There are also good odds on the name Diana, in honor of Prince Harry's late mother, the Princess of Wales, while the name Lily is becoming a more popular choice for baby Sussex, a nod to the Queen's affectionate nickname, Lilibet. Both of these two names are highly popular predictions on Twitter.
People are placing their bets right now on what Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will name their baby girl. The front runners? Elizabeth and Diana. I'm partial to Elizabeth, but even Liz works for me. Princess Liz has a nice ring to it.🤣 #Q13FoxMay 12, 2021

Betting expert OLBG notes that lots of names beginning with A, such as Alice, Alexandra and Alicia, are also increasingly popular choices—most likely because of how well they go with the name Archie.
