Help[Opinions] Re: What would you name the future Queen of England?
in reply to a message by New_Chloë
Do they? Can’t someone be “the First”?
“And I wish there was a treaty we could sign
I do not care who takes this bloody hill
I'm angry and I'm tired all the time
I wish there was a treaty,
I wish there was a treaty
Between your love and mine”
Leonard Cohen

I don't know the specifics, but I do remember reading in some biography that the direct heirs have much stricter naming rules than those born with less chance of inheriting. I suppose they could technically be named something unique, but then there's also "regnal" names - like for example Elizabeth's father's name was actually Albert but he decided to go by George. From what I understand, a monarch being "the first" is pretty rare, for whatever reason. I don't really understand it.
