He’s a sadistic little bastard of a boy king in _Game of Thrones_.

He turned me into a Cnut! (Got better.)

I vote for something from the Scottish side of the family tree: Kenneth, Alexander, David, or Malcolm. Let the reporters go berserk trying to figure out the Roman numeral.

With Philip, they could spend decades arguing over whether Mary’s husband should count.

Oh yawn, I hope it isn’t George. I’m already gutted it wasn’t a girl.

I would like David. A King David would be a marvellous thing, and please Wales no end. It’s about time Wales got tossed a bone, being branded a ‘mere’ principality rather than Kingdom like England and Scotland.
