All hail Prince George!

Just two days Prince William and Kate Middleton welcomed their first child into the world, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge annouced the little one's name, which is fully Prince George Alexander Louis, and social media rapidly exploded with reactions to the royal heir's moniker. 

While George Clooney has yet to comment on his new regal cred, a number of stars have taken to Twitter to sound off on the third in line to the throne's name.

Here's what the celebs (and a few common folk!) are saying:

Joel Madden: "Prince George. Instant Classic."

Joan Rivers: "Prince George is very cute, and thankfully you can tell him apart from his father, William – he's the one with more hair."

Joel McHale: "A baby was named"
