What will Kate Middleton and Prince William name their royal baby? We’ve got a few guesses!

Traditional royal names

Chances are, Will and Kate will go traditional — after all, this baby will one day be King or Queen of England! In other words, they’re likely use a traditional royal name. A few no-fail choices include:

George - George was the name of Queen Elizabeth’s beloved father, the king who led Britain through World War II.

Philip - Philip is the name of the baby’s great-grandfather, husband of the reigning queen.

Arthur - Queen Victoria had a son named Arthur. (And we keep thinking of The Sword and the Stone — love it!)

Elizabeth – Obviously, this is the current Queen of England and William’s grandmother. Bonus: Kate also has a grandmother named Elizabeth!

Victoria – Queen Victoria was one of the most famous queens in British history; she ruled through most of the 19th century. We like that there’s a lot of history with this name, but it still has a modern ring to it.

Not exactly royal but still solid choices

Diana – It seems like naming your baby after your late mom would be the traditional thing to do, but keep in mind that Diana isn’t a historically royal name. If it’s a girl, Kate and Will are more likely to use Diana as a middle name (royal babies often have three middle names), but they might choose to break tradition and make it a first name.

Spencer – If it’s a boy, this could be a nod to mom — her maiden name.

Caroline – This would be another cute, meaningful name for a girl. It’s a feminine version of Charles. Plus, Kate’s mother’s name is Carole.

A little off-beat

It’s less likely the couple will go off-beat with the baby’s name — so we’re not betting on any of these making the name list — but these are a few names with special significance to the couple that could be cute:

Andrews – They met at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.

Hope – The royal couple first lived together in a flat at 13A Hope Street at St. Andrews.

Abbey – They were married at Westminster Abbey in London.

Worst Baby Names of 2013

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s (er, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge) first wedding anniversary is this Sunday, April 29th. Can you believe it’s been a year since that wedding craziness? I don’t know about you guys, but I watched all the royal wedding specials leading up to the main event and then I woke up at 4 a.m. for the viewing (and then I took a nap after!). My friend even DVR’ed it and we watched the highlights a few days later. Needless to say, I was a bit obsessed. It was hard not to get caught up in all of that excitement!

Now with all the tabloid on baby bump watch 24/7 for Wills and Kate’s firstborn — we’re wondering what they’ll name their kid when Kate gets pregnant. Will they go with traditional royal names like Charles, Elizabeth, Henry or Anne? Or will they go contemporary? Prince William’s cousin is named Zara, which is as contemporary as it gets for the royal family.

If you’re in the market for a baby name, why not name your kid something that’s fit for royalty? Here are a couple of monikers fit for the monarchy:

Royal Girl Names: Elizabeth, Anne, Beatrice, Eugenie, Louise, Victoria, Alexandra, Charlotte, Sophia, Alice

Royal Boy Names: Charles, Henry, George, Edward, Andrew, Philip, Arthur, James, Albert, Louis

Happy first anniversary, Will and Kate! What do you think of these royal-inspired names? Will you give your baby a royal name, or did you give your child one of these names?
