Yet Another People in Alternate Universes Thread

So, here's another one.

Here are the rules: nothing too ASB, use of OTL people only, no contradictions! Oh, and the POD, since I'm a Vicky fan, is January 1 1836.

----

Stefani Germanotta

Rising politician in the Manhattan Commune, Germanotta is incredibly young for her prominent position in one of the major political parties of the city-state. She has stated that her ambition is the Presidency of the Commune, however some Manhattanite nationalists have noted and brought oppobrium upon some US-friendly statements she made.


Franz Josef II Von Hapsburg

Born 1912, Franz Josef II became Prince of Silesia in 1946, following the reclamation of the territory by Austria in the Second Great War. In 1974, he succeeded Karl I, and has generally remained aloof from politics, preferring to keep the Triple Parliament at arms' length.

Adolf Hitler

Crazy right wing Viennese politician, who was killed in the June Rebellion of 1926.

So they all have to be in the same TL? That's no fun. Or do you mean anything goes as long as all TLs diverge _after_ Vicky gets on the throne?

Here one,

David "Dave" Mustaine
President of the United States of America. was Senator of Columbia (POD: Oregon Territory went all American) until he ran in 2008 for the Presidency, as the ticket for the Freedom Party (Fascist). Is very anti-Manhannite and hates the Commune with a passion.

Vicky is the short form of Victoria 2 which is a real-time strategy / simulation / geopolitical game starting on January 1st 1836.

I believe these are all in the same world.
 
Ferdinand I, King of the French
Born on September 3, 1810. Son and successor to King Louis-Philippe I of the French. He succeeded after the latter's death in 1850. Overall, Ferdinand I was a well-loved King by his people and a quite competent ruler. He greatly promoted French culture by protecting many artists, but also promoted French industry, making France the second industrial power behind Victorian Britain. After his death in 1880, he was succeeded by his son, King Louis-Philippe II.

Henri, count of Chambord
Born in 1820, he became the heir of the legitimist cause after the overthrow of his grandfather Charles X in 1830 and the renounciation of his uncle Louis, count of Angoulême (Louis XIX for the Monarchists). Named Henri V by the Legitimists, he tried several times to assert his rights to the French throne. He eventually died in 1883 without having achieved his goal. His pretentions fell to his son, count Hugh of Chambord (1847-1914, pretender under the name Hugh II of France), named after the ancestor of Henri's dynasty, Hugh Capet.

Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte
Born in 1808, he was the nephew of Emperor Napoleon I and became head of House Bonaparte after the deaths of his cousin Napoleon II (1832), his uncle Joseph (1844) and his father Louis (1846), though he already appeared as the Bonapartist heir following the Duke of Reichstadt's death. Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte tried several times to stage a coup against the Orléans Monarchy, but never succeeded and became closely watched. He eventually resorted to present his own candidates to the Monarchy's election. Though the Bonapartists were the leading opposition party, they never won an election. Louis-Napoléon eventually died in 1873, and his son, Eugène Napoléon, succeeded him at the head of House Bonaparte.
 
Ferdinand I, King of the French
Born on September 3, 1810. Son and successor to King Louis-Philippe I of the French. He succeeded after the latter's death in 1850.

I think Ferrand is a better name for him.

The Manhattan Commune? What's that? :rolleyes:

The one where Lady Gaga is a rising politician in.

Paul Whitehouse
President of the Welsh government-in-exile, formerly the Secretary of Internal Affairs for the Socialist Republic, now living in the Manhattan Commune. Hates the English a LOT because of the "Second English Conquest" of Wales in the Third Great War.
Hates the Democratic Republic of Wales as well.

I don't see any reason why.

Ferdinand is also a firstname that does exist in French, although it is rarely used nowadays. Yet, I think it was rather known during Louis-Philippe's timeperiod. Plus, when talking about Spanish Kings, Austrian Archdukes or Italian rulers named Ferdinand, the French do say Ferdinand.

Ferrand, on the other hand, is a form that is more ancient and soon lost popularity. I hardly know any known french people named Ferrand after the Middle Age's end. In fact, I'm not sure I know one past the XIVth century.

Also, Louis-Philippe's eldest son and heir's birth name was Ferdinand-Philippe d'Orléans : why would he choose Ferrand instead of Ferdinand as Regnal name?

I agree I think Ferdinand will work as a regnal name and is a better name but I think Ferrand or Fernand sound more French than Ferdinand.
