A survey carried out by babies.co.uk, one of Britain's most popular baby websites found the public hoping the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge would have a baby girl and name her in honour of the late Princess Diana.
Over 80% of those polled hoped that the royal couple would choose a traditional name, with a minority thinking they should go for something unique for the baby who could one day be King or Queen. Some 72% hoped the baby would be a girl.
James Macfarlane Managing Director of babies.co.uk said: "This is reflected in the survey results, with George and Alexander leading the way for the boys, Victoria and Diana for the girls. And there's another suggested tribute to the Princess of Wales, with one-in-ten suggesting Spencer as a boy's name.
"But would the Palace old guard accept the Diana connection?"
"Interestingly, only one of the top twenty names on our database appeared near the top of the royal baby poll," said James, "Amelia's been a very popular name recently - probably because of the Doctor Who factor, so why not?"
Right down at the bottom of the heap come the more imaginative and outlandish name suggestions, with 1% suggesting Aurora, the name of the princess from Sleeping Beauty. The boys don't get off lightly, with one suggestion of Piers.
"That would keep at least one Britain's Got Talent judge happy if nothing else," said James Macfarlane.
These results mirror the odds given by most bookmakers, with Victoria and George favourites at odds of 10-1 at William Hill, with Elizabeth, Charles and Diana coming up on the rails. Hopeful punters might like to put a pound on Waynetta at 1,000-1.
