(Lou-ee). Although I don't have a french accent, DH does when he speaks French :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-has-a-name/page/3#post-961492 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 02:28:12 +0000 Espion 961492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was initially disappointed, until I mentally thought "George" in an English accent. Now it's charming! :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-has-a-name/page/3#post-961486 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 02:03:22 +0000 BSB 961486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: oh, cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-has-a-name/page/3#post-961483 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 01:52:21 +0000 sunny 961483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: yup it's called a Regnal name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-has-a-name/page/3#post-961458 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 00:50:06 +0000 Ginabean3 961458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, George isn't my fave pick...I would have preferred Alexander as the first name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-has-a-name/page/3#post-961455 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 00:47:25 +0000 lemondrop 961455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it! Like everything Kate does, a win in my book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-has-a-name/page/3#post-961432 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 00:20:42 +0000 Ree723 961432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sigh, not a fan. I can't imagine looking at a tiny baby and saying I'll call you George! I was hoping for Alexander - something strong, regal, and unique in that there has not been a King Alexander in Britain's monarchy! I'm hoping they'll call him Alexander despite his name being George!</p> <p>Also, I am glad they didn't use Spencer. She was a bit of a nutter and I think including her name would possibly have caused a bit of controversy!</p> <p>@purpleunicorn: I love your DS's name so much! And if I'm not mistaken (and don't sound like too much of a creeper, sorry!) you're French Canadian, right? That name, said in French, is just swoon worthy... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-has-a-name/page/3#post-961199 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 21:15:02 +0000 sera_87 961199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Vegmama: it's pronounced the French way - Lou-ee </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-has-a-name/page/3#post-961018 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 20:10:27 +0000 rattles 961018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: they can choose a new name at coronation, rather like the pope. George is one of Charles' middle names, after his grandfather George VI whose first name was actually Albert. Charles doesn't have a great history for British royals - Charles I was assassinated - and so rumor is that he'll take George. We'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-has-a-name/page/3#post-960834 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 19:15:14 +0000 chopsuey 960834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-has-a-name/page/3#post-960826 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 19:13:26 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 960826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to say I kind of love that name ..... I may be slightly bias though since my baby's name is Louis Alexandre! And we had a few people tell us that the name we picked sounded "royal" lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-has-a-name/page/3#post-960698 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 18:18:29 +0000 BSB 960698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: oh, really? I never knew that. So Prince Charles might be King George? Why would he want to change his name? This is all so fascinating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-has-a-name/page/3#post-959908 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:18:43 +0000 rattles 959908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: he's the only Prince George, but Charles is rumored to be taking George when he ascends the throne. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-has-a-name/page/3#post-959762 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:50:37 +0000 Reese 959762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name George.

Obviously, I love it, and it's a family name for us too. My guess for them had been George Frederick Louis Charles. I'm actually not huge on Alexander, personally, but overall it feels very them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-has-a-name/page/2#post-959717 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:40:00 +0000 MsLipGloss 959717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Yessssssss!

My FIL is named George and absolutely didn't want our LO named after him or his middle name which he didn't like either. I was hoping for James. James is more regal sounding to me. </p>
