We can rule out combinations of George Alexander Louis and Charlotte Diana Elizabeth because they are already being used by William & Kate's current children.
Andrew Albert Christian Edward
Edward Antony Richard Louis
might suggest that that argument doesn't hold water as two of the Queen's sons have the name Edward.
Add in David Albert Charles (Princess Margaret's son - 2nd Earl Snowdon)
Charles Philip Arthur George
and we see Charles and Albert used twice as well within the grandsons of George VI (four grandsons and Edward, Charles and Albert are all used twice).
What about Isobel?
A name related to Elizabeth. A nice gesture to Scotland. Goes with Charlotte and George.
Isobel is a fine choice. Isobel is a tribute to Isabella. Isabella of Angouleme was the wife of King John.

I still think the name will be found among the current top 25 names, as was the case with George and Charlotte. There are plenty of names they could choose which are less common but still with royal precedent. But they seem to prefer following the crowd.
I can see why people are suggesting Caroline, but it's unlikely IMO because it is basically the same name as Charlotte, being female variants of Charles. Both names kill two birds with one stone as a nod to Prince Charles and Carole Middleton, but they went for the currently much more popular Charlotte.
Richard would be a great choice, as mentioned above, but it's not fashionable, and same goes for Victoria, Mary, John. Any of these would be a breath of fresh air despite being very traditional.
Some of these sound nice and have a bunch of family ties....
Girls:
Mary Alice Marguerite
Cecelia Alice Mary
Yes, not to mention in other forms of the name, there are other royal and family connections.
-Prince Philip has a sister Cecilie (the one who died in an airplane crash)
-William the conqueror had a daughter Cecilia
-the mother of Edward IV and Richard III was Cecily Neville
-Cecily of York was a daughter of Edward IV
The name is lovely, and not overused. And in any form would be a nice nod to both grandparents. Would love to see it used, but not sure if popular enough.
I don't think it really matters if its popular or not. One thing that will happen though if the Cambridges name a daughter Cecilia (or any form of the name), it will soar to the top of popular names right quick.![]()
