LONDON — What's in a name? Everything, when you're a royal baby.

The arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s third child on Monday has left the world wondering what the new prince will be called.

If recent history is anything to go by, Kensington Palace may opt to release the new baby’s name on Wednesday. Prince William and the former Kate Middleton made such announcements two days after the births of his siblings, George and Charlotte.

The childless King Richard screwed the pooch when, in his deathbed, he reversed course and designated his brother Prince John as the next king over his nephew Prince Arthur who, being the son of the late Prince Geoffrey (who was an older brother of Prince John), was rightfully next in line (and years before had been proclaimed by King Richard to be the next king).

I can’t wait until The Huffington Report or Salon run a piece on how “the Brits are so Racist that they let an unnamed newborn displace Prince Harry in the line of succession just because he’s going to marry an African-American.”

My picks are either: Bubba, Billy Bob, or Jethro.

Meanwhile, every network is running a special on “Meghan Markle: American Princess Gold Digging Slut and Stalinist Special Snowflake Racist”

Fixed it for you. I kinda hope Prince Harry wears his old Nazi costume for the wedding. If you're going to go through with such a farce, go full farce.

George went nuts. Charlotte died in childbirth. Maybe they should name this one Alfred.

They named him Lou.

Personally, I’d have thought it would have been “Throckmorton Winthrop Hieronymus”, but that would have been WAY too pretentious... NO ONE is named “Hieronymus” anymore.

A supposed accidental leak of the name “Albert” turns out to be a red herring. The name is.....Louis. Who saw that coming? Was this “Albert” leak a conspiracy to effect the betting?

Louis Arthur Charles, to be called “Prince Louis of Cambridge”. If he ever gets sued in France he’s Louis Mountbatten-Windsor as far as The Ministère de la Justice is concerned.

Is Markle plotting, as DJ suspects, the murder of her future niblings (nieces and nephews collectively, new word coined by “millennials”) and BIL to get closer to the throne? Is her ultimate goal to become Queen Regant? Getting Parliament to grant her the Crown Matrimonial and then bumping off poor Harry? Before passing the throne on the Senegalese baby she and Harry are gonna adopt cause she’s too old to bare children (she’s actually 55 with a LOT of plastic surgery)?

Some libs are incensed that adopted (read: children of potential gay Royals) would be excluded on the grounds of not being descended from Sophia, Electress of Hanover. I tell you a world where someone who’s not descended from Sophia, Electress of Hanover sits on the British throne is not a world I want to live in!!

DJ you need to go James Bond and pull a “Saving Silverman” on Harry to prevent all this! These Merkles will be worse than those uppity Woodvilles.

What, another Louis? Prince William is William Arthur Philip Louis (pronounced in the French style, not as in Lewis), and his eldest son is George Alexander Louis. Is the first name of little Louis Arthur Charles pronounced as it is in French? If so, Prince William better hope that George and Charlotte live long enough to have children or else it will be his fault that England has a “King Louie” someday.

As for Prince Harry’s girlfriend, Meghan Merkel, she’s definitely too old to have children, but my biggest concern is that she still has her full-time job as prime minister of Germany.

Prince Prince is the obvious choice-IMO...

I think they should name him "Valiant" ... calling him "Prince Valiant" would be a scream!

If Harry is stupid enough to marry an older, divorced, gold-digging slut, he deserves all the grief that will come with it.

It is pronounced the French way, yes.

Honestly, that’s better than “Lewis”.

I presume all the Louis’ are in honor of Louis Mountbatten, murdered by the filthy IRA.

“prime minister of Germany.”

Whoops! ;p Now I’m hoping for a meme where someone merges their faces

Enoch Powell claimed our CIA was behind the assassination of Mountbatten.

The motive being what?

That sounds almost as crazy as endorsing Labour in 1974.

A lot of it centered on his fervent belief that the United States wanted to dismantle the British Empire piece by piece (he claimed this belief while listening to American officers during WW2), and that “we” wanted the union of both Irelands as one. He was already an MP for Northern Ireland as an Ulster Unionist by the time of the ‘79 assassination, so he did think there was a valid conspiracy afoot.

His endorsement of Labour in ‘74 had to do with his personal antipathy towards the Conservative Party under Edward Heath (who had sacked him from a Ministerial posting). Heath was an elitist who wanted the UK to be under the thumb of the leftist European Union, a destructive force as we’ve since witnessed. Powell would be quite pleased today to see Brexit occurring, though probably just as wary and disgusted to see people like May as PM. He’d have been a UKIP guy supporting Farage.
