Makes me think of Bill Lawry and VB....I'm sure they do too ; )

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.

I was more thinking along Queen Victoria but if you want to go the pop culture route... right on!

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.
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?
roosterman77
Charlene? If they pronounce it in an Australian accent then 'yes' and she can be betrothed to Scott.
lucabrasi
She's certainly an Australian princess.
Charlene?
roosterman77
Well, I'm sure she is sweet and adorable so how about Candy.

@Jimizo
No. I swear I just googled "worst girls' names". Just for fun. They're real....

@lucabrasi. I think they will pay a tribute to Australia... remember, she is also an Australian princess ( :- )...it's a koala.

Boomquifa? Laquifa?
Is Lucabrasi playing silly buggers with double entendres or is my mind in the gutter?

@roosterman
Diane?? Sharon??
This is an English princess we're talking about.
She'll be Elisabeth, Victoria or Laquifa ; )

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.

Camilla?

Such a cute little sweetheart. I hope the name will be Victoria.
Serrano
How about Naomi?
Jay Que
Alexandra.
Scrote
It's going to be Elizabeth.
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.

Ginger Spice

Boomquifa or Shartzmuegul, please!

'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'.

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