@RickiTarr

I don’t think that’s going to re-endear them to HMQ and it’s too big a burden of a name to give to a Californian civilian girl. I don’t like giving babies the burden of dead relative’s names anyway TBH.
Her name is Lili. That's not a big burden. Many people, myself included, have off-the-wall middle names which honour a dead relative - but they rarely see the light of day.

Shame Meghan's mum's name wasn't used as a second middle name.

I've always found the Lilibet thing to be very saccharine and twee but Lili is fine and goes well with Archie.

Personally I don't like it as it's a nickname not a full name, but I think the sentiment is sweet.

I suspect that’s what the family will think too.

A few weeks back there was a poster on here asking about Lilibet for a girls name - I wonder ....

But tbf I don't like Archie either so I obviously have a different taste in names.

I think it’s a lovely tribute to the Queen and an adorable name.
