HRH Prince ????? Prince of Cambridge

I understand the bookies in the UK are favoring George with James and Alexander as runners up, I kind of like Richard, but then Edward or Henry are also nice.

Could he be a William Jr? I think probably not, and Charles is likely out for the same reason.

What do you think?

Well it's George Alexander Louis, Kensington. Mere moments after I posted this thread, their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess made the announcement. And they didn’t even call him Richard.

I get no respect!

I wonder if they actually got to choose, or if someone told them what his name would be.

seems odd that they would name him after the man that lost the colonies

No, no -- they named him after the current Queen's daddy, who was the toast of WWII.

yeah, I know, but I still go THERE in my head. I think Arthur ALexander would have been briliant

Do they all not believe that they or their sons become kings so that they are following each other in reign? As a dynasty of Charles' or Williams' or what else. Why did they stop the tradition to hand down their name to the first born?
