In a move that literally no one could've seen coming, new parents Pippa Middleton and James Matthews apparently named their month-old son after Kate Middleton and Prince William's youngest song, Prince Louis Arthur Charles.

Pippa and James reportedly chose to name Louis' baby cousin Arthur Michael William Matthews, which sounds extremely regal and like he'll fit in among the royal family.

According to outlets like The Daily Mail and Us Weekly, the little BB's name was well thought out and meant to honor people who are important to Pippa and James, like her father Michael Middleton and James' brother, Michael, who died at 22 years old while climbing Mount Everest.

Not only does the name Arthur come from Louis' middle name, it's also Prince William and Prince Charles' middle names.

As for the William, well, that could honestly just come straight from Prince William's first name.

Pippa gave birth to Arthur in the royal family's favorite Lindo Wing back on October 15, which also happens to be the day Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced they're expecting a baby this spring.

The day Arthur was born, the couple's spokesperson released a statement that said, "James and Pippa have had a baby boy. He was born Monday 15th October at 1:58 p.m., weighing 8 lbs. and 9 oz. Everyone is delighted and mother and baby are doing well."
