Keeping it Simple
Some commentators said the names appeared to have no direct connection to Kate's side of the family.
“They've kept it very simple by not trying to represent all parts of the family,” royal historian Tracy Borman told Sky News.
“I think there seems to be genuine joy, warmth and good feeling about this birth and the duke and duchess are so popular. People will be nothing but pleased.”
The interest stirred by the birth has given a further boost to the royal family after the public's enthusiastic celebration last year of Queen Elizabeth's 60 years on the throne, and Kate and William's lavish Westminster Abbey wedding in 2011.
The monarchy's popularity sank to a low in the 1990s after a string of divorces and the death of William's mother, Diana, after which many said the royal family's response made it appear out of touch with public sentiment.
The left-leaning Guardian newspaper described the turnaround as “an incredible recovery,” although its website offered readers a 'Republican' button to block out royal stories.
Most British newspapers devoted their front pages to big pictures of Tuesday's first photocall, with headlines such as “Hello World” and “Our Little Prince.”
But after weeks of fevered coverage, the couple is expected to try to keep a low profile. They spent Wednesday at Kate's parents' home in the village of Bucklebury, in southern England.
The royal couple has been living in a remote part of Wales, where William works as a rescue helicopter pilot, but is expected to move later this year to London's Kensington Palace, William's childhood home.
Royal observers say William is determined to shield his son from the obsessive attention that plagued his mother Diana, pursued relentlessly by the media and killed in a car crash in 1997 after her car was chased by photographers.
“William knows only too well that his baby son will be the new favorite creature in the circus he grew up in,” wrote Daily Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson. “Every plan he and Kate have put in place is to protect him.”
