Scotland has had some excellent royal names that are due a revival:
- Kenneth
- Duncan
- Lulach
- Constantine
- Macbeth
The ‘higher number’ thing is complicated by the fact that English monarchs are only numbered from the Norman conquest. England has had elevem kings called Edward (to be picky, England had nine and the UK has had a further two), but the first three reigned before William the Bastard’s little cross-channel jolly and thus don’t count.
