Go Mary, go!

Possible. One of them is suspiciously fair of hair and skin to be of purely Greek decent.

So the new prince will likely get 4 names, and the first of those will be Christian, with a hundred percent's certainty.

I would guess he will also get the name of his paternal grandfather, Henrik or possibly the French version Henri. And maybe he will get the name Frederik after his father.

As for the last one or two names, who's to say? I'm quite certain he will not me named after Mary's father, John, but will instead get other names of past kings, possibly Knud, Svend, Harald, Erik, Christoffer or Valdemar.

In conclusion, a plausible guess would be Christian Henrik Valdemar Frederik.

The little Prince was baptised and christened 10 minutes ago:

Christian Valdemar Henri John

His last two names are after his grandfathers, the Prince Consort Henrik (Henri) and Crown Princess Mary's father, John Donaldson.

Congratulations, and may a good and rich life lay before him.

Since he's royalty, and they exist by sucking wealth from the general population, I have no doubt your wish will come true.

[Adagio]

Damn, why did you have to bring this thread up, you just made a bad morning even worse

Those royal idiots can consider themself lucky that I'm not a violent guy... I just hope my wish* comes true someday

Yes, yes, everyone can derive some personal enjoyment from an occasion such as this.

[Winston]

86% of Danes believe the Monarchy will still be in place when the young Prince is ready to ascend the throne.

And some commentators say the worst thing he will have to endure in his life is having to witness Tina Turner in concert every time Hans Christian Andersen turns 225, 250 and so on.

One thing's for certain, over-enthusiastic Australians won't succeed in sneaking "Bruce" in there, no matter how much they plead.

OK, first of all. Aussies don't plead.

How do you think we got sentenced to this stinking, hot, sunny, sandy, hedonistic hell in the first place?!!

Second. It is considered disrespectful to the local spirits to use the name 'Bruce' of any male who has not yet been ceremonially initiated. Once the good lad comes to manhood, he shall of course be required to prove himself.

On that fateful day, the young aspirant will be submitted to the solemn test of Australian masculinity. Vested in ritual shorts and thongs, on a summer evening of his 18th year, the budding novitiate must take his place beside the sacred fire of the bbq. Taking gulps from a can of VB he shall stand there looking about the place. With due courtesy and decorum the candidate shall occasionally look over his left shoulder, whereupon he shall turn and look over his right shoulder. Upon conclusion of such observance, the candidate shall look back towards his VB and solemnly declare

"Ey"

If desired, the candidate may attempt to discuss the cricket. Or he might decide to take after his maternal side and give Dad some lessons about sailing.

[Winston]

Several good observations there, Terra Nullius. Not least about the sailing..

About the name, I'm quite content to have gotten 3 out of 4 correct.

And I'm also very happy that the little guy got the name of Mary's father. He's a great guy, and everybody here thinks he's been instrumental in granting us such a fine Crown Princess, and helping to ease her transition into her new role. Very fitting that our future King will carry his name also.

On a strictly personal level, I can't really complain about having both of my given names - Hans (John) and Henrik (Henri) - represented among the Prince's 4.

Damn Winston, you're so... conservative

[Winston]

Hmm, I just knew you'd seize upon this thread as soon as the tiniest bit of personal information was volunteered.

Now, does this mean you will be feverishly adding this latest personal information to your already vast archive of Polytubbie history? I could be pretending, you know..

[Ecthy]

I have 3 private pictures of you, plus hundreds of little pieces of personal information that you dropped in all the years. Your profile will be complete soon

I truly am sorry, Andreas. Nobody deserves such a cruel fate, not even a 1983 Brandenburger.
