Charles is a kilt wearer but I don't see him wearing Stewart tartans that often and the amount of Stewart blood in the Windsors is now running rather thin.
Choice of name at accession is a personal choice of the monarch and it needn't be their first name or we would have had Queen Alexandrina instead of Victoria and two king Alberts instead of Edward VII and George VI.
The various cited authorities regarding Royal Stewart all seem to say different things which is bound to lead to confusion. Look at a packet of shortbread and chances are they will all sport the Royal Stewart!
