Well, he will officially be Prince George. What the family calls him might be another matter. But at least according to one source I heard, George was the 12th most popular boy's name in England last year, so I guess it doesn't sound as old to them as it does to us. Blame George Weasley, maybe?
Meanwhile, apparently Alexander typically ranks in or almost-in the top ten boy's names in Scotland, and ranks high in England as well.
And speaking of the family, the bit of news I heard that I found really interesting was that the Queen went to Kensington Palace to meet George this morning. That is really a switch -- people, including new-born grandchildren and great-grandchildren, traditionally come to see the Queen, not the other way around.
