It is not yet known whether it will be a boy or a girl, but in the UK it is already betting on the name of the eldest son of Eugenie di York e Jack Brooksbank. The baby, who according to the latest rumors should be born around mid-February, like all the royal babies that preceded it, it has begun to arouse the interest of bettors, habitual and not, always particularly wild when it comes to the royal family.
The most popular names, at the moment, are Grace, should a girl be born, e Arthur in case of a blue bow: the Ladbrokes betting company gives them 6/1.
“The first bets favor traditional names”, he told People Jessica O’Reilly, company spokesperson, “However, considering that the name Eugenie is quite unusual we cannot exclude names like Tarquin or Matilda”, he added. Other eligible names, for now, are Victoria, Arabella and Alice, given 7/1, tied with James. More unlikely, still according to the bets, Fredrick, Edward, Florence and Albert, data 8/1.
Nothing new, if you look carefully, from the names that are promptly proposed by betting agencies for real births and which are then hardly confirmed in reality. The only ones who came very close were those who bet on Charlotte on the occasion of the birth of the second child of Kate and William, in 2015.
Everything is possible, even if the youngest members of the royal family, except for the Dukes of Cambridge, so far they have diverged a lot from the classic family names for the first name of their children. From Harry and Meghan, who have chosen for the firstborn Archie Harrison, to the prince’s cousins.
Zara Phillips, daughter of Princess Anna, has chosen for her daughters Mia Grace e Lena Elizabeth, brother Peter, instead, Savannah Anne Kathleen for the eldest daughter (the second and third names are, respectively, that of the paternal grandmother and that of the maternal, ed) e Elizabeth Island, a clear homage to the queen.
Who knows if Eugenie too, full name Eugenie Victoria Helena, in honor of Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg, wife of Alfonso XIII of Spain, and Helena of the United Kingdom, third daughter of Queen Victoria, will choose a name already heard. Elizabeth, like her grandmother, would be obvious, but not Margaret like Her Majesty’s beloved sister, not forgetting that Margaret is also the middle name of mother Sarah Ferguson. In the year Prince Philip celebrates his 100th birthday, bettors may be able to reevaluate Philip if a boy is born. In the family of Eugenie’s husband, besides Jack, another recurring name is George.
In one way or another there is always a link in the choices of real names. The difficult thing for betting lovers is to find it before it becomes reality.
