will be Lady "Bleep" Mountbatten-Windsor or "Bleep", Earl of Dumbarton (as Harry's subsidiary title), but when Charles is King they will be HRH Prince or Princess. It will be intersting to see if Harry takes his uncle Edward's route and drops the HRH completely for his children.

For a girl I can see Alice and for a boy i'm guessing Arthur.

I sould say Thomas would be much more acceptable than Alvin.....

What is the problem with Alvin?

Daenys · #15 10-15-2018, 06:56 AM

Wow, guys you are really quick.

I think they will be very traditional with names, nothing modern and hip. I don't think they will name. Probably they will name girl Doria, but as second or third name.
So, my bets are: Rachel, Doria, Diana, Victoria, Jessica, Jeanette and Elisabeth for girl (I think at least one of those names will be chosen.
Philip, Charles, Alvin, Thomas and Henry for boy.

Godparents: Jessica Mulroney, prince William, Serena.
Oh, wait. Serena is Jehovah's Witness, what are Jehovah's Witnesses view on baptism?

Ladbrokes betting agency in Britain has Samantha as a 100 to 1 outside chance as a name for the baby (and probably 1000 to 1 as a godmother.)

Braya · #17 10-15-2018, 06:59 AM

I think it would be best for them not to get the titel of prince/princess. They won’t be expected to take on Royal duties and not having the title of prince/princess probably makes that easier.

Do they take bets on Ninaki?

Madame Verseau · #19 10-15-2018, 07:06 AM

Thomas is an out for a son or any Markle name at this point, not after the public attacks.

Girl - Loyce Frances Mary. Loyce is Doria's middle name; Frances for Diana's middle name; Mary for the queen.

Boy - Joseph Arthur Henry. Joseph is a Ragland name, Arthur for Charles; Henry after Harry.

Its a very American sounding name, it is certainly not royal and I believe there is a cartoon character called Alvin...
