I had a feeling it'd be a girl

I wonder if they will have Diana as the middle name.

I do hope NOT!

I do hope NOT!

OH CLKD  :'( :'(Why ever not???? - Diana is a nice name & Diana was Williams Mother, Why do you hope it will not be included?
Title: Re: Congratulations - Kate and William
Post by: CLKD on May 02, 2015, 04:42:16 PM
Because ………… historically the name isn't included in the Royal 'line' and it will detract from the child's up-bringing in constant comparisons etc..

Sorry but that is rubbish CLKD - I am very upset by that response.
It may not be a good first/Christian name but surely Diana can be included somewhere  :-\ :-\

I quite like Alice Victoria as a name or Alice Alexandra.

Alice Victoria Diana Windsor.  If they want Diana they will have it, they are making progress in changing the monarchy.

Lovely news and from the brief glimpse she looks like her big brother.

Like Diana or not she was Williams mum and if he wants her name for his daughter then so be it. I don't think William is influenced by many and that's great with me.

My kids names include parents who have passed away. It just seemed the right....and proper thing to do.

Kate was looking blooming too. Gorgeous colour of outfit & immaculate hair as usual. Baby looked very like George.

Can you even imagine how hard that would be for a new mum. Having the worlds media beeming your picture around every country and she has to look as good as she did.
Bet she is in bed now with her Jim jams on, feeling rubbish and blooming sore and glad she does not have to pop her nose over the door for weeks.

Good on her, just at the time when you probably feel the biggest mess you have to smile and look good.

Wonder if they give out medals for that. Duchess or Princess or pauper, we all push them out the same way.

I bet mums around the world are thinking the same  ::)

It makes me a bit sad seeing Diana's grandchildren being born, she would have been so proud. I really hope they do include Diana in the names....and perhaps Charlotte. Whatever anyone thinks about Diana, she adored her boys.

I do agree Judith, having 'Diana' as a middle name would be lovely, she's missed out on so much

I think it is lovely news and Katie has become a very professional royal considering she was not born and raised to it.  Of course they didn't hang around in the cold answering questions yesterday, silly reporter.  She was 10 hours post natal for goodness sake  ::)

I like Alice Diana Charlotte for a name. George is George Alexander Louis isn't he?

i wonder if Kate likes some of the modern girls names ? that might reflect the times now - it must be restricting for her to have the more classic names favoured by everyone - it is after all her little baby.

Yes and there could be a family name she likes.  I am sure we will be told soon.
Title: Re: Congratulations - Kate and William

I thought the public would be told by now  ;D - Maybe great grandma has to approve first!
Title: Re: Congratulations - Kate and William
Post by: Judith57 on May 03, 2015, 02:56:41 PM
We were thinking perhaps she could have Caroline as a nod to her own mother - Carole doesn't really fly  :-\

Well, OH came in from work and the couple where he was working said she's been named

I reckon they're having him on, I can't see it anywhere
Title: Re: Congratulations - Kate and William
Post by: Joyce on May 03, 2015, 04:22:58 PM
Pretty sure media would have been on it by now if her names were public.  Took a few days before we learned of George's names.

I wish !

He is a heating engineer and works on contracts for housing associations although yesterday was private work, he heard the residents say it's been announced (but I couldn't find it anywhere, because it hadn't even been announced) maybe they are relatives of royalty and had inside knowledge ??!!!!!
