Baby Name Guesses: It's a Baby Girl for Beatrice!

Well, I was being my usual procrastinating self, or I would have gotten this up a few weeks before, but here are my guesses for the Baby Girl of Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

Edo’s son from a former relationship is called Christopher Woolf.

Christopher is quite certainly after Edo’s stepfather, Christopher Shale, who died in 2011 and I have no idea where Woolf comes from.

But it gives me something to go on, to say that at least Edoardo doesn’t shy away from honour names.

So some option if they go that route:

Edoardo Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi:

Mother: Nicola Diana Burrows (Daughter of Robert David Burrows and Susan Arnot Heath)

Father: Count Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi (Son of Count Gianpaolo Mapelli Mozzi and Gigliola Stoppani)

Sister: Natalia Alice Mapelli Mozzi

Half-Brother: Albermarle Shale

Son: Christopher Woolf Mapelli Mozzi

Princess Beatrice Elizabeth Mary:

Mother: Sarah Margaret Ferguson (daughter of Major Ronald Ivor Ferguson and Susan Mary Wright)

Father: Prince Andrew Albert Christian Edward, Duke of York (Son of Elizabeth Alexandra Mary and Philip)

Sister: Princess Eugenie Victoria Helena

So what does that tells us?

Susan / Lily

They both had a grandmother called Susan!

Susan actually means lily flower, which means that Daily Mail article in the Spring where they put Lily on the list of possible baby names, could actually have been true. It would have been a lovely nod to the Queen’s nickname of Lilibet, without using that whole nickname.

I don’t think they are going to go that route, however.

Alice

So my next option would be Alice.

Princess Alice of Battenberg was the late Prince Philip’s mother, so that would also be a very lovely nod to the family of Beatrice. And it’s Edo’s sister middle name and it’s a quite common name in Italy. So it’s one of my front runners.

Isabella

Isabella is another option because it’s the Spanish/Italian/ Portuguese/ IT DEPENDS ON WHAT WEBSITE YOU ASK; ALRIGHT?! form of Elizabeth, which would of course honour the queen.

Though the goddaughter of Princess Eugenie, the daughter of Lord and Lady Frederick Windsor is also called Isabella.

Eliza

Another Elizabeth variant.

Elisabetta

Another Elizabeth variant.

Florence

It’s on the betters list for some reason, maybe because it’s an Italian city? I have no idea. I like it though.

Philippa

I mean, that would be perfect to honor Prince Philip, right?

Victoria/ Helena

Both names with the Queen Victoria connection. Beatrice’s mother is kind of obsessed with it, if it’s not obvious. No idea if Bea also got that bug, but she did have a guest role in The Young Victoria. Also, Eugenie’s middle names.

Other assorted guesses based on the name Christopher Woolf or whatever else I come up with:

Dorothy (nicknamed Dottie)

Florence (who is called Flossie)

Ottilie (who they then call Otter or Ottie)

Virginia (If Woolf is a nod to Virginia Woolfe but I doubt that)

Amaryllis (because it can also mean Lily)

Susannah (because it can also mean Lily

Clementine (Clemmie!)

Violet

Thomasina

Penelope

My guesses:

Currently, I am very much favouring Alice and Isabella.

Alice Margaret Elizabeth

Isabella Mary Philippa

And one wildcard:

Ottilie Elizabeth Mary

Name predictions for Baby Mapelli Mozzi? 👶🏼

Name predictions are always difficult when it's a first child. We know that Edo and his ex chose a traditional first name and then use a less traditional middle name. Neither of his names were stereotypically Italian. But we don't know what Bea will like. She is generally a bit more traditional than Eugenie. She has inherited her mother's love of Queen Victoria. She is/was very close to her grandparents. So my entirely random guesses:

Girls: Alexandrina, Victoria/Vittoria, Isabella, Eleanor, Matilda (triple M), Alice. Probably Elizabeth as a middle name. Maybe Susan because that's the name of both Bea and Edo's maternal grandmothers.

Boys: Albert(o), Arthur, Leopold (having two sons called Wolfie and Leo, the animal vibe might be overkill lol), Alfred, Ernest (names and middle names of Victoria's sons). I still think Philip could be a middle name even if it's been used recently.

I'm completely sure those name choices are absolute garbage and they'll go with none of them but I have nothing to work from hahaha

Beatrice is expecting!!

Does anyone else find the way we phrase pregnancy stuff really weird? Obviously there’s the completely abhorrent “we’re pregnant” thing (oh really, Jimmy? There’s a baby in your womb too?). The fact we say that a baby is in someone’s stomach, that creeps me out. Just babies dodging half digested bits of old sandwich. And then the “they’re expecting” which is not the worst by any means but does leave it open ended. Expecting what? A delivery from Amazon? Because I’m expecting a delivery from Amazon and would very much like to tell everyone “I’m expecting! Due on Friday but there’s a great returns policy.”

[duchessofostergotlands]

OMG I swear last night I was literally just thinking bout what if Beatrice was pregnant right now then she could possibly give birth later this year and the queen would have 4 great-grandbabies born this year! Come the next day and I see the announcement of Beatrice being pregnant!

I’m not at all surprised about it but it’s lovely news, especially after the difficulties of the last month or so.

Send in ⁇ for my muse’s reaction to walking in on yours while bathing

¿Qué estaba pensando cuando ingresó a aquella habitación con la puerta entreabierta con la firma idea de que era la suya? ¿Qué estaba pensando cuando ingresó al daño sin miramientos? ¿Acaso no escuchó el correr del agua o su mente lo bloqueó? Cual quiera que fuese la razón, fue demasiado tarde para evitar un encuentro. Un rostro desconocido y un torso desconocido le dieron la bienvenida y pronto su mente dejó de funcionar, al igual que su lengua. “Oh... umh... Habitación equivocada... creo.”
