The royal baby news is getting saturation coverage in the media, no surprise, with speculation about everything from when we'll see the first picture of Kate's baby bump to the actual due date to could it possibly be twins? One of the big questions is what to name the baby when he/she finally arrives. This article includes some fun possibilities, but I didn't decide to link to it until I noticed that it has a couple of significant errors. Come on, Today show! Don't you have a fact checker?
In the "George" section it says that the Queen's grandfather (George the fifth) led the nation through World War one, which is technically true, but it seems to me that George is a hot prospect for the baby's name because of the Queen's father (George the sixth) who lead the nation through World War two. The second mistake is just plain careless. In the "Philip" section, the writer describes Prince Philip, the baby's great-grandfather, as the "wife" of the reigning Queen. Really? NBC, don't you have anyone who can catch this stuff?
