The Royal Baby Name Sweepstake

[sp1814]

Okay...place your bets.

What do you think it will be?

Just the first name, and one guess each.

I've emailed the AB Editor, and he's promised £750 of Debenhams vouchers to the inner (to be shared if there are multiple winners)*

I'm going with George.






(*Not 100% true).

[tonyav]

They don't have to use their christened names though when they become King !.

[Ann]

King Richard has a nice ring to it ......... topical too after the discovery of the remains of Richard III recently in my home county!;)

[Psybbo]

George, has to be

[DJHawkes]

what %age is it true sp, did the ed actually promise not to ban you ? lol

[excelsior-1]

Michael (kate's father's name)

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

Alexander

[sherrardk]

I'm going with Louis (after Earl Moutbatten).

[LyndaB]

Philip Francis

[jomifl]

king, but not immediately

[jno]

no French names, the last King Louis of England gave up and went to France, another bad omen.

[Cloverjo]

Aar, sherrardk, I was going to say Louis.

[Cloverjo]

James then?

[sadielady]

Arthur

[TheWinner]

Francis, as Prince Charles beloved uncle - Earl Mountbatten - was "Louis Francis), and Diana was Diana Frances.

[ludwig]

// I'm going with George. //

I've heard that rumour.

errm, I don't know - I'll say Michael.

[tiggerblue10]

Just put this on another thread so I've just copied and pasted it.

Well, I reckon that its either Edward, Henry, Richard, George, Charles, James, or even Stephen or John. Oh, I forgot Ethelred, Canute, Hardicanute....... Don't think it'll be Oliver though.

[sp1814]

Ohhh...

TheWinner makes a good case...

Psybbo - sorry, but 'George' is now closed - I'm not splitting my winning more that two ways

[Graham-W]

Æthelred or perhaps Philip after his great grandfather.
Stephen has only been used once, as far as I know.

[supapapa]

Prince Charles will become King George, read it somewhere.

[sp1814]

Michael sounds way too modern.

John (Diana's father) has been mooted...but...I dunno.
