OK, some light humor, or humour for those across the pond. Takes our mind off of really important things and we get to glimpse history that maybe happens once every 30 years or so, even if it is in England. Knowing nothing of royal protocols or English customs, I'd say that he wouldn't be named after a living relative or past monarch from at least 50 years. George, James, Edward, Albert or Arthur comes to mind as a fairly conservative selection as I think some of the recent popular and trendy names folks give their kids wouldn't even be considered for the future King of England. What do you think?

I'd name it KiPass just to spread the karma all across the
empire kingdom country.

I don't know, His Royal Highness, King KiPass sounds more like an ice cream flavor at Ben & Jerries. ;D
-
James sounds good to me... King James has a good ring to it. Hasn't been one of those in awhile.
-
You sound as though you know a bit about the name.....
-
Possibly... ::)
-
SUE :hail:
-
Naw, he'll never have to worry about defending himself.
-
I'm waiting on the Royals to give me a call for a consult...
-
Well, unless you've translated any Bibles recently, I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. ;D
-
My money is on........Prince.
-
HRH Prince, Prince? Naw, not strong enough, besides, theres already a weird dude named Prince, and he likes purple.
-
That's a given, but it might be awhile until the public knows the chosen name. Lot's of thought has to go into the naming process so I rather doubt it will be 'Fred' or 'Sue' or 'Clem'. It will probably be the name of a former King such as Edward, James, William, Henry, Richard (I like that one), John, or Philip.

It is a royal colour.
-
I would doubt William or Phillip as those are living relatives and one is currently in front of him as heir to the throne, his father, too confusing, but not sure if its ever been done. Happening and being done are different as succession to the throne in years past has been sometimes convoluted in nature. When I typed purple I was thinking more Church of England than royal colour, but then, Edward VIII pretty much made that one and the same didn't he?
-
Not sure of the first name- James or george or something; But I'm betting Spencer is in there someplace to honor Lady Di
-
Good one Bruce, never though of that.

Nigel... because he weighed 3.8 kilograms... and 3+8 = 11! 8)
-
Well, if he's like the rest of them, he'll have about five names. I'd doubt that it would be Edward, since the last one stirred up quite a ruckus with his abdication. Won't be the name of any of the others currently alive, even if well down the chain of precedence.
I'm going with George.
-
As someone who sits looking across the pond from our once sceptred isle to the land of the free - I would like Arthur. Then we can throw some of the f###ing european scroungers out. If health and safety let him carry a sword...
Or, as a staunch anti-royalist I would prefer the whole lot of the free loading bastards to disappear. Just my opinion of course. John
-
Noted.
The name is George.. King George, that's where I live. I knew it all the time, just keeping it to myself. We also have a Prince George county in the state as well. Covering all the bases here.
All I can say about the celebrations in the mother country is that my mom would have been glued to the tv had she been alive.
-
So I was right....PRINCE George Windsor... 8)
-
Connie ;)
-
So, Prince George was 8 pounds 6 ounces. Which, at the current exchange rate means he's $12.82. ;D
-
You know, those people have to be the most expensive welfare family in western civilization.
-
I don't know. Even in a lighthearted way I couldn't care less.
-
What Gpink said - but most welfare families look for work
-
Not over here. >:(

You really trying to impress the Brits? ;)

I agree get rid of the wasteful scroungers as a expat and a proudly new American.

I was born in England (English mother) and schooled in an English church school for the early part of my life. Sometimes I revert to English spellings on words out of habit and sometimes I do it just because I can. As we're discussing English Royals, the spelling of 'colour' seems right to me. Any issues with that? ;)

Technically, I believe that it's Mountbatten-Windsor.
George Alexander Louis Mountbatten-Windsor.
