I was also watching the stream. Such an adorable family and such proud parents. I wish them nothing but happiness.

Yeah, I know. But it is what is. And various Prince Johns haven't necessarily had a happy ending either.

Ah, got you.
No, since he is titled as a royal prince, he doesn't use dad's inferior title as a courtesy title. Courtesy titles are for those not bearing a title in their own right. Were he not a prince, he would be "[FirstName] Mountbattan-Windsor, Earl of Strathearn."

Love the pastel polka dots on Kate! Reminds me of the dress Diana wore when she brought William home from the hospital.

Spencer would also be lovely as a girl name, but among other names and not as a first name (for instance: Caroline Abigail Spencer Louise).

Well, it is in there. And technically, he could choose to use it as his regnal name, though obviously George is more likely.

His great-great grandfather's name was Albert Frederick Arthur George. He took George as his regnal name.

I hope he goes by Alexander. To me, George is such an old sounding name.

Alexander was my pick for the first name. I'm glad that it was selected as a middle name, sort of makes up for the fact that I really was hoping that they wouldn't use George at all.....
All in all, I think George Alexander Louis is a wonderful name.

My first thought! My second thought was this.

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.
