Why not let the users of Britain's 1,000 (yes, that's three zeroes) food banks decide?

'Britain eagerly awaits name of new princess
Why not let the users of Britain's 1,000 (yes, that's three zeroes) food banks.
The establishment could really rub their noses in it and call her 'Prudence'.
lucabrasi
Boomquifa or Shartzmuegul, please!
Speed
Ginger Spice
Elizabeth Heath
Please don't lumber the poor kid with the name Diana. And it's at least 1,000,000 people (note the six zeros) in the UK eating from food banks, not 1,000.
Scrote
It's going to be Elizabeth.
Jay Que
Alexandra.
Serrano
How about Naomi?
AyameM
Such a cute little sweetheart. I hope the name will be Victoria.
SenseNotSoCommon
Camilla?

I know they like the Spice Girls but I don't think they would name their child after one. My money's on Diane... not Diana but Diane... out of respect because there was only one Diana. Personally, my favourite is Sharon. Actually, I once knew a Sharon from Windsor ...Australia... nice girl.

@roosterman
Diane?? Sharon??
This is an English princess we're talking about.
She'll be Elisabeth, Victoria or Laquifa ; )
Jimizo
Boomquifa? Laquifa?
Is Lucabrasi playing silly buggers with double entendres or is my mind in the gutter?
roosterman77
@lucabrasi. I think they will pay a tribute to Australia... remember, she is also an Australian princess ( :- )...it's a koala.
lucabrasi
@Jimizo
No. I swear I just googled "worst girls' names". Just for fun. They're real....
roosterman77
Well, I'm sure she is sweet and adorable so how about Candy.
lucabrasi
She's certainly an Australian princess.
Charlene?
roosterman77
Charlene? If they pronounce it in an Australian accent then 'yes' and she can be betrothed to Scott.
Jimizo
How about a good Scottish name to try to save our collapsing union? Is it too late in the game to call her Kirstie?
lucabrasi
@Jim
Good idea, but a true Scots lasses' name has to be unpronounceable from a Sassenach's point of view.
She should be Seadaidh, Nighean or Magaidh, just to annoy the English.

I was more thinking along Queen Victoria but if you want to go the pop culture route... right on!
Apolitical
My bet is "Victoria" - traditional and classy name (Makes me think of "Victorian architecture" and queen Victoria. Not to mention the word "victoria" is Latin for "victory" - great name for a successful person). "Diana" brings rather dreadful memories involving the car accident from 1997 which was fatal to young Princess of Wales.
roosterman77
Makes me think of Bill Lawry and VB....I'm sure they do too ; )
