Kate and Wills are expecting the arrival of bub #2 imminently (for those who don’t know who I’m talking about, they’re a lovely English couple from a long running reality show). I don’t know if there’s time for much of a guessing pool, but feel free to weigh in here with your gender and name guesses. I’m guessing girl - Victoria Elizabeth Frances. If it is a boy, my name guess is Henry Charles Albert. Give us your best guess! Winner gets to brag someday that they named the King’s sibling. ---

Dammit, I was logging in. Anyway, I vote for Charlotte Alexandrina, same as last time. Maybe Mary at the end there. ---

They have a boy and a girl, and she was sick as a dog with both. Think there will be a third? ---

Kate’s Mom is Carol Elizabeth, so they could name her after Grandma and still make Great Granny happy. I predict a “Diana” in there somewhere, though not as a first name. ---

I think we underestimate how much William and Harry idolized their mother. I bet they’ll name her Diana. With maybe an Elizabeth or a Victoria thrown in there for good measure. ---

Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. Or Alice Mary Philippa. Or Serena Jane Charlotte Winifred after in honor of a certain parent with excellent taste in names. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-spare-heir-is-on-its-way/719081.md?page=2)
