What do you think he will be called? Alex? I don't know any young men called George -- or Louis.

The Coming Plague of Pears
Q

MY property in particular is literally infested with them. If I go back in time on google earth I can see how with in 10 years an empty field became full of 10 - 20 foot tall Bradford pears. They are extremely hard to get rid of, and their terrible gnarly thorny limbs makes cutting them really difficult. They spread like privet, sending up new trees from their root system. I cut several down and treated the stumps only to find new growth sprouting from the stumps! One tree which I cut down still had a tiny bit of bark attached to the stump and the fallen section was still alive and well! In fall the migrating birds eat the fruit and where ever they poop a new tree pops up. Even pulling a 1 inch sprout is difficult because it forms a long cork screw tap root. I'm not sure how I'm going to ever eradicate them from my land. I have one acre that has literally 1 tree per square foot. I would rank this tree with private and kudzu in it's ability to take over and completely displace other native trees. I hate them soon much!!!! Thorny menace.

The news is filled with sadness and horror every day. It's refreshing to see people joyful and celebrating an event, even if it will never directly affect them. People have all sorts of reasons for caring - for some, it's just an extension of the fairy tales they loved as children while others appreciate the historical aspect. This baby is no more precious than the others born that day as he's bringing just as much joy to his parents as the other babies. The only difference is the world is watching this one, and if so many people want to celebrate that fact, what's the harm? It's a nice change of pace. I don't understand the negativity. If you don't care about the birth, that's fine but I don't know why you would want to try to ruin other people's excitement to fit your own opinion of the event.

George....hmmmmmm. Well, there are a gazillion boys and girls named Alex these days, so I think it'd be great if they call him George. I don't care for trendy names at all, and George certainly isn't trendy, as Alex is!

(For those with relatives/friends named Alex, no insult intended.)

They were saying that George was probably going to be his name so I guess everyone was right...I remember Diana holding William those many years ago and she was younger than me by quite a bit so I'm honored to have witnessed another Royal generation...

I know as many boys/men named George as I do Louis (very much a family name for us!) and Alexander.

When I saw that - I immediately thought of Seinfeld!

Ha ha, they should have named him Kramer. I wonder if he will have a nickname like Wills and Harry (whose given name is Henry). I love the name Alex, too.

Nice name. I like it.

If/when he becomes monarch I guess he can choose any name he wants -- not limited to those three. (Or am I confusing this with the pope?)

it was in tribute to qe2's dad...he was the one who had to take his brother's place...and while in line, probably wasn't "groomed" as much as a first son...you really had to admire him esp during ww2...they never left the country, and were very visible the entire war...

You're not wrong chisue. King George VI did this. He decided he didn't want to be associated with Germany. The monarchy had been through so much then, and they were picking up the pieces (not the least of which was his brother King Edward VIII, abdicating and marrying his mistress), but mostly the war from which he was trying to distance himself. Or stated positively "Albert assumed the regnal name 'George VI' to emphasise continuity with his father and restore confidence in the monarchy".

And so endeth the lesson.
