Princess Eugenie's baby daughter's name may follow a long-standing Royal Family tradition
Following the birth of Princess Eugenie's baby daughter, fans of the Royal Family are eagerly awaiting a name announcement.
Eugene and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, welcomed their third child this week.
The couple already had two sons together, and Princess Eugenie has now given birth to a baby girl too, in Lisbon, Portugal.
The proud parents shared a sweet update on social media, telling the world their happy news: "Jack and I are so excited to announce Baby Girl Brooksbank!! We are beyond in love with our girlie."

As yet, they haven't shared any other information about their daughter's moniker, besides the nickname 'Baby Girl Brooksbank'.
It's safe to assume that's not her actual name, but stranger things have happened...
However, thanks to a long-standing tradition held by members of the Royal Family, fans think they know what the little one's middle name will be at the very least.
Several of the late Queen Elizabeth II's granddaughters and great-granddaughters have some form of her name as their middle name.
Her daughter, Princess Anne, has the full name Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise.
She passed the name down to her daughter, Zara Anne Elizabeth Tindall.
Elsewhere, Princess Eugenie's sister also has Elizabeth as a middle name, Princess Beatrice Elizabeth Mary.
As Beatrice had Elizabeth for a middle name, Eugenie was instead named after another monarch.
Her full name is Princess Eugenie Victoria Helena.
Princess Beatrice named both of her daughters after the Queen too, with Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, and Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi.
Prince Edward's daughter is Lady Louise Alice Elizabeth Mary Mountbatten-Windsor, while Meghan Markle famously opted for a nickname based on Elizabeth, when she named her daughter, Lilibet.
Then there is also Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, with several tribute names.
Eugenie and Jack have two sons already, who also have tribute names.
They are August Philip Hawke and Ernest George Ronnie.
August is thought to be a nod to Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, who was born Prince Franz August Karl Albert Emanuel.
The 'Philip' is named after Eugenie's grandfather, the late Prince Philip.
Fans will just have to wait and see what they go for, seeing as the couple also broke tradition by welcoming their daughter in Lisbon instead of the UK.
The decision came after the family divides their time between the UK and Portugal, thanks to Jack's work being based over there.
Princess Eugenie has also called life overseas a 'dream', saying she is afforded more freedom over there.
