A day after the birth of Kate Middleton's second baby, a girl weighing 8lbs 3 oz, the bets are high for predicting what will be the second royal baby's name.
The new baby may be a 'spare to the heir,' after Prince George, but she will become queen before Prince Harry since she is fourth in line for the throne after her grand father Prince Charles, her father Prince William and her brother Prince George. Her name will be a significant royal name in history. It is also possible that she becomes the next queen should Prince George fail to have children.
While the royal family is spending time with the new royal baby, bookies and UK royal fans are speculating what the royal baby number 2 name will be. So far, the favorites are Charlotte and Alice.
Here are the latest odds for the royal baby number 2 names and the choice of god parents for Prince George's younger sister.
