The Prince of Cambridge, born to Kate Middleton and Prince William, has been named George Alexander Louis. Add titles and a surname, and the lil’ guy’s full autograph would stretch from Kensington Palace to the Tower of London.
With all of the brouhaha surrounding the royal birth, we are wondering about stories surrounding how you got your name, or the names you gave your kids.
(For instance, my mother almost named me Heidi, but my older siblings put a stop to it. “You can’t do that, Mom,” they insisted. “The kids will call her Heidi Ho Hone.” Thank goodness Mom listened to reason.)
