Charles' godfather was Louis Mountbatten who he was very close to and was Philip's great uncle. he also set up Elizabeth and Philip so he was an important person to the family. its also one of Williams middle names,
Middle name sure, but I'm still doubt they would want a King Louis.
I think it's a VERY unlikely name but I doubt the Queen would actually veto it. also remember that the French and English thrones are historically very linked through intermarriage so in and of itself the French link would not be that big a deal. the bigger issue would be the potential political issue with Ireland given Louis Mountbatten's assassination by the IRA.

That is true, but it has been a LONG time since they intermarried. I think Charles I was the last monarch with a French consort and he got his head cut off, in no small part because everyone hated his French wife.
They aren't going modern. Why do people even think stupid shit like that? She was called Kate her whole life and dumped it for Catherine as soon as she got engaged. They aren't naming their child something edgy when Kate was too informal. This baby will be king.
I am guessing Phillip Henry Spencer. After his great-grandfather, uncle, and grandmother's family. And maybe one name Kate cares about. Maybe.
