Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have indicated which maiden names they would particularly like for their daughter.
Duchess Meghan, 39, and Prince Harry, 36, are expecting their daughter and it cannot be long before their son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, 2, can welcome his little sister. As the couple already indicated, there are already first indications of possible names for their daughter. When Harry and Meghan were expecting Archie to be born in 2019, they visited the town of Birkenhead and heard suggestions for names from a group of school children.
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan: They particularly like these suggested names for their daughter
When a 7-year-old girl named Megan Dudley talks to the Duchess of Sussex and discovers that both of their friends are only called ‘Meg’, she suggests a name for the baby. Dudley goes on to say, “I asked her if she would name her baby ‘Amy’ when she had a girl and Meghan said, ‘That’s a really pretty name, I like it. We need to think about it On the same date, Harry shows interest in the name ‘Lily’ and asks the mother how she spells this flower-inspired name for her daughter. Another name appears on her tour in Melbourne that could be shortlisted. The couple meets a fan with a baby named ‘Harriet’, the feminine version of the prince’s own first name. Harry enthuses: “That’s a great name.”
The British bet on the name ‘Philippa’
Since the death of Prince Philip, † 99, in April, the British have been using the name ‘Philippa’ as a popular prediction for the daughter of Meghan and Harry. “The popularity for Baby Philippa never ends,” said Jessica O’Reilly of the Ladbrokes betting company in London. Should the Sussex couple pay tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh with the name of their child, they would not be alone. Harry’s cousins Princess Eugenie, 31, and Zara Tindall, 40, honored their grandfather shortly before his death by giving their newborn sons the middle name Philip.
