What is your Royal Wedding guest name?

[A Cousin]

As we move closer to the Royal Wedding, here's a fun game:

Start with either Lord or Lady. Your first name is the name of one of your grandparents. Your surname is the name of one of your first pets, hyphenated with the name of the street you grew up on.

Mine is Lady Nina Genvieve Aloysius-Morningside.

However, my invitation must have gone astray. I cannot find it anywhere!

[HellsBells]

Mine is Lady Kath Bunny-Station, which sounds very strange!!

Must admit to not being that interested in the Royal Wedding, I wish them both every happiness but I won't be watching it on TV.
Is it really big news in USA?

[Silktie]

OK, let's see:

Lady Elisabeth Joseph-Pyramid

I'll be checking out the bits on the news so I can be The Public and criticise/laugh at or compliment what everyone's wearing, etc.

[YourFutureMuse]

Haha love it!

Introducing:

Lady Dorothy Baillie-Grafham

Hmm I quite like that!

The Royal Wedding falls on the same day as my Dad's 50th birthday so 2 reasons to celebrate...

I shall of course be playing the Royal Wedding Drinking game and have even purchased some union jack bunting. Hahaha. Of course I still hold that it should have been me

Haha, HellsBells! Bunny-Station....

Yup. In a weirdly detached as-if-we-are-watching-Cinderella-get-married kind of way. Of course, BBC America is lousy with coverage, but even the other news and chat shows can't get through an episode without a piece on it. Charles & Diana was the same way.

I'm going to watch some of the ceremony itself but it only requires me to wake up a half hour early for work. Pre-coverage starts at 3am. If I lived on the West Coast of the US (3 hours earlier), I would not be as motivated, I think.

@YFM - Too early for a drinking game, even for me! But tell me what it is anyway, I'll do it with my morning joe.

Ha someone just sent me another royal name generator http://uk.eonline.com/uberblog/royals/index.html
I got Lady Laura Eugenia Bellcock of Derbyshire.... not sure adding 'cock' to my surname makes it sound any posher hahaahaa. I think I prefer your method A Cousin!

As for the drinking game here it is as found on facebook I think:

The only things required are something to drink and a jug that shall be known as "The Future Kings Cup" the use of this will become clear later, although I'm sure the more experienced amongst you will be aware of its purpose. The rules are as follows (they may ocassionally enconter something of a restructuring to make them more intelligble or generally better), although as it stands they are incomplete, which means I need your suggestions to make this the best damn day it can be...

1. If the Queen is on the screen you must be drinking. The woman has ruled the country for over 50 years, the least you can do is get destroyed in her honour.

2. Any time Prince Harry appears all players must produce a Nazi salute. The last player to do so must consume 5 fingers/mouthfuls for their poor reactions.

3. If Elton John is spotted the last person to shout "Candle in the Wind" must drink 5.

4. Any time time paralells are drawn to the Diana and Charles wedding (or any previous Royal Wedding for that matter), by commentators or otherwise, all players must consume 3 fingers/mouthfuls of their drink.

5.We're British (or shall assume the role for the day), which means we're a simple folk who enjoy comforts such as bacon and beer. With this in mind then, what better way to greet our anthem than with a hearty chug. As a result when the National Anthem is playing, everyone must be stood up and drinking.

6.William will one day become king of this fine country, a fact that needs to be celebrated no? Every time the word "future" is said, in the mentioned context or not, an amount no less than 1 finger must be added to the "Future Kings Cup" by any player. This should then go in a clockwise direction from the first player to do so everytime future is mentioned, to ensure the cup has a good mix of drinks.


7. And following on from Rule 6, The last person to shout "God save the future King!" upon the proclamation of "I now pronounce you man and wife" has to down the Future King's Cup.


8. Prince Phillip has found a warm place in many of our hearts, his "Racist Grandad" appeal simply too hard too dislike. As a result, whenever he is shown independant of the Queen (to avoid complications with rule 1), the last player to shout "Bloody Foreigners" must drink 3 fingers. Penalties can be awarded for anyone who makes no attempt to imitate his accent.

9. Prime Ministers never tend to be popular, but our current one is hated even by those standards. So to allow you all to "stick it to da man" whenever our fearless leader David Cameron appears on screen, the first player to shout "C**t" (substitute for a less offensive word if necessary) is allowed to come up with a rule of their own. Enjoy your one chance at tyranny!

10.Whenever the union flag appears on screen, the first to shout "rule brittania" is bestowed with the honor of delegating four measures however they see fit, one for each nation of the UK. This can either be to single player, or spread amongst them. Make sure our great flag is honoured with the drinking it deserves!

[Lukyan Lyubof]

Interesting idea, I myself shall not be watching as I would personally hate to have my wedding publicised and broadcast to everyone, regardless of how famous I was; I therefore feel it would be hypocritical to gawp at them
Anyway, you may now refer to me as: Lady Patricia Murray-Killbride
(The surname is kinda ironic considering the topic, oops :/ kill bride )
