i'm bewildered by every generation of the british royal family that chooses to pick one of the super basic previously-used names for their heir presumptive. mix it up a little! make life easier for future schoolchildren!
#some good options include:#Alfred (as in Alfred the Great; downsides include having to figure out whether 21st century Al counts as the 1st or the 2nd)#Arthur (borderline religious statement. would probably cause a lot of drama)#Harold (implicit attempt to position current dynasty as rightful successors to the house of Godwin)#Richard (mildly basic but hasn't been used for an heir in 300 years. these guys seem to be unlucky so it would be funny)#Stephen (after Stephen of Blois. name your heir this to tell your relatives ''we're coming for your thrones'')
