And I think someone is being rather ignorant about their history. The reason for the union of 1707 was to make sure the Scots complied with the English decision to exclude the Stuarts and accept the Hanoverian succession. And so what if the Hanoverians are descended from the Stuarts? The Stuarts only had a claim to the English throne on account of them being descended from the Tudors. And the decision of 1917 notably did not choose Stuart as the new royal name.
