Hey there, royal watchers! If you're like me, you were absolutely thrilled to hear the news that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are expecting their first child. Kensington Palace made the announcement on October 15, 2018, and the excitement has been building ever since. Even though Meghan's still in the early stages of her pregnancy, fans around the globe are already placing bets on what the new royal baby might be named. Among the top contenders? Diana, in honor of Harry's late mother. But will this name make the final cut? Let's break it down.
What's in a Name? The Top Contenders for Meghan and Harry's Royal Baby
According to a report from the Daily Express, there are already a few names that are leading the pack when it comes to potential names for Meghan and Harry's little one. Diana, Arthur, and Alice are currently the frontrunners, according to bookmakers. But before you go placing your bets, remember this: there's still plenty of time until the baby arrives next spring, so these odds could definitely shift. As the bookmakers say, "watch this space!"

At the moment, there are two girl names and one boy name leading the charge, but there are three solid choices for each gender. The boys' names Charles, Edward, and James are the top contenders, while Alice, Elizabeth, and Victoria are the leading options for a girl. These names all have a classic, traditional feel, which makes sense given the royal family's history. However, don't be too surprised if Meghan and Harry decide to break with tradition and choose something a little more modern. After all, their child will be seventh in line for the throne, meaning it's highly unlikely they'll ever become king or queen.
Could Meghan and Harry Go for an American Twist?
Here's where things get interesting. With Meghan's American roots, it would be a mistake for bookmakers to completely rule out an American name making an appearance. Jessica Bridge, of the British-based gambling company Ladbrokes Coral, told the Daily Express that this is definitely a possibility. So, while we might see names like Diana or Arthur, we could also see something unexpected. But for now, fans will have to wait patiently until next spring to find out what Meghan and Harry decide on. It's going to be a long, exciting wait!
