The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their baby boy on Monday evening. After getting married in May 2018, former American actress Meghan Markle and British Royal Prince Harry dropped another piece of good news recently.

Their healthy baby was born at 5:26 am according to British Summer Time and weighed 3.2 kg. The baby has a dual citizenship for the moment owing to Meghan Markle’s American indigeneity, according to this BBC report. The recent addition to the royal family is seventh in the line to the throne.

As soon as the world received the news from the royal family, people have been expecting a glimpse of the newborn. The speculations and guesswork for the royal baby’s name has also begun. The royal couple wants to give a unique name to their child that would suggest the unified representation of both the US and the UK, as reported by the Daily Mail.

It goes without saying that social media has erupted with some hilarious and rather interesting suggestion for the royal baby’s name.

That sounds like a perfect British-American name!

Looks like this is going to be the most interesting name in the royal family. After all, the most unconventional royal couple is the one to be naming him.

Will the name be something like Alexander, Edward or Albert, very British or will it have a tinge of American to it? We can’t wait to find out.
