Cyril? Haha, as in Fletcher? Oh dear, that made me write an odd ode. You've only got yourself to blame!

An ode to the prince with no name (yet).

This is the tale of a young prince
Whose parents gave his socks a rinse
It wasn't that his toes were dirty
But with no name he'd got quite shirty.
The people cried out in the street
Give the lad a name, ignore his feet!
At that the parents only struck a pose
"We're out to name all ten fat toes
And fingers too, we'll have to count 'em
And wash them in Trafalgar's fountains."
A solemn hush spread right across the land
As people counted on their hands
And then some bright spark at the back
Yelled "you call him Fred, we'll call him Jack!"
And so it was the people's choice
We're all agreed and of one voice
This prince may look like mum or dad
To us he'll just be "Jack the lad"
A bit like his dear old Uncle Harry
Jolly good fun and happy as Larry.

HRH Prince Louis Arthur Charles.

He'll always be Jack to me.

Could still be "claw" if you made an anagram it. Mind you Louis is a fairly popular name. I have a nephew called Louis. Just realised he is 20 years old!

I had Gary but luckily I didn't put any money on it. My late father was Cyril which was rare at the time and probably very few since the 30s. I also walked into a hotel in Eastbourne once and Cyril Fletcher was performing a solo talk in 1979. My father also had a cousin Louis who had gone to Australia long before I was born but came to see us a couple of times.

Haha - there's a TV show that is essentially the Kardashians as if they were a royal family - the bad uncle's name was Cyril.
