What will Prince William & Princess Catherine name their son?

The whole world wants to know the name of Prince William and Kate's first child. Read on to find out the top contenders for the royal baby name.

1. Andrew

Andrew is the name of the royal baby\'s great uncle. It wouldn\'t be surprising if the family were to choose this as the baby\'s name.

2. Daniel

Daniel, which means \"God is my judge\", is a likely choice for the newborn prince, because of its Biblical roots.

3. Alexander

Alexander is a popular name, and it is also used by Alexander the Great. It means \"Defender of man\", a very appropriate choice for the heir-to-be.

4. Henry

This is one of the top guesses for the baby boy\'s name. Meaning \"rules his household\", Henry is not an uncommon name to the royal family.

5. Louis

Another popular royal name, Louis has been used by King Louis XIV of France.

6. James

The second top contender is James, a name that has been used by two previous kings of England, King James VI and I. It also means \"he who supplants\". James was also the name of one of Jesus\' 12 disciples in the Bible.

7. George

George is the top choice for the baby\'s name, most likely because of its association to four previous kings of Great Britain and Ireland. It also means \"farmer\", a rather unexpected choice for kings and princes.
