Re: Suggest the name for the baby......
I think they should include Philip or Charles as middle names, and a Welsh-ish name like David (though that was Edward 8th's name and the Queen wouldn't like it,) or Arthur. James or George maybe for a first name??
Remember that royal sprogs usually have 4 names.
So, James Arthur Charles Philip/George David Philip Charles. Something like that.

A member of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, Prince Philip was born in Greece into the Greek and Danish royal families, but his family was exiled from Greece when he was a child.

Philip's family was in Greece because his grandfather was elected by the government to rule there. Philip is not Greek in any way. His ethnic background is 75% German and 25% Russian.

Re: Suggest the name for the baby......
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth and Baron Greenwich, was born Prince of Greece and Denmark in Corfu on 10 June 1921.
He was born the only son of Prince Andrew of Greece. His paternal family is of Danish descent - Prince Andrew was the grandson of King Christian IX of Denmark. His paternal grandfather, King George I of Greece, was Queen Alexandra's brother.
Odd, the history file I have must be wrong then!
