William and Kate's dog picked out Prince George's name in unconventional game

While many parents-to-be run themselves ragged trying to come up with the perfect name for their newborn, there's extra pressure when you're naming the future king. When William, Prince of Wales and his wife Kate were struggling to decide on a name for their firstborn, they came up with an unconventional solution.

According to the Times, the royal couple enlisted the help of their dog, Lupo, who passed away two years ago, to pick out their son's name from a list of possible contenders. The couple reportedly wrote all the possible names on scraps of paper and put them on the floor of their home.
