More stately names are no doubt the favorite, but we’d love to see a royal Wayne,” SportsBet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen told Now To Love. Scroll down to see more royal baby name predictions!
Favorite girl names are...
If there’s one thing we know for sure, it's that Will and Kate will most definitely opt for a classic choice, drenched in history. Their first-born son’s full name is Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge, a nod to the Kings that came before him.

Alice was also a front-runner during the countdown to Princess Charlotte's birth in 2015. It was the name of one of Queen Victoria's daughter and Prince Philip's mother.Mary and Alexandra come in for the second spot at $24. In light of the 20-year anniversary of her death, Sportsbet also predicts another Princess Diana could be joining the history books, with a $40 chance. In addition, other names in the running could be Grace, Elizabeth, Frances, Caroline, and Catherine/Kate.
Favorite boy names are...
Can you imagine a Prince Henry of Cambridge? What about Prince Arthur? Sportbet has their money on the above monikers for a baby boy, with both names at $20. But given Prince Harry’s full title is actually Prince Henry of Wales, Will and Kate might be keen to mix it up. Considering Prince Philip’s recent retirement, it could be a touching tribute to the great-grandfather to name their third child after him. In addition to Henry and Arthur, other names in the running could be Frederick, Albert, Philip, James, Alexander, William, Edward, and Andrew.
