What name has Edward & Sophie picked for their son?

Question

I bet its one of the usual boring 'Royal' names. Why don't they pick something different.

Answer 1

Although the newborn has not yet been named, like Lady Louise Windsor, he is already styled as "Lord Wessex" for the same reason as his eldest sister. When Prince Edward and Sophie married, they decided that their children would be styled as the children of an earl rather than as princes or princesses with the style Royal Highness. This was intended to reduce the burden of royal titles and the responsibility that comes with them.

Although the first-born male of the couple will use the Earl's subdsidiary title of Viscount Severn, subsequent males and females would be styled by courtesy.

Answer 2

they havent decided yet they said they want to get to know him a bit longer before they tell everybody the name

Answer 3

Elvis so I have heard.

Answer 4

They haven't decided on a name yet. Check at http://www.theroyalforums.com under British Royals' threads for The Earl and Countess of Wessex. Some suggested names honor the newborn's father and grandfathers,and great-grandfather: George Philip Edward Christopher.

Answer 5

They haven't decided on a name.

Answer 6

I think they should pick a name that reflects modern UK society.  Something like Kyle, Ryan, Liam or Zak would make a change from the usual stuffy names they pick

Answer 7

They haven't decided on a name as yet. They have said that they wish to get to know him before they choose his name.

Answer 8

Jason Ryan Hayden?

Answer 9

unfortunately those 'boring royal names' are names that, for the most part, they cannot choose. Officially the child is named after a previous monarch, but unofficially, the child may take a different name.

EG Prince Harry, were he to become king, is actually HENRY

I don't know if this is true for those not in direct line of the throne though.
