Kings, Queens And Eras

[barry1010]

My grandparents were born in the Victorian Era, my parents Edwardian, my children Elizabethan.
My next grandchild will be Carolean.
Must as I like William I'm not so keen on being a Vilheman or a Willie and thought it would be a nice nod to his grandparents if he chose to be King Philip.
Would that make us Falllopians?

1830-37 was Wilhelmine, though that all sounds a bit German (William IV was so to speak the last of the German Georges).

The Bible goes with Philippians.

Perhaps we'll revert to the family name again, as the Plantagenets and the Tudors. Windsors is a perfectly acceptable name, now that they've dropped the German connections.

Williamite has been used before but how about Billious...?

[Peter Pedant]

king chazz has hardly parked his bottom on the Throne, let alone warmed it,
and we are talking about his sonny-wunny

//Would that make us Falllopians?//

No. We'd all end up down the tube.

>>> My next grandchild will be Carolean

Possibly not, as it seems that we're ditching Latin (on our coins, at least):

Perhaps popular culture will come to the fore in naming generations? e.g. "a child of the Beatles era", "Neighbourian", "a child of Sheeran times" or "Strictlian"?

we're not ditching much Latin, are we, Buenchico? From Elizabeth Regina to Charles Rex isn't exactly a big step, and the DG and FD are still there. There's probably not enough room on your shrinkng pound coin to put Aetatis Procul Harum or anything of the sort.
