Royal Baby Updates: The Names William And Kate Are Most Likely To Choose From

The Royal Baby Will Probably Have One Of These Names

Kate and William are likely to look to their families' history when naming their new baby, a girl.

Here are the names they are most likely to choose...

Alexandra

Kate might choose to remember her grandmothers Valerie and Dorothy. Harriet is also a family name on her father's side. She could decide to use her mother's name, Carole - or a form of it, such as Caroline or Carolina.

If it had been a boy, they would most likely have chosen from one of these names...

Albert

They could have also chosen William as a nod to his father the Duke of Cambridge, but also perhaps Michael as a middle name out of respect for Kate's father.

Kate's grandfather on her paternal side was called Peter, while on her maternal side, her grandfather was Ronald. Thomas also appears several times on both sides of Kate's family.

Sam or Samuel had been suggested as a possibility too - Kate's friend the jockey Sam Waley-Cohen was said to have helped William and Kate reconcile after their split in 2007.
