King Edward VIII, later the Duke of Windsor, was named Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, and was always called David. For that reason, no royal child has been a David since! The Family apparently still associate it with the disgrace that Ed VIII brought upon them ... which is a pity, because it is a very good name indeed and my own son's mn. Perhaps they'll get over it, but they certainly haven't yet, and even the female form would be a bridge too far.
