Prince of Cambridge

Finally the Great Kate Wait is over!



Now the Great Name Wait Debate is on ...

Supposedly James or George. I don't think either - but most certainly not George seeing that the last Prince of Cambridge was called George and he was deeply in Queen Victoria's bad books!
George is a very cool name and one I am much in favour of... but I just can't see them going with it considering the Prince of Cambridge connection.

I don't think James because of the Scottish connection and the snub at Wales that may be considering William is a Prince of Wales - although now he is technically the Duke of Cambridge.

So, Richard is out... obviously! No one wants to have to see King Dick written anywhere.
Charles won't be considered even though it is grandfather's name - because grandfather is still alive and supposedly to be King soon and same goes for William.
Henry is another possibility except it would be inappropriate considering the baby already just knocked Prince Harry down to 4th in succession - let alone also steal his king name!
Other possibilities include Edmund (uncool) and Edward (could be that!)
There really aren't that many possibilities according to tradition which seems to always be drawn upon in these events.
It would be great if they picked Andrew!
Ernest seems unlikely (although cooler than Edmund but shortens to Ernie...).

I think, if not Andrew, I would like Albert (shortened to Bert is still cooler than Ernie!).

EDIT: Please note... I LOVE Ernie (and Bert) but Bert is always going to sound more grown up and responsible than Ernie and, after all, we are naming a future King not a loveable puppet!

I wonder if they would pick Arthur...
