(Daily Mail) It was a name that was touted as one of the clear favourites by bookmakers and given the history of the monarchy – and in particular the House of Windsor – the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge naming their son George should come as no surprise.
Sharing a name with his great great grandfather – the Queen’s father George VI – the newest addition to the royal family follows in a long tradition by taking the name George.
But the Duke and Duchess insist that the newborn is not named after the current Queen’s father and say that they simply like the name.
His full name – Prince George Alexander Louis – he will be the third George from the House of Windsor to take the throne should he keep the name when he eventually takes the crown.
King George to be: The newest addition to the Royal family will join a long tradition when he eventually takes the throne and becomes King George VII
Chosen a name: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, pictured with their son yesterday, have named their son Prince George Alexander Louis
The name – which originates from a Greek word – means farmer or earth worker and was the 12th most popular name for boys born in the UK in 2011 with 4,347 born.
It had been thought that Prince William and Catherine would take a few days longer to come up with a name after the pair said that they were still ‘working on it’ on the steps of the Lindo Wing last night.
But the announcement came sooner than expected with all three names chosen having royal connotations.
The couple are said to have already had a few names in mind.
The name George has become almost synonymous with the British crown since the first King George took the throne back in 1714.

I agree Ann and understand, I didn’t comment on this post, but I thought it would provoke thought on the name George. There is a history there with the George’s. I just found it strange that they would name him George. So your comments are well taken. I read an article and I can’t even remember where I read it, like you I wasn’t distracted with the news. But it said the alignment with the astrological sign was the same as William and I believe Charles. I found this odd, and wondered if it’s true that they believe in all of these things. There was an article on another blog also that was touching on these things. But anyway, you won’t find another one here, I don’t buy into some of the theories with this either. But thanks for voicing your opinion.
