New Heir to the Throne
Have you seen the list of names for the new Prince of Wales? George, James, Edward, Philip? Pretty boring. Come now Limeys - You can do better than that!
Maybe the royals can consult with one of Hollywood’s name consultants; they’re much more creative, having assisted our own royalty with the likes of “Apple” “Blue Ivy” and “North.” For example, original unisex names still available as far as I know: “Robin’s Egg Blue,” “Poison Ivy” and “North-by-Northwest.” Likewise, I believe “Hashtag” has already been taken, butt “Hashtag@RoyalBaby” is still available.
Butt we will focus our poll on the top most likely contenders for the new prince’s name. Cast your vote, and don’t forget: Chicago rules apply.
And as soon as the official name is in, the royal photographer will step in to take pictures and capture the new prince’s aura. That’s right: photographer Carlo Van de Roer doesn't just capture a person when he takes their photograph, he captures the color of their soul!
What color is your soul?
I have no doubt that the new baby’s aura will be beautiful, as are those of all innocents. Probably yellow, which Van de Roer says represents optimism, youth and dreaming.
Lady M immediately commissioned the photographer to capture her and BO’s souls on film too. Butt things didn’t work out so well; the proofs were really not acceptable and the last I heard Van de Roer had been placed on TSA’s “no-fly” list.
I’m sure it was just some sort of a mixup. Or a malfunctioning of the camera aura-capturer. Or something.
Anyway, here are the pictures he captured of the Wons’ souls. MO, on the left, BO on the right:

I leave it to you to decide if the photographer is a racist.
And because we so seldom get such a feel good story (the birth of the baby prince, not the Wons’ black souls), let’s milk it a little more with some more cute baby pictures:
Ferrets, grizzly, polar cub and the love that dare not speak its name.
Baby otter and panda cub.

You’re welcome. Now don’t forget to vote for your favorite name for the baby formerly known as Prince.
His Royal Babyness should be named Harthacnut.
His name shall be Oswald.
So it is written. So it shall be.

Holy crap, I just now posted that EXACT same picture and similar sentiment on my Facebook page! (There’s got to be something in the air...)
The Brits had one once, don’t know if this is the future where will get one again.
I’m liking the name James William Spencer George. That’s my guess.
“Excuse me, may I go to the bathroom first?”
“Certainly.”
“Thank you.”
I think they need a Merlin too.
“Prince Prince” or “P2”
I like it!!

I was just re-reading (found it in my closet) Bloom County - Loose Tails this weekend, and in it, was the naming/birth of Charles' and Di's first child. I just realized that the cartoon itself was published 30+ years ago (January 4, 1982). Ugh. I'm old.
Philip (to honor his great-grandpop, who isn’t in good health).
Since England does have a beginning resurgence of “England Only” culture, why not think on a name that is distinctive to English history alone: Harold. It’s Saxon, it pre-dates an historic ‘invasion’, much like all the ragheads that have their mind on conquering the British Isles.
Of course. :-)
