Tell them Willie Boy is here.

42

A boy, eight pounds six ounces. Buck House will be unleashing the easel, even though the news broke online a while ago. Apparently the birth was at 4:24 BST - they did well to keep that quiet for so long.

43

Well, the baby is a Cancerian. The article I quoted earlier said after 4:54 was a Leo.

44

Congratulations to William and Kate!

45

I hope they name him Joffrey.

46

I’m so stealing that ^

47

So the whole changing the rules of succession was for nought. They may as well abandon it now.

48

Does he have Charlesian or human ears?

49

Welcome to the world, Prince John Paul George Ringo.

50

British bookmakers are breathing a sigh of relief. It would have pretty much been a profit killing payout if it had been a girl, especially if it would have been named Alexandra.

51

My father died 37 years ago today. His first and middle names were Lewis Henry. I predict that this child will be named Louis. He will be my father reincarnate.

52

Good for her that she’s okay. I predict Francis will be one of the baby’s middle names because Diana was Diana Frances.

53

Congratulations, William and Kate! pops champagne (okay, just Sprite really)

54

Babby is formed!

Congratulations to the entire family.

55

A Pope Francis and a Prince Francis at the same time. Do you think such majestic endorsements could actually make the name cool?

56

So she has the crap HMO that won’t pay for a second day?

57

This is my prediction:

The kid’s first given name will not be:

Albert, Alfred, Arthur, Charles, Francis, James, John, Lewis, Richard, Stephen, or any of the Anglo-Saxon monarchs’ names.

Likely first given names:

Andrew, Edward, George, Henry, Philip, William

58

Oh gosh. I don’t even realize that. I don’t think the first name will be Francis. I think they’ll reserve it for a middle name. Alexander for a first name, maybe? I don’t recall a King Alexander. The Dutch have King Willem-Alexander.

59

Oh, I somehow think those two will still find time for lots of overseas holidays.

60

I wonder how long before they announce the name? I hope it doesn’t wait until the baby’s christening.
