Future King of the UK would be named…
What?This would be for a potential future son of Prince George, of course. I know royal families tend to use the same names over and over, and there could be a chance that George would name any son or sons after a relative of his (like Louis or Philip). But what do you think would be the perfect name for a future king of the United Kingdom?Inspired by Mei’s post: https://www.behindthename.com/bb/baby/5423189——

Maybe Charles or William, nothing really interesting. Albert would be a good choice maybe because wasn't that Queen Elizabeth's dad's birth name? And of course Philip, not sure why they didn't use it for a son's middle name. For a girl Augusta or something would be cool!

Well, I'd like to see a name which has been well-used in England and/or Scotland since medieval times but has never made it to the throne, such as Thomas, Robert, Roger, Walter, Adam, Hugh, or Geoffrey. For a less common alternative, how about Eustace, the name of the son of King Stephen who was disinherited from the throne because of the peace treaty naming the Plantagenets as Stephen's heirs. Eustace died before his father, but back then there were tales it was of a broken heart because his chance at being king was lost!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eustace_IV,_Count_of_Boulogne

Yeah, it'll be something like Charles or William probably. Maybe Edward. Albert would be nice, after Elizabeth's father, but I don't know how likely that would be.

Honestly, the answer to this is likely to be extremely boring. George, Charles, or William; with Henry or Edward as outside chances.And a daughter would be Elizabeth or Victoria.The range of options is tiny.

Another user did a separate thread for queens.

Yes, I know.

I wonder if there’s going to be another king Richard ? That would add a bit of variety. Anne could also be an option for a new queen.Though the French did manage to have 18 kings all named Louis.

Richard would be nice to see on a future king; we haven't had a King Richard in ages. And yeah, the French seem to have an obsession with their kings being named Louis (though there were a few Philippes and Charleses in there, as well as a few others).
