I was just thinking about Edward VIII, son of George V, and how he famously abdicated after barely a year on the throne in 1936 to marry a commoner and I wandered what would of happened if he didn't marry her and he'd settled down with a 'proper' wife and produced heirs to the throne. What would they have been called? He also had a younger brother, John, who died when he was thirteen, but what if he grew up and had kids? It's not really a game but I thought maybe I'd put this up and see what children you gave them (I haven't used namebanks but they'd have to be old fashioned names- they weren't called Nathan, Gabriel or Madison back then). George V had 9 grandchildren in real life (I'll list them so you get the gist):
