The name George - chosen for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby son - is synonymous with British kings.

It has come to represent the continuity of the monarchy and remained the bookmakers' favourite in the name-guessing stakes from the moment Kate's pregnancy was announced.

Six King Georges have worn the crown throughout history since the German-born George I, the first Hanoverian king of Great Britain, acceded to the throne in 1714.

The couple are understood to have had a few ideas for names in mind but it took a few days for them to finally confirm which one was right for their son.

It was William and Kate's decision what to call their firstborn and all three names picked were chosen because they liked them.

The Queen saw her great-grandson for the first time this morning when she visited the Duke and Duchess at their home at Kensington Palace and would have been told by the couple of their choice.

I am disappointed. I was hoping the baby would be named James connecting with the Stuart line of Diane. Gotta admit though that calling him "George" is a kick in the a^^ for the Traybots.

That was my favorite part, cherpa1; and they're very upset about it.

I don't remember ever hearing George's middle name.

How fun though. Wonder if the Royals will celebrate Festivus and perform feats of strength?
