I like Stephen (although I’ve known Stephans, I just lie the spelling of Stephen better). There already was one, so there is a little history. There are no close relatives with that name, so he would be the only one, and it sounds nice. I want Richard, but I’m not going to get it. ---

There won’t be a John in it anywhere, I’ll guarantee. ---

Usually there are 4 names. It wouldn’t surprise me if the names Michael and Charles (the grandfathers) are present, but not the first name. So I can see something like Albert Michael George Charles. ---

Francis will be there in honor of Diana Frances. I think Alexander Francis Michael Charles. ---

The baby will be named Michael Francis. (after Kate’s dad) It would be a nice gesture to make her parents feel included in the royal household. ---

They’re both nice names, but for a second son or for middle names. I think they need traditional Royal names for a first, and there are a lot to choose from. ---

We’ll find out soon, but now we know it’s a boy, wanna guess his name? I’m going with George, after his great-grandfather. ---
