What does the British royal family pay attention to when naming?
Royal commentator Richard said that the royal family generally considers these three issues when choosing a name:
Take Louis as an example, his full name is: Louis Arthur Charles. Princess Kate, Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte, Prince William, and Prince George
The name also pays tribute to the little prince’s grandfather, Prince Charles, and Louis Mountbatten. Mountbatten is the queen’s cousin and also served during World War II. a fighting hero.
As for Arthur, it is the voice of the British people. Before the name was officially determined, a big discussion about the name of the little prince had already begun on the Internet, and Arthur was the most vocal.
Although it did not become Louis' first name, in the end, public opinion was followed and Arthur became Louis' middle name.
Louis is one year old. It is not an exception that the name Louis keeps repeating. In fact, if we open the history book, we can see that George 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, foreigners seem to really Not good at naming.
Take the British royal family as an example. In the past 100 years, there have been 12 Alberts, 10 Georges, 8 Charless, and 7 Edwards.
The princess’s name has 9 Victorias, 7 Marys, 6 Lewises, 6 Alexandras, and 5 Elizabeths.
In fact, before 1917, the British royal family did not have a surname. It was not until 1917 that King George V suddenly felt that something was wrong, and after some calculations, he felt that the royal family should be named Windsor. This was the first version of the current official surname of the royal family: Windsor.
The current royal surname was changed by Queen Elizabeth after she succeeded to the throne, and was changed to a mixed surname of her and her husband: Mountbatten-Windsor.
But even if there is a surname, the royal family does not use it very much. This surname is only used when members of the royal family register for marriage.
So what role does the Queen play in the naming?
In the prince and princess naming competition, which has become a national game, the queen always seems to be absent. In other words, this old lady is not as interested in the names of her great-grandchildren as in the use of every toothpaste in the castle. Use up your heart.
But the "Daily Mail" recorded: Prince Edward once tried to give his son a very trendy and fashionable name: Theodore, but the Queen vetoed this proposal without saying a word: Young man Just don’t jump too much. So it seems that behind every royal name, there are many hidden rules that must be followed.
Even foreigners with very long names cannot name themselves Liyingshang·Angelina·Yingxueyuhanling·Xueliji·Mei·J·Q·Anta Leah · Shang Meng Xun Mei · Hathaway · Rose Rose Tears · Yu Ling · Evil · Phantom Seawayn · Summer Shadow · Liuli Wu · Ya · Lei Yue Ya · Xi Meng Yue · Yue Lan · Lan Sakura·Purple Butterfly·Lixin·Leiqiluo·Feng·Yan Yuan·Hiro·Jiuxi·Yuyan·Ye Luolilan...
And those weird ones: for example, called Goodchild ( Names such as "Good Boy" and "Fairweather" are indeed only a few.
So will the next royal child be named George again?
