Help[Opinions] Re: The Next Royal English Baby
in reply to a message by khaotickharma
While I appreciate tradition, I still wish they'd be a bit radical (I'm counting on Harry for this). Even if it's going all the way back to a name like Blanch (ugh). No mas Elizabeths, please. I'd also like to see Diana's name used, but it seems at odds with all of the other choices.
This is nowhere near what it will be (or should be, lol):
Princess Eleanor Louise Henrietta Georgette
When it comes to honoring, I prefer to feminize the names of fathers and such. In this case, George VI and Prince Harry (which may not be appropriate ;-P). Louise was used by Edward VII's daughter, but quite frankly I just... like it, and would have used it without there being a predecessor. Eleanor is my favorite name atm. It's very regal, and always makes me think of Eleanor of Aquitaine.
Prince Albert John Richard Edward
Albert is my favorite of any name ever used. I went back to the Plantagenets for the first two middles. Edward is Edward VIII. ;-)
BTW: You wouldn't happen to frequent The Royal Forums, would you?

I agree, Prince Harry's baby is surely going to have some outlandish name- with his type of girlfriends, I wouldn't be surprised if a little Prince Slade or Prince Alfie, or Princess Lexxi or Princess Ruby debuted in the royal family.
Your choices are fantastic- Eleanor is a fave of mine as well (though I'm leaning more towards Elinor at the moment).
And I go to the Royal Forums alot, actually, but I haven't joined. They are very selective in terms of membership. :(

Since when? =(
I'm a member, and I have a total of one post in more years than that. =P
I'm not an expert on anything, like you. You should be posting, not me.
LOL. I hope Harry isn't that radical.
