Kate and William named their newborn royal boy – Murray!   Named after tennis star Andy Murray.

The royal baby is born!  And his name is Murray!

Murray was 5,000 to 1 odds at being picked – and did not appear in the top ten choices:

Prince William and Prince Kate are BIG fans of tennis star Andy Murray, who just won Wimbledon – ending a 77-year-drought of a British winner.  The timing was perfect.  William and Kate agreed that they would name the boy after Andy Murray but William wanted to name the boy Andy and Kate wanted to name him Murray.  Well, we now know who won.

Some Royal Watchers say that the baby was not named after the tennis star, but instead after a character on a very old sitcom – The Odd Couple.  Murray the Cop was a popular character and Prince William and Princess Kate love watching the show on cable.

The Royal couple also love bagels and when they were in New York they ate many bagels from “Murray’s Bagels.”

The couple had so many “signs” so they named the baby Murray.

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles hate the name and are begging the young couple to change the baby’s name, but Kate and William are sticking with — Murray.

As with most things in the royal family, following tradition is a key aspect in figuring out the perfect moniker for the first Prince of Cambridge (which is a title that hasn’t been used in over 190 years).

SVictoria Arbiter, ABC’s royals contributor and daughter of former Queen Elizabeth II press secretary Dickie Arbiter, tells E! News that there was an overwhelming amount of pressure on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to pick the the best name. And now… 

Long live King!!!

ROYAL BABY!

The Royal Baby is born… According to Royal watchers, Kate Middleton had a boy!

We can’t comment on the exact whereabouts of the Duke and Duchess,” a rep for the Palace told WWN.  “We wouldn’t normally do so in their private time.”

WWN has learned that Kate Middleton has given birth, to a eight pound bouncing baby boy!  And his name is reportedly James.

Aside from the media outlets camped outside the door of the hospital, the heir has another fan who is thrilled that the baby has finally arrived: great-grandmother-to-be Queen Elizabeth.

“I am just so joyful that the little boy has been born,” the 87-year-old monarch said when asked about the baby. “I’m going on holiday.”

Queen Elizabeth reportedly will not see the baby until the baby is properly prepared for the Royal christening.  ”The Queen does not want to meet the baby when he is ‘unclean’,” said a royal watcher.

The weeks-long Royal Baby Watch is finally over.  Kate  was sneaked into the hospital, got her epidural and … gave birth.

In response to a child’s question this week about whether she preferred a great-grandson or great-granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth II remarked: “It better be a boy.  Boy’s are much more durable than girls.

Bat Boy has flown to England to be with the new baby boy.

”During William and Kate’s years-long courtship, media coverage of the couple included intense speculation that Kate, a commoner by birth, might not have been a suitable partner for the future king. For Americans, it is easy to view the couple’s narrative in fairy-tale terms: Ordinary girl marries tall, handsome prince, leveling society’s class system. This makes sense when one gets to appreciate the monarchy’s pomp, circumstance and bling without any of its expense or constitutional details.

But that story line is not quite right. Kate might not have been aristocracy, but neither was she the typical girl next door. The daughter of self-made millionaires, she had flexible hours working for her parents’ party-supply business, or not working, which allowed her to focus her life around her prince. And William and Kate’s popularity ensures the continuation of the monarchy — reinforcing, not eliminating, Britain’s class system.

The Great Kate Wait is over… it’s a boy!!
