Picking the perfect name for your child is always an overwhelming task, and is even more so when they are going to sit on the throne one day. When the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were preparing to welcome their first child into the world, they therefore knew he had to have a name that was literally fit for a king.
After many discussions, Kate and William finally decided to name their son George Alexander Louis, who is known to the public as Prince George of Cambridge. The young prince was born on July 22, 2013, and is celebrating his ninth birthday today.
Although it would be hard to imagine George being called anything else, royal expert Katie Nicholl insists that the eldest Cambridge child very nearly did have a different name. According to the author, Kate originally hoped to call her firstborn Alexander, although she and William had not decided for sure, reports The Mirror.
