Prediction: In the new PC age, it be called Gavin or Kelvin/ Stacey or just Kaz
I now feel really old, as I recall when the father was born :-(
Godspeed & Good Luck.

Re: Royal Baby On the Way - Kate's In Labour!
Maybe a bit of a dodgy choice as some Georges have been just a bit dodgy themselves in one way or another......
........George I could not speak a word of English, a wee bit of a disadvantage for a King of England.....
.......George III was as mad as a box of frogs and he suffered from porphyria which not only made him go off the rails big time emotionally and mentally but also turned his piss blue.....
.....and the Queen's father, George VI, suffered from a chronic stammering condition which took him a long time to overcome courtesy of a bloke who later became a good mate of his...Lionel Logue, his unofficial speech therapist.
Apart from having sticky out ears and a fondness for talking to plants in his gardens at Highgrove and building model townships in the middle of the idyllic
Dorset countryside and santimoniously preaching to all manner of public bodies and organisations about how they should be going about their own businesses, the future King George VII appears to be a bit of a decent chap.......really. Reasonably normal, you might say...well, some might say...others may think different, but at last he seems to be happily married now.
There has been talk on the BBC news slots this evening that this newborn lad may well have George as one of his names, so it looks as if we're going to be stuck with Royal Georges for some time now. This kid may well become a future King George VIII...Gawd bless 'im!
Anyway, I'm so pleased it's a boy, which makes the hurried amendment to the Royal Act of Succession all a bit of a waste of time now.

No, when Charles does eventually become King he has made it known that he wishes to be called King George VII, according to him in honour of his grandfather, and George is already one of his forenames anyway.
