I'm glad they had a boy, to be honest.  Now there won't be any chance of them naming him "Diana" which I thought wouldn't be a good idea no matter what the reasoning.
You may think you're cool, but do you have a smiley named after you?

Okay, fine.  Macrobug is now as cool as I am

I join on this one. I hope his name begins with an A, for my own name begins with an A ! And I remind you I was born myself on June 22nd, so I'm very excited !

You don't owe it to your mother, you don't owe it to your children, you don't owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked 'female'."

My theories on the name. George to honor George VI. Louis as a nod to the Spencers since Louis Spencer will be the next Earl Spencer. And Louis could also be a tribute to Louis Mountbatten and William has that as one of his names. And Alexander because perhaps they wanted to have the name Alexandra in the names if a girl and Alexander if a boy. I would have had liked David as the  fourth name if they had decided on a fourth name which they didn't

No Phillip. Surprisng there. I think they  could  have added his grandfather's  name  as  first  in order for that name, his , to  be King Philip one day.
They  could  have called their  PJ  or PG  or GP  for short.They  only used  3 names instead of four.

George, QEII's  father, an ode  to her   , ok, but....

Yes, I  am critical. Yes, I am commenting.
I know some will say "W hatever these people do,  you people  will crictize. Goodness!"

They  are  who they  are and yes, everything they  do , say, go, look,  is  commented on.
it is  not as if  I nor anyone here nor the press  nor the people  are commetning to their face  about things.

That is what they named their child, per QEII's  approaval , no doubt, fine .So be it.


Persoanlly, I think George  is  too old  a  name  for  a  youngster.

William, Wills, Will, cool.
Herny  is  an olde anme  , harder too , but  he  has  been refrred to and called  Harry  sicne day  one.
Many  people  don't know or forget it  is Prince Henry.

I think George isn't a surprise.  Personally, I like the name.  He isn't named after anyone in particular, so he can make this name his own.

George was the name of two recent kings (and a number of other monarchs) and is the name of Sarah McQ's son.

Alexander is the name of Robert and Jane Fellows son.

Louis is a Mountbatten, and the name of Lord Althorp.

What an antic name this is a 21th Century child for God sake !!! William and Harry are more modern !!! And also no Philip ? You must be kidding me !!!

I thought the same thing, Eri. Philip would have been a loving tribute to his grandfather at 92.  :blank:

I keep thinking of George Costanza in Seinfeld another famous character called George.

I'm surprised Kate did not honor her dad by giving Michael as one of the names.

QuotePersoanlly, I think George  is  too old  a  name  for  a  youngster

But he won't always be a youngster.  I like when people give their children "adult" names.  So many people use nicknames instead of the "real name" - so Jack instead of John, Molly instead of Mary, etc. etc.  You can always come up with a nickname for family and for childhood days, but it is good to have a serious adult name for the vast amount of your life where you are not a child.

I agree  Eri. :clap:

Maybe they  will call him Alex  for short.

With the name they chose, you  cannot  pull the first two intials  for  nickname  like JP-JamesPhillip.  PJ, Phillip James. PG -Phillip Geroge.

As I wrote on the other thread, my theory is they chose names fit for a king. They didn't honour any relative or acquaintance !

For me, it is George for the Saint Patron of England, Alexander for Alexander the Great and Louis for Louis XIV.

The Admiral Mountbatten is just an excuse for using the name Louis !  They just wanted to wish their sons a reign as fortunate as Alexander's and Louis's ones !

All adult Georges have started out as babies.  Isn't Alexandra the Queen's middle name? (Just checked ... yes, it is.)  Alexandrina was Queen Victoria's, as well.  She was known as Drina before becoming Queen.

I agree they wanted a "King" sounding name  :windsor1:.
