If Prince William and Kate Middleton decide to take baby-name
inspiration from their forebears, the royal baby could be born a
'Grissel,' 'Boniface' or even 'Lancelot.' New research from
Ancestry.com, the world's largest online family history resource,
reveals that while 'Elizabeth' and 'John' are the most common boys
and girls names in both family trees, there are several more
unusual choices the young royals could opt for.
The royal family tree contains some most unusual names -- with
Boniface, Cyrian, Marmaduke, Slyvanus and Lancelot featured in the
male line; while Eusebia, Honor, Thomasin, Ursula and Hyacinth
appear for the females.
While much of Kate's family tree is populated with more
recognizable names, a few of her ancestors boasted interesting
monikers of their own. Among the boys there is Garin, Lewen,
Theophilus, Uriah and Elie, along with girls named Permelia,
Albina, Edezer, Grissel and Jemima.
"In today's celebrity culture filled with unique baby names,
Kate and William may not need to look further than their own family
tree for inspiration," said Michelle Ercanbrack, Family Historian
for Ancestry.com. "With 'Marmaduke,' 'Lancelot, and 'Permelia'
among their ancestors, they could undoubtedly start an interesting
new trend in 2013."
