Prince Winston

[Annette Curtain]

Really ?

[HonaloochieB]

Nah.

Prince Evelyn. Prince Auberon. Much more likely.

[Salsaboy]

What about 'Prawn'? Then we could have a King Prawn on the throne!

[scotslass]

Or Prince Dominic - then he could be King Dom

[numbers]

Prince Egbert.

PS James is (apparently) a favourite but look what happened the last few times we had a James on the throne!

and when does the dynasty* end? if it had been a girl and then when she got married? seriously, I am just wondering this.

*not the alexis & krystal variety.

edit: apologies nette for ruining your thread.

I don't think they think that much about what happened to the other monarchs who had that name - if they did Charles is much worse a name than James - first one got executed after a bloody civil war and the second was a randy old goat by all accounts.

Come to that Harry is really called Henry - the last Henry (VIII) had six wives, two of them he had executed and two he divorced.

Even William I was last to successfully invade the UK - responsible for a significant amount of blood shed in this country.

Hardly any traditional Royal name is untainted by some pretty bad history associated with at least one of the monarchs with that name.

Elizabeth possibly the one exception but that's not much use for a boy!

[edhistory]

Does not have to work that way.

Albert became George VI.

John K

I'm warming to Winston & so is my Jamaican/British neighbour Dave

"Yes yes, that would really unify the nation"

That is after we'd stopped laughing & David did a few finger clicks of appreciation

So come on William & Kate, do the right thing. Give us a Prince Winston

One love.

[aquarius moon]

I think they should name him something that hasn't been used before.

I don't mean like Romeo etc!

Just a traditional name so that he can be King ? the first.

[*Bob*]

Jason

Either that or back to the Saxons. But Aethelbald than Egbert I think.

[Ladysaw]

Hhahahahahaha king prawn .... Brilliant

[El Pibe]

How about ?thelwulf, we'd all need shiny new keyboards?

[Help-Ma-Boab]

I'd second that *Bob*

Or Andrew as a nod to Prince Andrew Murrays exploits a Wimbledon!

They're due round again, aren't they ?

[Help-Ma-Boab]

[DulwichFox]

King 'Prawn' gets my vote...

ah yes see your point indie, you're right there aren't many historical names that are untainted.

to confuse matters, wasn't henry VIII known as david as well?

Still with Egbert. King Prawn to his mates.

[maxxi]

Rex - for the inevitable tautonymic symmetry and the fact that until he's crowned he'll sound like two dogs.

[UncleBen]

Prince Privileged Ponce

[silverfox]

I wonder what his 'handle' will be on the EDF when he checks out the For Sale section or Family Room discussions?

Rex2b perhaps?

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Uh - oh UB, you used the P word.

Prince George Alexander Louie.

So the boy turns out to be a gal.

Foxy.

[HonaloochieB]

Regent 'Reg' for short.

Or Steven, so if necessary he could be mocked by referring to him as Prince 'S'.

Surely they're not really going to name him Andrew after their shite-trainered, arse-faced venal Uncle?

Just wrong.

[woodrot]

hes going to be called Kurt

[Ted Max]

Cannot be arsed to actually read an article on this, but do any of the three chosen names have any specific Middleton significance or relevance?
