Does anyone know which era we're now in?

[SirCharlesRainier]

Wikipedia says:

Charles I - Caroline or Carolinian
Charles II - Carolean
Charlemagne - Carolingian

Is it one of these or something different/new?

Yes I agree that eras aren't always named after monarchs and these ones probably won't be. But there'll still be the need for an adjective relating to other aspects of this king, and I just wondered if there was an "official" one.

The "era" as such will only be about 20 years long, does it need a name?

Edward VII of the 'Edwardians' only reigned for 9 years.

how do you say this? I never know whether it's 'ling" like "sing" or "ling" like "binge"because of the vowel afterwards, which usually softens the 'g'.

(or if it's totally silent, as in Charlemagne)

Charles I & 11 it was the Stuart period.

I've always heard it pronounced as in sing, or bing bong, or bang. Never heard it as singe.

Surely it only becomes an era if something significant arises from it?

according to google it is pronounced 'ka ruh lin jee uhn

I would have said these are only names given in retrospect to loosely define a period of history. I've never heard of the Elizabethan era as anything apart from the time of Elizabeth I. The period between 1910 and 1952 is never defined as Georgian because it can be more accurately described in relation to the wars if necessary. When the current royal family die out the whole 'era' could be described as the Windsor period I suppose.
