[MineralMan]

1. Prince #hashtag

[Katashi_itto]

119. "Pubert......Prince Pubert"

[Berlum]

2. Formerly Known as Prince?

[LeftishBrit]

69. Quite possible, by that time.

[quinnox]

3. first name - George - middle name - Zimmerman

these royals are a kooky bunch.

[tridim]

4. Formerly known as some symbols and shit.

[L0oniX]

5. Lucifer ...prince of darkness.

[dbackjon]

6. His Royal Highness George Zimmerman

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Darrell, or Wayne, or Cletus, or Joe Bob.

It think it would be cool if England had a King Darrell I.

[pipi_k]

24. I'm kind of liking

Joe Bob, yeah.

Or Bubba.

[csziggy]

90. Then a son can be named Larry and the third son will be Darrell

[pipi_k]

8. Pass because...

I'm going with "All of the above"

[Nye Bevan]

9. Andy. In honor of Murray (nt)

[geek tragedy]

10. Joffrey! nt

[AtomicKitten]

25. good luck getting him to bed

[geek tragedy]

28. Felt guilty for cheering Tywin on there. nt

[Warren DeMontague]

42. That's really not fair.

I mean, I'm no fan of Royalty, but that's no reason to assume this kid is going to be a sociopathic twit.

[geek tragedy]

45. You gotta admit, it would raise the stakes nt

[warrior1]

11. how about a james or john

[hobbit709]

31. They haven't had a John for 800 years and with good reason.

[muriel_volestrangler]

63. They have used it for younger sons, though

[LittleBlue]

12. How about Henry?

There have been a lot of notable kings named Henry. Henry VIII is always thought of, but Henry II was great.

Edward is good too. Except for Edward II, he was sodomized to death with a hot poker by his own subjects. Maybe not a good name after all.

Henry it is, then.

[srican69]

18. But Henry is french ...don't think the Brits will like that very much

[msanthrope]

74. Right...they rioted on the last 8.....nt

[flamingdem]

[rdharma]

19. Rogers

It's a very princely first name!

[kentuck]

20. William James...

the author.

[Warpy]

21. All of the above

Royals always have a string of names to deal with so it takes forever to announce them and everybody knows how important they are.

[woo me with science]

23. "Shiny object"?

[CBGLuthier]

[Gidney N Cloyd]

66. God save the king.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

35. Prince Whatsallthisthen

[1monster]

36. "Where's the "All of the Above" category?

Royal Princes, especially first born Royal Princes, ALWAYS have multiple names:

The Prince of Wales - Charles Philip Arthur George
Duke of Cambridge - William Arthur Philip Louis
King George VI - Albert Frederick Arthur George
King George V - George Frederick Ernest Albert

and so on...

[Lifelong Protester]

37. Even though I picked "George" in the poll

"All of the above" seems more likely!

[FSogol]

38. Willy Windsor, Junior.

[sarisataka]

39. Vlad

or Zoltar

[Warren DeMontague]

40. Barack.

Bet that'd put a buzzing bee in Liz's bonnet, wouldn't it.

[Seeking Serenity]

43. What about Albert

after his great-great-great-great-great grandfather?

There hasn't been a Bertie around in a long while (George VI).

[Scurrilous]

44. Sprog

[ananda]

46. Maybe it will be ...

George Charles Albert .. in some order.

[Motown_Johnny]

48. I thought everyone already knew....

[lumberjack_jeff]

49. "Lying little two-faced"

[Archae]

50. Palpatine

[srican69]

55. no Darth Vader?

[jeff47]

85. "Darth" is a title, like "Lord".

So pedantically, he was Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader. Much like someone in England is John Smith, Lord Kensington.

/crawls back into "Star Wars nerd" hole.

[Renew Deal]

52. Benedict XVII

[srican69]

57. it has to be Benedict I

[Renew Deal]

62. Wait, isn't this the new pope?

[srican69]

[RudynJack]

53. Dumbledore

[HarveyDarkey]

56. Phread the Magnificent

Who really cares?

[Demoiselle]

58. All of the above...Plus Albert.

[Apophis]

59. Nobody cares about Stannis Baratheon.

Name him Stannis.

[kas125]

120. I actually do know someone who cares about Stannis and thinks he

should be king of the seven kingdoms. Why, I have no clue, but he really likes Stannis.

[Autumn]

60. HRH Prince Whatever.

[TheCowsCameHome]

61. Spaghetti, Macaroni, or Egg Noodles

..after any Italian ancestors.

[LeftishBrit]

67. If he's anything like most royals, he'll have multiple names

George or Philip is possible. Or Andrew - after both his great uncle and Andy Murray! Or Michael after his maternal grandfather. Or all of these!

[srican69]

68. but he will just have one principal name ... and will go by as prince XXXXXX

[LeftishBrit]

72. This could change with time, however

King George VI was given the first name Albert; and as a boy was known formally as 'Prince Albert' and in his family as 'Bertie'; it was only later on that he became known as George - which I think was the fourth of his royal names.

There are advantages in having loads of names; if you don't like your first name, you can choose the one you like, I suppose.

However, by the time this youngster is due to be king, it may be that the Brits will call the whole idea of the Monarchy 'Finished'.

[olddots]

70. Prince Lester the Proctologist

or Prince Murry the Press Agent

[pansypoo53219]

71. gotta bring back them æ names. how about svend. tho since there is german there

karl.

[byeya]

73. Skeeter

[Warren DeMontague]

94. How about "Cooter"?

Or Gus. Gus has a nice ring to it.

[spanone]

114. my son's best friend as a child was skeeter.....tennessee

[dipsydoodle]

75. We've not had a Henry for a long time.

Harry sounds good to me.

[srican69]

76. Heny/Louis etc were all french

[dipsydoodle]

83. Henry V11 wasn't and so it follows Henry V111 wasn't either.

.

[Lizzie Poppet]

77. Prince Fliptybert Flaptyback

Or Harold.

[99th_Monkey]

78. Prince Who Gives A Shit. ~nt

[xchrom]

79. Bathsheeba! and he shall be Fabulous! and polka dots will be all the rage.

[darkangel218]

80. David.

[Paladin]

81. Cody Tanner.

So if the whole royalty thing doesn't work for him, he can quarterback a football team in Texas.

[Grey]

82. all of the above......

They do tend toward long, multiple names..

[jeff47]

84. Eustice. (nt)

[Retrograde]

86. I'd go with something traditional

like Ethelred the Nearly Ready, or Cnut, or even Arthur John just to tempt fate. Or something modern, like Jason or Ethan. Or Oliver, just for fun.

Anyway, I wasn't invited to the wedding so I'm not sending a baby gift.

[doc03]

87. Caligula n/t

[rusty fender]

88. Richard

don't which #it would be
.....

[AllINeedIsCoffee]

89. Matthew Crawley

[srican69]

92. cant wait for season 4....although

I hate how they keep killing the characters off..

[AllINeedIsCoffee]

95. I think the major ones they've killed wanted to leave the show. :-\ nt

[treestar]

107. Matthew

That would be very different, not used before, outside the box, yet still English.

[zappaman]

91. Kerflunkle.

Or Riffle.

[Tx4obama]

93. My guess: Prince Arthur Phillipe Charles George Albert Victor Willam (Last name Wales)

The new prince will have many names.

When/if he becomes King he will be the one that picks the first name he will go by.

[Shrek]

96. Rodney n/t

[Fearless]

97. Mail me a million dollars and I'll chose for them.

Otherwise, couldn't care less what the uber wealthy do.

[B Calm]

98. BUBBA

[Nay]

99. Something new -- Reginald. nt

[rustydog]

100. You left out: Who gives a shit

[JEB]

101. Silverspoon Leech

[JenniferJuniper]

102. Leopold. Old school Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and Leo is a cool name

[MADem]

103. Not Ralph, damn the bad luck.... nt

[cloudbase]

104. Blanket. n/t

[Wolf Frankula]

105. Elvis n/t

Wolf

[treestar]

106. I wonder if they'll ever have the gumption to break out of the standard English names for them

Maybe a child who is not as close to being in line for the throne. Not feeling King Jason or King Justin.

They don't do the repetitive thing now with father and son having the same name, like George I, II, III. V and VI. Given the ones they recently used, they may go with John or James as not having been used in a while.

[JenniferJuniper]

108. George VI was called Albert; he chose to use George. John is considered

a bit historically cursed. The last Prince John was an uncle of Queen Elizabeth who was an epileptic and hidden away by the family until he died as a young teen. Diana supposedly wanted to name her oldest John but the royals nixed it. James is a possibility, but when I hear "King James" I expect "Bible" to follow.

But it'd nice to see them step out of the box and skip the George Henry Philip Albert Arthur stuff for once. Something like Alexander maybe.

[treestar]

110. Didn't know that

Didn't know of that Prince John. The Magna Carta guy didn't fare too well but that's long ago now.

Richard will never be rehabilitated.

I notice they used Henry (Prince Harry) sort of close to the throne, but it's been a while since Henry VIII and in modern times there's not much risk he would end up on the throne!

It would be cool if they go outside the box though. Simple English names but not used by royals before, like Matthew or Kenneth or Peter.

[steve2470]

109. Engelbert Humperdinck I nt

[alittlelark]

111. Liam n/t

[Zorra]

112. Prince Conor Patrick Killian...

...Junior.

[Rowdyboy]

113. James Philip Arthur George....Jimmy

That's my best guess based on nothing whatsoever except random names historically used in the British monarchy.

[A HERETIC I AM]

115. Otis.

Or Emmet.

They really need a Prince Otis.

[spanone]

116. dwayne

[moondust]

117. Lil Kong'mo

[avaistheone1]

118. Richey Rich

[LostOne4Ever]

121. Justin

That or they could name him Billybob

[srican69]

122. George it is
