Kate Middleton: Naming the Royal Baby


Kate Middleton has quite a job in front of her--besides giving birth. She's got to name a royal baby. This is a really big deal, and I don't envy her this job.

This baby will have a title, potentially a huge title later in life, like "Queen" or "King." Therefore, it is inadvisable to name the baby any one of these, which happen to be listed among Fit Pregnancy's "top 25 hottest new baby names of the year." I'll put "Queen" or "King" in front of them so you can get the whole effect.

Queen Briella
Queen Charlee
Queen McKinley
Queen Nyla
Queen Brynlee
Queen Xandra

King Zeke
King Phoenix
King Gunner
King Ajax
King Kace
King Rocco

See what I mean? Unless they want the future monarch to sound like a mountain (Queen McKinley), an abrasive cleanser (King Ajax), or a Xanadu-style drag queen (Queen Xandra), they're going to have to keep their list very traditional. Read: stay within the lines.

As is always my humble opinion, it's wise to choose a baby name for a namesake. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing a little Winston running around the royal palace. Most toddlers resemble the great Churchill to some extent anyway. See?
