I read Charlotte was number one in betting. Don't know why, yet, unless she's named after her granddad.

Charlotte is the “feminine” form of Charles the babies grandpa. Also the wife of King George the Third was . Elizabeth is great gramma aka -the Queen. And Diana was her dads mothers name. So its a name full of tradition which is something England is big on.

She’ll be fighting radical ISlamists at the gates of Buckingham Palace soon enough.

Good luck, Little Gal.

That really is a pretty baby. My Daughter was just a little bit prettier but still she is going to be a looker.

It’s a fine name, I love Charlotte and considered it for my own daughter since my father’s name was Charles. ( my dad also was born on the same day as Queen Elizabeth of which he was inordinately proud).

Thanks for posting this news.

I’m very disappointed. I had hoped she would be named Nannette, or maybe Linda.

I wonder what the odds of her being named Kan’esha were.

I read Charlotte was number one in betting. Don't know why, yet, unless she's named after her granddad.

I was wondering if the article mentioned the possible connection to Carole Middleton, whose name is also related to "Charlotte." This article doesn't. Being interested in names in general, more so than in the British royal family, I've looked at a few other articles. Only some of them do. (Of course, naming the baby Charlotte doesn't necessarily imply a "tribute" to Carole Middleton, but I'd expect the baby's parents to be aware of this connection.)

I was wondering mainly because the connection is probably not the most obvious. The usual Latin form of "Charles" is "Carolus," which people may know from such famous Swedes as "Carolus Rex" or "Carolus Linnaeus." From it we also get the name and term "Caroline," such as the figures often known as the Caroline Divines because of their era. We also get the "Carolinas" and part of "Carolingian" (named in part for Charlemagne, also known as "Carolus Magnus"). But I myself never connected these with "Charles" or "Charlotte" when I was very young, before I started paying more attention to names and history.
