HelpRe: Sibling for the Royal baby?
in reply to a message by LMS
Hahahaha it would be AMAZING if they used Wallis
I'm going to guess Mary Diana Caroline for a girl. For a boy, hmm. Arthur would be awesome but unlikely I bet. I'd also love Albert but I don't know if there's a precedent set for a king Albert and they are concerned about that sort of thing, aren't they. I wouldn't be surprised if they used William, Edward, or Henry even though those names are already in use. Maybe John? Back to basics.

Even if the baby is named Albert, there's a president of using a middle name as the regnal name. (Is that a word? George IV and Edward VII were Prince Albert. Queen Victoria's fn was Alexandrina.) As long as a middle name would also be a good name, the kid will be fine.
But then, there's also Prince Albert of Monaco. Maybe they wouldn't take that into consideration. Who knows.

Although there's definitely a precedent for a British monarch to use a middle name upon ascending to the throne, I'm of the opinion that this is very unlikely to happen in this day and age. In this age of mass media, when many millions more people become familiar with the faces of the royal family than in past times, and are able to see and hear them speak, and when they, along with all other celebrities, can become as familiar as a friend or family member, I don't think it will fly to say, "Call me William no more, I'm now King Arthur."

No John. The British royal family feels that there is a curse on the name John, for them. The only king who was named John has a bad reputation, and the last prince to be named John, the fifth son and youngest child of King George V and Queen Mary, was an epileptic who also had some sort of mental disability, possibly autism, and was kept in seclusion, and died of a seizure at age 13. Seriously, they think it's cursed.

Huh! That's very interesting. Love a good cursed name!
