The British royal family is not an imaginative bunch. Thank God for that much.

I was kind of holding out for "Wilbur." Wouldn't "Wilbur, Duke of Something-or-Other" have a nice ring to it?

Sounds good to me, Old RPM Daddy! Then they can buy him a pony and name it "Mr. Ed"!

But since it's the royals, and, as Isab says, they've not got much imagination in the name department (although I thought I detected a note of sarcasm, Amy!), I'm betting on something like Phillip Spencer, Phillip for the Queen's husband, and Spencer being Wills' mum's last name. I could be wrong, though.

How about North Blanket?

Trayvon Barack

Sue

Algernon Sidney Crispin Gamblepudding, Prince of Cambridge and Duke of Earl.

Erasmus or bust!

LOL, every one of you!

Perhaps Wills and Kate are perusing this site for a princely name: http://wesclark.com/ubn/males.html

(The Utah Baby Namer)

And the winner is:

George Alexander Louis

Damn. What could be more normal??

At least they didn't name him Henry.....

I would have liked Christopher. Not sure why that name never seems to have been popular among royals - even those not so close to the throne.

And, a comment from Yahoo:

"I will hug him and squeeze him and call him George...."

I think Kate should have named him Prince William Jefferson Jr., after his fathers.

Named partly in honor of one the reasons America fought for independence. Let's all gush adoringly!

George Alexander Louis Damn. What could be more normal?? -- Flynne at July 24, 2013 11:02 AM

But the initials are G.A.L.

Ah, the Utah Baby Namer! I had lost the link - thanks for re-posting. Love that site.

I know a woman at church whose middle name is L'Orl. Her family is from, you guessed it, Utah.

Chuck, Bill and Harry each have 4 "first" names, why 3 for George? I wouldn't name my kid for an (ancestor?) who was crazy and lost a major colony.

Did you know they could have named him Steve?

That is, there WAS a King Stephen.

Not a likely name choice, though.....

http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/stephen_king.shtml

"Stephen was born in around 1097 in Blois, France, the son of the Count of Blois and Adela, daughter of William the Conqueror. He was sent to England to be raised at the court of his uncle, Henry I. Although Stephen and other nobles pledged to support Henry's daughter, Matilda, as Henry's successor there was widespread unhappiness at the thought of a woman ruler. Consequently, after Henry I died in December 1135, the leading lords and bishops welcomed Stephen as the new king. He was not a natural leader, rapidly making concessions that exposed his weakness. He appointed large numbers of new earls, an expensive act that brought little reward and alienated his nobles with his desperate measures to build support and with the lawlessness of his Flemish mercenaries....."

Lots more at Wikipedia.

I was kinda hoping for 'Otter'.

Check out the names -- the ten or twenty names -- that Uradel give their kids. Compared to that, all British royals are called,"Hey, you!'
