re: How "bourbon" got it's name...Bourbon County or Bourbon Street in New Orleans?

Elizabeth II of Great Britain is the head of the Royal House of Windsor, but she is not "Betty Windsor" to 'er snooker mates dow' at the pub.

They did stick "Windsor" on Prince Andrew's uniform when he served in the UK's military.

Interesting fact about the current ruling house of the British, they're really Germans. Until WWI the name of their house was House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

As for the theory in the OP, it's a cool theory and all, but completely false. Bourbon whiskey was born in Bourbon County, Kentucky and that's where it's name comes from. The barrels they put the whiskey in and shipped out to ports all over, including New Orleans, were marked "Bourbon County Whiskey" or "Old Bourbon County Whiskey" to differentiate it from whiskies made in other areas.
