[The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland] has a new Princess

[DeniseM]

The Duchess of Cambridge was admitted to the hospital at 6 am. this morning. She gave birth to an 8 lb. 3 oz. baby girl at 8:30 am, and went home about 9 hours later. The baby girl is 4th in line to the throne, and her name has not been announced yet.

Beautiful !

Congratulations to the happy parents.

We're speculating on the name they'll choose for the baby. Since their son was named George Alexander Louis, we figured the girl would get a similarly "royal" name. So names like Victoria and Elizabeth come to mind. Honoring Diana would be nice, but unlikely, I think, as would naming her Katherine. I decided on Victoria as my first choice. What are your baby name guesses?

Agree on your name choices. I'd like to add Charlotte to the mix. Another old Royal name.

Sweet baby.

I've heard Alice is another strong contender.

 

[DeniseM]

The official odds:

Charlotte 3/1

Alice 4/1

Victoria 5/1

Elizabeth 6/1

Olivia 6/1

Alexandra 8/1

Diana 10/1

Mary 12/1

*Recently the wagers on "Charlotte" have surged ahead, leading some to speculate that someone close to the family has spilled the beans. If they are going to use Diana for her middle name, I think Diana sounds better with the names that do not end in "a". Of course, as tradition dictates, she will probably have more than one middle names.

Prince George of Cambridge is "George Alexander Louis"

 

[BevL]

Perhaps Diana as a middle name, but probably something a little more traditional for her first name. My guess as well is Victoria.

Beautiful baby and Kate looks none the worse for wear, as it were.

Precious baby princess! Kate looks fantastic as usual, and so does William.

Paraphrasing Conan O'Brien:
The baby was told she will never have to work a day in her life and popped right out.

But they do work, don't they? Not for money to live on, of course, but they're expected/taught from a young age to use their influence for the common good on a regular basis.

Still, I agree it's a nice life to be born into, that's for sure. And the tiaras are just icing on the cake!

ALL little girls are born Princesses. Most get over it by age 10 or so.

All seriousness aside, my DW says "It's gotta be Victoria". I said, "Nope, Charlotte." She said, "Where did THAT come from." I shrugged.

That baby is just too cute ... I bet the "real princess" already has a STAND IN...

Victoria ... my bet.

Not me, although it's a pain in the neck to have to keep reminding people!

My daughter will be 39 next week. She is, and always has been, my baby girl princess. Just ask her.

That reminds me of a framed saying I saw: Everyone can't be queen--some of you have to stand on the curb and wave as I pass by.

Anyway, the baby looks so sweet! It will be fun to see the pictures as she and her big brother grow up.

 

[LAX Mom]

That baby is darling! Oh that face in the bottom right picture.......sweetest little thing ever!
I can't believe Kate looks so great just 10 hours after giving birth. It certainly seems like both Kate & William are very devoted parents.
Best wishes to the royal family!

The Royal Tower Bridge glows ~ pretty in pink.

Beautiful pics! A lovely princess, and a radiant Kate and William. We are headed to London for 2 weeks on May 14th. I can't wait!!

Good idea and no apologies needed, but thank you for getting this back on the positive track per the original intent of the thread.

Welcome to the world, baby girl.
