The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed a son into the world in the early hours of Sunday. Prince Harry gushed about his first child being to “die for” as he spoke about the birth just hours later. But royal fans are still waiting to find out the name of the seventh in line to the throne. 

Baby name expert SJ Ljungstrom from ChannelMum.com believes the name Dorian could be a top contender. 

This is the male version of Doria, the name of Meghan’s mother, and is said to be poplar in the US. 

She said to Express.co.uk: “As the first dual-heritage British Royal, Baby Sussex will unite nations around the world at a time when we all need to come together. 

“So far the couple have resisted pressure to follow Royal protocol for the pregnancy and birth so they may well choose a non-traditional name to better express who they feel their son is and what he represents.

“Whatever names Harry and Meghan decide on will set international global trends.

“An outside choice would be Dorian, the male version of Meghan’s mother’s name Doria. “Although reasonably popular in the States and honouring the steadfast support from her mother, it may meet resistance in the UK due to negative connotations from the Oscar Wilde play ‘The Portrait of Dorian Gray’.

“Whichever name they choose, I also think the Sussex’s will use a cheeky nickname for their child, as they’ll parent him to be as free-spirited and independent as they are.”

Ms Ljungstrom suggested a few other “unusual” name choices. 

She said: “One unusual choice they could consider is ‘Seth’. It’s the most popular boy’s name in Botswana where Harry and Meghan fell in love – and Meghan also has a Botswana diamond in her engagement ring –  so it would seal their love in the most romantic way as well as paying homage to Africa and the Commonwealth, which they both adore.

“Hugo meaning ‘mind’ echoes their mental health work while a Royal name which hasn’t been used in some time is Frederick. Meaning ‘peaceful ruler’ it is ideal for their vision as a world power couple promoting global harmony and integration.

“One more traditional name choice is Charles. It would work so well as Meghan has a warm relationship with her father-in-law while Harry also has Charles as a middle name, so it’s continuing tradition and honouring the family.

“Despite the recent rumours of a rift, the baby’s birth will undoubtedly bring Harry and William closer as they bond over being fathers, so I may well expect to see William as a middle name.”

Meghan and Prince Harry are expected to announce more details about Baby Sussex later today.
