The royals will pick some traditional biblical boring name that, let's face it, will hardly be the parent's choice. Such an important decision, such as the name of the FUTURE KING/QUEEN OF ENGLAND couldn't simply be left to the parents. There's mindless tradition, pomp, and farce to perpetuate here.
They can name the kid whatever they want, can't they? The pomp bollocks comes along when the child gets crowned, as they then get to pick their regnal name. There's been talk for years that Charlie wants to go with the name George when his mum finally carks it.
Edit: what GazChap says.
For instance, the last King (George VI) was actually called Albert.
