unanimosity Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 James is more likely to turn up as a middle name. Simply because if he's James, he'd be James VII (and all the English people will be going - when were James II - James VI ?). No he wouldn't; he'd be James III of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Commonwealth countries which have the monarch as their head of state and James VIII of Scotland. Some of us English do know our history; maybe some Scots don't! Of course, whatever names he is given now, he could easily choose another when he becomes king. Of course being England and looking at the odds regarding the name, the Royal Baby will be named by FIFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post geriatrickid Posted July 24, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2013 I hate all the hype over this and how people from all around the world were getting so excited over a family/baby that they will probably never meet and who couldn't give a shit about them. I'd rather people celebrate a birth and the happiness that accompanies it, then to celebrate at a public execution, or a riot, or whatever negative activity the scum of the world can instigate. Let people have a bit of harmless fun and to enjoy themselves in a non-destructive manner. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I care much but the names Stephen and John will certainly not be chosen for reasons of history. You mention James and what he would be referred to as, this was also made an issue by some Scots when the present Queen ascended to the throne. The first Elizabeth was never Queen of Scotland (true) and so they wanted Elizabeth II to be Elizabeth I - but in Scotland only. Daft but true.

Chicog Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I'm guessing the Franklin Mint commemorative Dolls/Plates/Teacosies/Toilet seat covers are already being churned out in Zhangzou sweat shops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
