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

The top-ranked name for a little girl, Alice, would honor William’s grandfather Prince Philip’s own mother, Princess Alice. Alice married Prince Andrew, part of the Greek and Danish royal family, in 1903 and welcomed Philip in 1921. She lived a varied and often difficult life, at one time leading a group of Orthodox nuns near Athens. Alice is a family name that Princess Alice shared with her own grandmother. That means if Will and Kate’s daughter is named Alice, she’d share the moniker with both her great-great-grandmother and her great-great-great-great-grandmother.
