Do you think Prince Harry might go against tradition and use the name John as a middle name for a son?

As for the name John it came to me the following references:
Prince John Windsor - prematurely gone Prince, suffered from epilepsy (and probably also Asperger's syndrome) whose 100th death anniversary fell in January
John Spencer, 8th Earl of Spencer (baby's great-grandfather)
John Brown, the abolitionist, hanged for his ideas and commemorated in many poems, whose 160th death anniversary will fall on 2 December - Meghan's heritage as a maternal descendant of slaves.
John the Evangelist - according to the Gospel, the faithful Apostle of Jesus Christ, who stood at his cross - baby will be born around Easter.
I truly hope so. It was just bad luck. John is a beautiful name with lots of history (not only bad history though).Would be nice to see the name come out of superstitious hold though.
Juaau (the A is the same as in Altitude and not Alien, and in Portugal à extends the sound).Joao is cute. How do you pronounce it, Kathia_Sophia?
I like John and also Johanna.
I don't think they will go for anything like John, Jane or Mary, as those names are all a little too plain and dated, imo. They may choose a traditional name but I think it will be one that is more modern or timeless. Something like Oliver or Grace or Alexander/Alexandra.
For a boy John could be used as a middle name. John does not have to be used as the first name.
not at all sure what you mean. If they don't want to use the name John or think it is unlucky, they have a perfect right to do soAnd do they live in XXI century or in Middle Ages?
Apart from that, according to the Bible in which they believe, believing in superstitions is a sin.
If they do not want to use John as John, use the Scottish equivalent of Ian.
I had a giggle at an article that likened Harry's situation as a second son to that of Andrew who, not being obliged to adhere to tradition, named his daughters the unoyal equivalence of Apple and some other fruit.
Beatrice and Eugenie were new and radical? ��

Not really. Beatrice and Eugenie were the names of a daughter and a granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
They wont want to use it at all. Esp Ian....If they do not want to use John as John, use the Scottish equivalent of Ian.
For a daughter the name could be Rosalind Cecilia Caroline. This is in honor of Rosalind Cecilia Caroline Hamilton, Duchess of Abercorn, a great-grandmother of Princess Diana.
Why would it be used at all? Its generally thought to be "bad luck" by the RF.. and as has been pointed out it is also the name of Diana's liltte brother who died.. so its not at all likel to be used
Or the Gaelic/Irish equivalent of Sean. Or the Spanish Juan. Or the French Jean. Or the German Johann. The possibilities are endless.
