I just wanted a light and fun question, so I added it myself. I found out Catherine and William had a boy and there are odds as to what the name will be.
Here is a quote to give an idea as to what betting people are thinking: "Betters seem to be favoring the name George, which currently carries 6/1 odds on Paddy Power. There's also Alexander (18/1), James (11/1), Henry (20/1), Arthur and Albert (both 33/1)."
Does anyone here have a guess? Also, I am not sure if this was already on this site, so sorry if this is a duplicate question.
ETA: I'm referring to Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.
ETA: I quoted the article. I would have written people who bet or gamble instead of 'Betters' to avoid confusion. I am assuming this is what is meant.
ETA: So one of my favorite names is Alexander. For some reason I am hoping this is picked, but I am think George Edward something. I also do not know if there is some tradition.
Prince George Alexander Louis is the name according to the news and my fb news feed.
it's actually 'bettors', oddly enough.
i'm betting spencer gets in there somewhere too. i doubt it will be 'henry' as harry may want that for his kids. george is a pretty common windsor name. i'm gonna go with 'george spencer.'

S.
All I know is:
I hope the child is not named after a fruit, or a car or a North/South/East/West directional name.
Like, how some celebrities name their kids.
But I doubt the new Prince will be named with a terrible name!
Engelbert Humperdinck!
George Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor gets my vote.
ETA: Jo--Her name IS Catherine Elizabeth Middleton!
I HOPE that Spencer is chosen as a middle name! How appropriate. I'm still so saddened when I see Princess Diana with her children. She would have only been 51 years old and a grandmother. She would have rocked it.
Michael William Philip Spencer is my favorite.
Hope they don't put "Charles" anywhere in his name. And a reminder for the American media, she is *NOT* Kate Middleton anymore! She's Catherine Duchess of Cambridge. Meh.
I like Henry more than the other names, but George is a strong English name.
I'm guessing there will be either a Harold, Charles or Spenser (for his late mother's family) as a middle name somewhere in there.
Fun question. Too bad we couldn't do a Mamapedia pool on the topic!
James William Phillip Charles Michael Arthur Henry George Spencer Mountbatten-Windsor
Eh...something pretentious?? I haven't thought about it, I don't understand the hoopla.
I like your question!
I like Henry Spencer Albert Windsor...but I don't think another King Henry is a favored thing. King Henry VIII was kind of a douche bag.
What ever it is, it'll most likely be long with 2 or 3 middle names.
Immediate male family full names (not including titles) are:
William Arthur Philip Louis Mountbatten-Windsor (Dad)
Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatten-Windsor (Uncle)
James William Middleton (Uncle)
Charles Philip Arthur George Mountbatten-Windsor (paternal Granddad)
Michael Francis Middleton (maternal Granddad)
(Mom's full married name (without titles) is Catherine Elizabeth Mountbatten-Windsor.)
They could go with any combination of names or mix in something new.
I'm fairly certain they won't go with Prince Moon Unit or anything trendy.
Additional:
I highly doubt Spencer will be in the running - grandmother's maiden name got dropped when she married.
Diana's full married name (w/o titles): Diana Frances Mountbatten-Windsor
Additional:
The choice has been made:
George Alexander Louis Mountbatten-Windsor
I like Henry William Spencer Windsor :0) Hopefully its not George !
I like Spencer William James Frances
My 11 daughter thinks they will go with Henry because "it's a common king name in England".
I don't think they will use Alexander. I'd heard if it were a girl, they were most likely going to call her Alexandra. Maybe they will save that name in case they have a girl in the future.
Did he get remarried because I could have swore she was Kate.
Meh, so far as the name, who knows. The number of names they have to pull from are endless.
Who is Betters?
As in, they are better than us?
