Congratulations to the new parents and happy mother and baby are doing well.

I do think it sad that the happy couple can't announce their own babies birth or name the baby what they want. It must be approved by the Queen first.

Waiting to see what they will name her. If we speculate, will the post be poofed?

Here's an article from People Magazine with the name betting so far:

Princess Beatrice has welcomed her first child — and predictions for what she has named the baby are still rolling in.

After it was announced Monday that Princess Beatrice, 33, and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi welcomed a daughter over the weekend, baby girl names were on every royal fan's mind. On the betting site Ladbrokes, Matilda was the favorite name prediction with 4/1 odds.

Florence (9/2), Arabella (5/1) and Cecelia (5/1) all follow close behind, with Francesca (6/1) and Elizabeth (7/1) next in line.

"It should come as no surprise to see that punters are backing slightly more unusual names for the new royal baby given Beatrice and her sister's monikers," Jessica O'Reilly of Ladbrokes said.

"Matilda and Florence are proving popular names at the top of the betting, along with other Italian-inspired choices such as Arabella and Giovanna."

They probably won't name her Lilibet - the name's already taken.

I would consider it an honor, a special privilege, to have my child's birth announced by the Queen. As to the name, I doubt she would disapprove of any normal name. Too bad she couldn't stop naming a child Apple.

Matilda is leading among those betting on the name.

I like Matilda.

Let's not forget the name of Edoardo's mom, Nicola Diana. I really hope the Queen's full name Elizabeth is the first name. Kind of fitting after the wedding the new parents had.

My prognostications have been way off lately, but I'll guess Isabella.

Re: Royal Baby! Princess Beatrice/Edoardo Mozzi

KingstonsMom — Mon, 20 Sep 2021 15:34:00 GMT

My faves are Arabella, Francesca and Giovanna, paying homage to Edoardo's Italian heritage.

Matilda... Oh for heaven's sake.

I guess I was out of it, I don't think I even knew she was expecting.

Best wishes to them all. And I sincerely hope they don't settle on Matilda...

@beckyb1012

I can definitely see 'Nicola' in honor of his mother, Diana, not so much since, well....you know.

That awful song, Waltzing Matilda, ruined the name, just like Regina was ruined by a vacuum, and, now no one with sense would name their child Alexa.

That auto change liked vaccine better than vacuum, so changed it, without even asking.

I don't care for that name either. Wondering why Matilda is a popular suggestion for a name. Is that currently a popular girl's name in the UK?

@haddon9 Don't know about the UK but it was my great grandmothers name who was born in the late 1800's. I guess it was popular then! I think some of those old fashioned names are coming back. Hey what about Mabel? That's what my GG Matilda named her daughter!

Oh no Matilda, Florence or Cecelia............too old! I like the others mentioned, especially the Italian leaning ones. Hope they move away from the more English ones. We'll see.

Matilda reminds me of the movie by the same name. When I think of the movie I think of Agatha Trunchbull and the Chokie.

I also think of the song by Harry Belafonte. My grandmother used to listen to it.
