German history is kind of like Les Mis, everyone and their dog has the same first name.
Tfw you’re trying to differentiate the Hohenzollern…
Karl, his son Karl, Karl’s son Karl :)))) And Karl’s brother…. Karl
German mood is having to choose your son’s name out of three possible options…
Ludwig, Leopold und Luitpold?
Friedrich, Wilhelm, Friedrich Wilhelm, Wilhelm Friedrich ?
And if your child sadly turns out to be a girl: Wilhelmine
“We could start being newfangled and use different names, your Majesty”
“… or we could just add numbers”
