HelpAlfred Philip William (more)
in reply to a message by Kinola
I admit Arthur is the obvious choice for a boy, since it fits so many of the pattern they followed with George and Charlotte: popular, traditional, and with royal precedent, but not used by any close family members.
However, I'm going to pick different alternative: Alfred (called Alfie "en famille"), which is very much in the same style. For middle names, I think Philip (after the Duke of Edinburgh) and William (after the father, but mostly because he was born on Shakespeare's birthday).
Alternative middle names: Michael, James, Henry, Peter, Francis, David.
Other first names I can see them going with: Thomas, Frederick, or Albert.
Louis, Charles, and Alexander would be lovely but I'm excluding them since they've been used for the other kids. James, Henry or Edward are already used in the immediate family.
More left-field choices I would truly love to see but don't believe they will use (since W&K seem very conventional): John (but always known as Jack), Leopold (known as Leo) or Edmund.
A Scottish or Welsh name would be lovely, too.
And why not a Greek or Scandinavian name as a nod to Prince Philip — Christian, Nicholas, Theodore, or Constantine? Or a royal European name that hasn't been used by the British RF, something like Maximilian, Sebastian, Oscar, Felix, or Gabriel? Or more obscure British royal names like Augustus, Harold, or Edgar?

Alfred was once my pick for a boy.

They won’t use John as a first name, it’s seen as bad luck.

I know, but perhaps W&K aren't superstitious. Jack seems the type of name they would like, but obviously it isn't traditional/royal enough as a full name.

I don’t think W&K have the final say lol. The name choice will be heavily guided by senior family members.
