It only dawned on me yesterday that our son was at least 4 days old perhaps 5 when he was named.

The reason - we had decided we were having another girl and had not given a thought to naming a boy!!

Whatever name he gets there are some that really are impossible.

Wayne for instance and Richard ...

The current line are descendants of Henry VII and the House of Lancaster. You may recall that Henry VII was closely involved with the death of the unfortunate Richard III, a name which has never figured with royalty since.

The reason it will take a while is that they are trying to think of an alternative to George and it is next to impossible. Let's see, Hanoverian male sovereigns:

George 1, II, III, IV, V, VI
William IV
Edward VII, VIII ( dud )

Which would you lay your money on ?

It may also be a bit tricky adding in something for the Middleton side but Francis has the right sort of ring.

John? Can't see that one somehow
James
Stephen
Alfred
Harold

I like Richard, hope they choose that :-D Lancastrians and Yorkists still come from the same root.

The first name of George V1 was Albert, known to the family as Bertie. It was only when he was declared King that he was called George. Could have been one of his other given names of course.

I like Albert, Bertie sounds young too <3

I expect when George the VI was born they were not expecting him to become king so didn't really give him a Royal name. Would imagine Edward VII was only given his fathers name as it was the norm back then?

Not sure I'm keen on Prince/King Dick :-D

With royals the one thing you can be sure of is that the names of any who were completely over the top or losers will not get another go. Also once an enemy always an enemy. Names popular on TV and associated with Merlin or Warhammer won't get much of a go either nor will anything else pre 1066.

Thus Harold ( loser twice over, the current lot started out as Norman-French ), Henry ( the comedians would have a fine time with 'enery the ninth I am ), Richard ( enemy, loser civil wars are the most bitter ) James ( deposed ) are non starters. Charles II was a winner from a royalist perspective. George VI was king as George and not Albert 'cos he was not a man of great inner confidence and he wanted a winning name.

George William Philip Francis Mountbattern-Windsor

is my guess.

It is possible that William will be one of the few Kings of England never to have enjoyed the titles and income of being Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall and Lord of the Isles. No doubt he is hoping the bouncy young hand waver will shell out when the time comes.

I think he should be called FRED.

Then he could be a FREDERICK the GREAT in the future.!!!

Don't call him Richard as in this modern day era he would probably

be called KING DICK. !!!!

F.

I think they should call him Tyler!!!!!!!!!............pmsl


they should call him what they want

I actually quite agree that they need to know the little chap before naming him. I have always wanted to do that with any animal I have had ..apart from Minx who is called anything but ... I also think they have him named but just need to sort the order of names out, and just maybe they would like to spend some time with their son before the limelight gets too much.

It would amuse me if they go for non king names ..but not the new names like Wayne an stuff but Robert or or or I get lost there.

Off to my hidey hole of probate stuff :-(

Drat it's

George Alexander Louis

Beat me to it RR - will delete my posting :-)

I wasn't really referring to the name part of the comment I copied and pasted, but the other part.

I am a little disappointed with the names chosen, I thought they might have come up with something a bit different albeit in line with royal names. I do like Alexander tho.

There will be lots of little boys called George in the next few months I expect and girls called Georgina??

Rollo King George chose his name out of respect for father King George V. Actually Prince Charles could also decide to be King George.


PS I hope your little cat is feeling better.
