Meghan Markle and Prince Harry revealed Wednesday the unique name they chose for their newborn son: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

Archibald was a Scottish nobleman and politician, who was related to Princess Diana. Archie is not a Prince because his father is not first in line for the throne.

The name was somewhat surprising, as British oddsmakers’ top picks for potential names included more traditional monikers, like Arthur, James, Philip and Albert. In fact, bookies revealed just 60 bets were placed on Archie at 100/1.

Pain Court’s Levi Tetrault sang the Canadian national anthem prior to Game 4 of the Ontario Hockey League final between the Ottawa 67’s and Guelph Storm last night.
