George Alexander Louis?

[HipChick]

I mean..no Nigel? Or Ian?

[polichick]

1. Only three names this time.

[Tikki]

2. Hope they call him Alex.

Tikki

[polichick]

3. That's what I was thinking. His name is almost as bad as North West.

[HappyMe]

8. I don't think so.

George is at least a family name. North West is a direction, not a name for a kid.

[polichick]

11. George has been tainted by the Bushes - wish they'd gone in a different direction. lol

[HappyMe]

13. For us in the US maybe.

The weren't stuck with the shrub in England.

[polichick]

22. True - and they weren't stuck with Zimmerman either.

[NCarolinawoman]

23. I'll try to think of George Washington, instead.

[polichick]

24. I'm going with George Harrison!

[Tikki]

31. Yeah, George Harrison...that will work for me, too.

Tikki

[polichick]

36. Great photo! I thank avaistheone1 for the idea...

[TBF]

21. I was thinking that as well -

Alex would be a nice nickname at home. It sounds more like something William & Kate would come up with ...

[dipsydoodle]

25. I think thats a good bet.

.

[msanthrope]

4. George the VII? Not a bad choice. nt

[nenagh]

15. Queen Elizabeth must remember well her Dad's struggling with stuttering,

and his name lives on with this grandchild.

[Spider Jerusalem]

39. Probably George VIII

Charles has already said he'll be known as "George VII" when/if he becomes king, I think (and he's called Charles Philip Arthur George).

[msanthrope]

43. He'll always be "Tampon Charlie" to me. nt

[HipChick]

5. George is an old name...hope he ends up with Alexie as a nick name..

[Graybeard]

6. Did they decide on a last name?

Will he be a Windsor? Tudor? Other?

[polichick]

7. Wales, like Wills and Harry?

[RudynJack]

47. Wales isn't

William's proper last name. It's a name he uses in the military. The family name is officially Mountbatten-Windsor.

[polichick]

50. Some reporter in England said Will and Kate could choose from Wales, Cambridge...

or Mountbatten-Windsor. She also said Charles uses Wales.

Wonder why William would use Wales only in the military.

[Tom_Foolery]

17. Probably Cambridge. n/t

[CincyDem]

30. Probably Windsor.

Prince Charles' youngest brother Edward runs a film/theatrical lighting and production company in England. Friends that work in that business talk about often getting voice mails from Edward Windsor. He does business and uses the name like anyone else would. A woman I worked with said she talked to him for about 4 months on various stuff before someone told her who he was. He hides it will, apparently, by acting very human.

[NightWatcher]

9. Damn, I was hoping for Fresh Prince

[MoonRiver]

10. I guess this means they named him.

Somehow that slipped under my radar screen. But, I agree Alex is the only acceptable name to call him. Poor baby. First a small cottage with no a/c, and now he's named "George." How much worse can it get for this kid?

[Paladin]

12. His name ought to be "Cody Tanner Chase."

That way, if the royalty thing didn't work out for him, he could come quarterback a football team in Texas.

(Just kidding, obviously; "George Alexander Louis" works just fine for me.)

[hfojvt]

14. shoulda been George Alexander Louis Lawrence Edward

or gally for short.

Or maybe ole golly

[Myrina]

27. Or, to be pop-savvy: George Louis Edward Elliot (GLEE)

[hfojvt]

35. I am too old to even WANT to be pop savvy

I still remember when Prince William was born and the joke was they were gonna name him Upton.

Then they would sign their Christmas cards

Up, Chuck, and Di.

[Luminous Animal]

16. Must be a fan of "Seinfeld"

[dbackjon]

19. That is the first thing that came to my mind

George (Constanza) played by (Jason) Alexander, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus

[Phentex]

28. Me too!

I checked out this thread to see if someone else would notice it.

[question everything]

33. Only in this country

Funny how posters on this list associate the name George with Americans. Has it dawned on them that for the British it has entirely different meaning and association?

[Luminous Animal]

42. George (Costanza) (Jason) Alexander Louis (-Dreyfus)

Have a fun day!

[hfojvt]

37. if that was true

they should named him Kosmo.

[name not needed]

53. Or Seven.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

18. Curly Moe Larry?

[PowerToThePeople]

20. George Alexander Louis the Third, he'll grow up and go GALT on the brits. n/t

[Myrina]

26. I was hoping for Spencer - a nod to Diana's family ...

"Spencer Charles (grandpa) Michael (grandpa)"

[polichick]

38. Me too - even as a second or third name.

[JHB]

29. I'm still suggesting Hengist

Honor Anglo-Saxon heritage! The Saxon half doesn't get enough love!

[madamesilverspurs]

32. nonononono...........

[jberryhill]

34. Good thing he's not a Palin

In which case his name would be Thud, or something like that.

[Savannahmann]

40. It could be much much worse.

Ron Howard gave his children middle names based upon where they were conceived. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_howard#Personal_life

His daughters' middle names indicate where they were conceived, Bryce in Dallas, and twins Jocelyn and Paige at the Carlyle Hotel in New York City. Son Reed Cross was named after a London street because "Volvo isn't a very good middle name", according to Howard

If you even considered naming your child Reed Volvo you deserve a boot to the head.

[Rowdyboy]

41. Now he can be "Boy George" "Georgie Boy" or even better "Georgy Porgy"

[Shrek]

44. Not a great choice

"King George" sort of has a negative historical resonance.

[HipChick]

45. Yep..that is what I was thinking

[DavidDvorkin]

48. Here, but not there

Brits will think of Elizabeth's father, George VI, a much-loved monarch.

[hack89]

49. Only in America

The last King George was extremely popular for his leadership during WWII

[pinboy3niner]

46. Oh, darn! I had Lawrence Darryl Darryl in the pool.

[BainsBane]

51. Nigel and Ian aren't royal names

Think of the past kings. It had to be one of those names. Who names a kid George anymore? A royal, that's who.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

52. No Brian! Darn!
