				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center"><img src="http://xothebump.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/will-and-kate-2-652.jpg?w=650" /></p><p>What will Kate Middleton and Prince William name their royal baby? We&#8217;ve got a few guesses!</p>
<p><strong>Traditional royal names</strong></p>
<p>Chances are, Will and Kate will go traditional &#8212; after all, this baby will one day be King or Queen of England! In other words, they&#8217;re likely use a traditional royal name. A few no-fail choices include:</p>
<p><em>George</em><b><em> -</em> </b>George was the name of Queen Elizabeth’s beloved father, the king who led Britain through World War II.</p>
<p><em>Philip<b> -</b></em> Philip is the name of the baby’s great-grandfather, husband of the reigning queen.</p>
<p><em>Arthur<b> -</b></em> Queen Victoria had a son named Arthur. (And we keep thinking of <em>The Sword and the Stone</em> &#8212; love it!)</p>
<p><em>Elizabeth</em> – Obviously, this is the current Queen of England and William’s grandmother. Bonus: Kate also has a grandmother named Elizabeth!</p>
<p><em>Victoria</em> – Queen Victoria was one of the most famous queens in British history; she ruled through most of the 19th century. We like that there&#8217;s a lot of history with this name, but it still has a modern ring to it.</p>
<p><strong>Not exactly royal but still solid choices</strong></p>
<p><em>Diana</em> &#8211; It seems like naming your baby after your late mom would be the traditional thing to do, but keep in mind that Diana isn&#8217;t a historically royal name. If it&#8217;s a girl, Kate and Will are more likely to use Diana as a middle name (royal babies often have <em>three</em> middle names), but they <em>might</em> choose to break tradition and make it a first name.</p>
<p><em>Spencer</em> &#8211; If it&#8217;s a boy, this could be a nod to mom &#8212; her maiden name.</p>
<p><em>Caroline</em> – This would be another cute, meaningful name for a girl. It&#8217;s a feminine version of Charles. Plus, Kate’s mother’s name is Carole.</p>
<p><strong>A little off-beat</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s less likely the couple will go off-beat with the baby&#8217;s name &#8212; so we&#8217;re not betting on any of these making the name list &#8212; but these are a few names with special significance to the couple that could be cute:</p>
<p><em>Andrews</em> &#8211; They met at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.</p>
<p><em>Hope</em> &#8211; The royal couple first lived together in a flat at 13A Hope Street at St. Andrews.</p>
<p><em>Abbey</em> &#8211; They were married at Westminster Abbey in London.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center"><img src="http://xothebump.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/emmys.jpeg?w=650" /></p><p>Dreaming of your child being a famous actor or actress someday? Name your baby after the nominees and winners of last night&#8217;s Emmy Awards and give them hope to someday hold one of those heavy awards themselves.</p>
<p><strong>Lena (<em>Girls</em>)</strong></p>
<p>Triple threat Lena Dunham was nominated for acting, writing and directing her new show <em>Girls</em>. Although she did not win any awards, the fact that the young woman was nominated for three Emmys at only 26 will definitely give your daughter the drive to achieve and work as hard as she did.</p>
<p><strong>Aaron (<em>Breaking Bad</em>)</strong></p>
<p>Aaron Paul may play a loser sidekick of a drug lord on <em>Breaking Bad</em>, but the actor&#8217;s adorable smile and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series win completely overshadow that. The actor also tweeted &#8220;Yeah science!&#8221; after his win and who wouldn&#8217;t want their son to love science?</p>
<p><strong>Claire (<em>Homeland</em>)</strong></p>
<p><em>Homeland</em> was the dramatic darling of last night winning in almost all categories it was nominated for. The beautiful Claire Danes won Best Actress in a Drama for her skillful role of Carrie Mathison. Hopefully your girl won&#8217;t turn out to be too dramatic, but just as talented as Ms. Danes.</p>
<p><strong>Damian (<em>Homeland</em>)</strong></p>
<p>Another win for <em>Homeland</em> came in the Outstanding Actor in a Drama category. The handsome Damian Lewis won for his role as a marine sergeant on the show. If your son inherits half the looks and talent of Damian, he&#8217;s sure to be a star.</p>
<p><strong>Julianne (<em>Game Change</em>)</strong></p>
<p>Julianne Moore&#8217;s stellar take at Sarah Palin in <em>Game Change</em> won her Outstanding Actress in a Miniseries or TV Movie. In her uncanny portrayal of the former vice presidential candidate, Julianne proved that she could take historical characters and bring them to life with dignity.</p>
<p><strong>Eric (<em>Modern Family</em>)</strong></p>
<p>If <em>Homeland</em> was the dramatic darling of the evening, there is no doubt that <em>Modern Family</em> was the comedic one. Eric Stonestreet won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy for his hilarious turn as Cameron Tucker in one of our favorite shows.</p>
<p><strong>Amy (<em>Parks and Recreation</em>)</strong></p>
<p>Amy Poehler was nominated for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy for <em>Parks and Recreation</em>. Name your daughter after this funny lady to never go a day without laughing.</p>
<p><strong>Jon (<em>Two and a Half Men</em>)</strong></p>
<p>Jon Cryer of <em>Two and a Half Men</em> finally won Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy after having only been nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in years past. Give your son similar fatherly qualities as Cryer&#8217;s character Alan Harper with this simple and classic name.</p>
<p><strong>Jessica (<em>American Horror Story</em>)</strong></p>
<p>Although we don&#8217;t like to think of horror when it comes to our babies, Jessica Lange&#8217;s talented turn in <em>American Horror Story</em> earned her an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries. Ignore the horror, but celebrate the talent in your daughter by naming her after Miss Lange.</p>
<p><strong>Jared (<em>Mad Men</em>)</strong></p>
<p>Even as a lesser known character on the hit drama <em>Mad Men</em>, Jared Harris shined bright enough to gain an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama. His character Lane Pryce may not have the best morals and ideals, but name him after the actor to help him remember there are no small parts, only small actors.</p>
