Name for the royal princess?

[CTyankee]

Alexandra is the current favorite in the U.K. I hear...

No Diana, but maybe her middle name Frances.

What happened to Charlotte? I thought that was THE name...

[NewJeffCT]

1. I was hoping for Zoot

the leader of the Castle Anthrax.

[CTyankee]

2. Her Royal Highness Alexandra Frances Charlotte Zoot

May we call you Zoot, your highness?

[progressoid]

13. wicked, bad, naughty Zoot

[riderinthestorm]

14. You must spank us all!

[kath]

28. Yes! And now, the oral sex!

[CurtEastPoint]

3. Chandelier Denise

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

4. Probably not Camilla.

Nor Mary.

Alice and Charlotte are London bookies' favorites, or so I read somewhere.

I'd put money on Elizabeth, Victoria, or Ann, if I had any money to throw away on bets.

Xena would be a good one, but odds are low.

[CTyankee]

5. Right. Elizabeth has to be one of the names. Personally, I like Victoria.

But both are strong and very apt...

[pipi_k]

6. Princess Leia

Leia Skywalker Windsor.

[station001]

17. If only they would, lol (nt)

[HERVEPA]

7. Brunhilda

[steve2470]

8. Maude nt

[shenmue]

9. Zarples McSquiggity

[Generic Brad]

10. Payne

It will only be ironic if she grows up to be a royal pain.

[shenmue]

11. Here's the official announcement on the website of William and Kate

It's the same thing that was already in the news. Nice picture of the hospital door.

12. Princess Buttercup

Taken from one of my faves - from the Princess Bride...

[Wolf Frankula]

15. I Suggest

Amalaswentha, Moon Unit, Eadgytha or Edith, Toda, or Sif.

Wolf

[hifiguy]

19. Moon Unit is an excellent suggestion.

[jmowreader]

30. Baby Moon Unit would lead to rather unique lullabies

[Sheldon Cooper]

16. Matilda.

Or, Charlotte or Agnes. I think Elizabeth or Victoria would be too much of a cliche. And definitely NOT Diana.

[hifiguy]

18. Twilight Sparkle.

[Bosonic]

20. Boudica

[CTyankee]

21. there you go! A real heroine...

[Florencenj2point0]

22. Anthipee

or Winifred

[El Supremo]

23. American Pharoah!

Same day, you know.

[CTyankee]

24. Here ya go...

[ailsagirl]

25. I'm sure if William had his way, he'd want her named after his mum

Of course, that will never happen. Very sad that Diana isn't around to see her eldest marry and have two kids.

[UTUSN]

26. Parasite #Whatever?!1 Sorry to butt into a royal thread since I'm democratic/anti-royal n/t

[IDemo]

27. Lucky

[Initech]

29. If they don't name their kid after the Frozen characters, they're doing it wrong.

[AngryOldDem]

31. Also heard Alice.

I like Alice or Charlotte.

[lovemydog]

32. Black Widow

To highlight the need for a feature film based on the badass Avengers character.

[HappyMe]

33. Blanche, Gladys, Hildegard

[bigwillq]

34. Spoiled Brat

[cwydro]

35. I still think Elizabeth will be

in the name somewhere.

The royals have long names, so there's plenty of room for all lol.

[HappyMe]

36. The baby's name is Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.

Just hear it on the Today show.

[CTyankee]

37. Heh. Prince William just stuck it to Camilla!

Good for him for including Diana's name.

[cwydro]

38. I don't think he

"stuck it to Camilla."

For god's sake, Diana was his mother's name.

[CTyankee]

40. Well, his father was unfaithful to his mother with Camilla. I don't know how nice I'd

feel about the way his father and Camilla carried on their affair while Diana was trying to raise her two sons. William must have seen his mother hurt by them.

I'm glad he honored his mother, too. It seems Diana has been conveniently "forgotten" by members of the royal family. I wonder if Queen Elizabeth was OK with this...

[cwydro]

41. All accounts I've read

seem to indicate that William and Harry are happy that their father is happy. I think they can honor their mother without "sticking it to" anyone.

The whole Charles and Diana thing was wrong from the beginning. Obviously, Charles and Camilla have a true love affair, and I sure won't knock them for that.

[CTyankee]

42. Yes, sure is too bad Diana got her feelings hurt...

[cwydro]

43. Goodness gracious.

I assume you must be one of those Diana worshippers.

She was not perfect either.

I do feel sorry for her, but she was an adult when she made the decision to enter that family.

No offense intended to you at all; I just took issue with you assuming that William naming his child was some sort of vicious jab at Camilla. I don't think that at all. I think he seems to be a mature man who wanted to honor his mum. Nothing more and nothing less.

No reason to name the baby Camilla at all. Would not make any kind of sense.

[CTyankee]

44. Not a Diana worshipper at all. I feel bad for her. She was a kid when she married

Charles and was really manipulated. She had Charles's two sons and was evidently a good mother to them. They have turned out well, IMO.

We do agree that William wanted to honor his mum. And I like him. I just see Diana as a human being, behind all the pomp of the royal family, a woman with feelings and needs of her own.

[cwydro]

45. Completely agree.

Her death was one of those that I remember where I was when I heard about it.

Tragic all around.

I was actually dating a woman who DID worship Diana at that time lol.

She thought the royals had her killed. Hey, who knows?

[CTyankee]

46. well, I think women empathized with her situation. When you get right down to it,

she was jerked around by a lot of people who couldn't have cared less about her. I see her as a kind of sad and lonely girl. I remember her funeral where her sons had put a little note on her coffin. Seeing that made me tear up...

[cwydro]

47. I'm a woman too.

I actually teared up during the funeral as well, though I was not a big fan of hers.

I'm of Welsh descent, and seeing the Welsh guardsmen and the Welsh flag on her coffin was just something. Her sons were very brave during the ceremony.

No doubt she would be very proud of them.

[CTyankee]

48. I'm Welsh too on my dad's side! My maiden name was Williams...can't get more Welsh

than that...

IIRC, the tunnel where her fatal accident took place is right beside the Louvre (or maybe the Musee d'Orsay -- my memory plays tricks some times) when I was there in 2012 and I realized what it was when I came out of the museum and started to walk toward the other museum. It was such a sunny and bright day but that tunnel entrance stopped me briefly and thought of that terrible photo of the wreck that killed her.

[cwydro]

50. I actually got lost in the Louvre.

Family joke now.

But I'll never forget it lol!

[CTyankee]

51. My museum strategy is to make a list of what I want to see and then map it. Easier

in some museums than in others. The National Gallery in London made it easy: everything I wanted to see was in the Sainsbury Wing. The Uffizi was pretty uncomplicated, too.

[ailsagirl]

53. I think Diana was royally screwed over

And I'm not trying to be funny.

She found out even before she married Charles that he was still in love with and seeing Camilla. She wanted to back out but by that point it was far too late. What a terrible position to be in, and not a shred of sympathy or compassion from any of the "higher-up" royals. They all thought she should shut up about it and put up with it. To them, she was nothing but a brood mare.

[CTyankee]

55. I know. She was only 20 when she married Charles...I think she was really mistreated

by the royal court. But she had the blood line...so stupid to us but I guess very important to them...

I like that she found some life in working on behalf of people wounded by hidden explosives. It was a great calling and the organization she worked with got a Nobel prize for its work.

She was a treasure, to be sure...I am very sorry she's gone...

[ailsagirl]

56. So am I, CTyankee... so am I

[HappyMe]

39. I didn't think that they would include Camilla.

[hifiguy]

49. And the winner is

Charlotte Elizabeth Diana Windsor-Mountbatten.

[Arugula Latte]

52. I think it would have been nice if they'd honored British culture by naming her:

Charlotte Egg Spam Spam Elizabeth Spam Bacon Sausage And Spam Diana Baked Beans Spam Spam Windsor-Spam-Mountbatten

[olddots]

54. Princess Kardashian ?????

hey it could happen .
