What Will Prince William and Kate Middleton Name Their Baby Girl?

The name Arthur, the second most bet-upon name for a boy, would tie the newborn closely to dad William, as it’s one of his middle names; William’s full name is William Arthur Philip Louis. There was a King Arthur in the fifth and sixth centuries, who famously defended Britain from Saxon invaders. More closely linked to William is Prince Arthur, the seventh child of Queen Victoria, who was governor general of Canada before his death in 1942.
