Prince William's 'out-there' name ideas for Prince George left royal staff in disbelief! You might think royal baby names are always traditional and predictable, but it turns out Prince William had some rather unconventional choices in mind for his firstborn.
A new biography, "William and Catherine: The Intimate Inside Story," penned by Russell Myers, the royal editor for The Mirror, has unveiled some surprising details about the naming process for Prince George. While the world now knows him as Prince George, the journey to that name was filled with laughter and some truly unexpected suggestions from the Prince of Wales.
But here's where it gets interesting... It's revealed that William and Kate spent considerable time brainstorming names for their heir, who was born in 2013. While Kate had her heart set on names like Alexander or Alexandra, Prince William was apparently exploring more 'left-field' options. According to the book, he even used to start meetings with his press team by playfully suggesting names like 'Rodney' or 'Graham', much to their bemused reactions!
This biography, drawing on insights from numerous palace insiders, offers a deep dive into the lives of the Prince and Princess of Wales. It covers not only the joyous occasion of introducing their first child to the world but also the more personal aspects of their lives, including how William shielded his children during Kate's cancer diagnosis and their navigation of the public scrutiny surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
And this is the part most people miss... While William's suggestions were certainly humorous, the book clarifies that he ultimately favored a more traditional path for his son. The final shortlist for a boy's name was narrowed down to George and Louis. It's a fascinating glimpse into the human side of royalty, showing that even future kings have a sense of humor and perhaps a touch of mischief when it comes to naming their children.
