I'm looking at patterns and trying to predict based on what the used for Royal Babies #1 and #2

---

George Alexander Louis
- FN was granddad and great-great-granddad's middle names
- MN1 not used in the recent, immediate male family though Alexandra is great-grandma's middle name
- MN2 also dad's middle name, plus Louise is great-aunt's middle name

---

Charlotte Elizabeth Diana
- FN not used in immediate royal family but Charles is granddad's FN and uncle's MN
- MN1 lots of namesakes including mother and great-grandma
- MN2 no royal connotation but honours paternal grandma

---

So... All that said! My picks for Royal Baby #3 and why

---

Frederick Arthur Philip
- FN hasn't been used recently but was great-great granddad's middle name
- MN1 much more popular as dad's, granddad's and great-great granddad's middle name
- MN2 used by great-grandfather, granddad and dad.

---

Amelia Mary Carole
- FN has no royal association but hangs around the same popularity as Charlotte and George plus is regal on the continent.
- MN1 also great-grandma's middle name and strong Christian association
- MN2 direct honouring of a grandma, much like Charlotte's 2nd mn.
