Help[Opinions] Re: Meghan & Harry
in reply to a message by Red robin
They will definitely lean more towards the non-traditional side, if their wedding can serve as any indication.
I think that they will choose at least one name that has been in the royal family for centuries, and at least one name that honours Meghan's family and heritage (especially her African-American heritage). The family of the non-royal spouse usually goes neglected name-wise in the royal family, and I really can't see them following that particular tradition, after all the lengths they went to in order to include Meghan's heritage in their wedding.
So, I'm definitely expecting them to use names along the lines of:
Alvin (the name of Meghan's maternal grandfather)
Jean or even Joan (in honour of Meghan's maternal grandmother Jeanette)
Theodore or Theodora (in honour of Meghan's mother Doria)
In short, names from the Ragland side of her family. I doubt any Markle names are going to make the cut, since Meghan is clearly not in contact with anyone on her father's side of the family.
As for royal names: they will probably go for one that hasn't been used all that often over time, like John and August. And Diana will definitely be bestowed on the very first daughter they have. William did it and I can't imagine Harry never would, since he loved his mother as much as he did.
With that said, here are some suggestions:
Theodore Henry Charles (would probably be known as prince Theo)
Leopold Jeremiah Charles (would probably be known as prince Leo - Jeremiah is after Meghan's ancestor Jeremiah Ragland)
John Frederick Charles (would probably be known as prince Jack)
Yes, I'm definitely thinking that Charles is going to be one of the middle names, given how close the couple seem to be to him.
Diana Elizabeth Theodora
Diana Elizabeth Victoria
Jean Elizabeth Diana (or Joan Elizabeth Diana)
Julia Elizabeth Diana
I'm thinking that both Diana and Elizabeth are inevitable, just like they were with princess Charlotte. The only question is: which name are they going to pair with those two?
