The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have welcomed their royal baby boy! Since a name announcement is expected in the coming days, we have searched far and wide for the best royal-inspired names for boys. Prince Harry even touched on the decision as he spoke to press following the birth, saying: "Still thinking about names. The baby is a little bit overdue, so we've had a little bit of time to think about it. That's the next bit, but for us I think we will be seeing you guys in probably two days' time as planned as a family to be able to share it with you guys and so everyone can see the baby." As the world awaits, HELLO! lists some possible royal baby names, including their meaning and historic significance, from A to Z...
