U.K - Third Royal Baby on the way - Prince William and Duchess of Cambridge

[Niner]

Just noticed this thread - and since the Duchess has not given birth yet - thought I'd put together your

Baby Watch! poll

Any thoughts on birth date and/or gender of Baby #3? I'm going with a girl born on April 22.

Girl April 25th

April 26th Boy

Oh! I'm so excited, so glad they're having another baby.
I'm going to say Boy, April 30th!


out of the race, well 1/2 the race - could still be a boy!

Baby watch? I'll guess a boy on the 15th.

April 19 boy

BDE - you better hope it's today!!

I'm going to say girl on April 27th

They might call him William after his father and because he was born on Shakespeare's birthday.

Predicted names for this prince, taken from the Telegraph:

It is expected the prince's first name will be announced in the coming days, with predictions including Arthur, Albert, Frederick, James and Philip.

I like James, Albert and Philip, in that order. Please not Arthur! though I love Camelot stories.

Its a shame they've already used George since today is St George's day.

The Royal family tend to stick to traditional names unfortunately.
