Tasked with choosing a name that would suit a 22nd century king, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge decided to stick with tradition by naming their son George Alexander Louis.
Clare's insight:
Oh go on, just a little bit more about that family name. Well, this doesn't happen every day.

"The waiting has finally ended. I feel like I've been on the edge of my seat ever since Duchess Catherine's pregnancy was announced."

Clare's insight:
Worth a look at this chart: it's like the England & Wales version of Name Voyager for royal names. Points of interest include the fall and rise of Harry and (to a lesser extent) Charles, and the decline of Andrew and Anne (for now, at least).

"The oddsmakers were right! London betting houses had George as a favorite for the name of the future king from the beginning, and the royal parents came through."
Clare's insight:
Also: "The name George was completely predictable -- which is completely appropriate. You want your ceremonial monarchy to be predictable. At its best, the monarchy represents heritage, continuity, and the nation's unique spirit."
:-) Oh Laura, you're making me come over all patriotic.

All of the speculation was correct! The new Prince of Cambridge, heir to the throne behind his grandfather and father, is named George Alexander Louis.

Totally called George :) But it was to be expected really, given how much the name George is intertwined with the British Royal Family - we had four King Georges on the trot and the current Queen's...

One theory on why we see certain baby names as masculine and others as feminine.

If like me, you have just weeks until your little one arrives, then you may be experiencing the same heated discussions taking place in our household - and all because we cannot agree on a name for our son-to-be.
