Naming a new royal baby is an incredibly important decision, especially if that baby is one day destined to become the future King or Queen.Whether it is William, Charles, George or Elizabeth, it is essential there are no overriding historical associations which will impact their future or draw any negative comparisons.
Many names associated with the royal family have been tainted with bad luck and will likely never be used for any future ruler.
