When it comes to royal newborn naming, don't expect any fashionable, unique or even more modern names. Liam and Noah may be the hottest boy names in 2019, but these two names are not ranked as the third middle name for Prince William and his wife's youngest son born in the same year.
Because for the Windsor family, the first priority is to refer to the family genealogy. Therefore, it is no surprise that many royal babies have the same name as the beloved kings. Take the Little Prince George (George) as an example. When he inherits the throne in the future, it will be George VII. The name of Dad Duke of Cambridge himself can be traced back to William , the eleventh century conqueror.
However, the royal family often takes the names of Queen Victoria's grandchildren and changes slightly, such as Helena, Beatries, Louise. Even when the British royal family decides to resist tradition, they cannot escape the classic choice. The middle name of Prince Harry and Meghan's eldest son Arche, Harryson, means the son of Harry.
The following is a long line of royal babies and their meaning, which may bring you a little inspiration.
