Probably George or Elizabeth What Will Name Be? LONDON (AP) — If it’s a boy it will probably be George. If it’s a girl it is likely to be Elizabeth. A chéck of the royal family tree shows those are the names most favored for British monarchs’ babies since the turn of the century. At ieast:six royal children since 1900 have had George among the usual royal string of christian names, including the Queen’s father and her son, Prince Charlies. 4 The Prince’s full name is Charles Philip Arthur George. At least four girls have. been named Elizabeth, in- cluding the Queen and her-mother. . x &* * - Sebond to George as the most popular boys’ name is Edward, (4), and Albert (3). For the girls, Alice, Victoria, and Louise share second place with three each. It would cause no great surprise if the Qieen and Prince Philip veered slightly from tradition as they did when naming Charles and Anne. Both names had been rarely uséd for royal children in recent years. Two‘ other names now being mentioned in London are Andrew — after Prince Philip's father — and Marguerite —Queen Mother Elizabeth's second name.
