Very chavvy name round here.

Countless men with Archie emblazoned across their chest.

tobee · 08/05/2019 16:49

Bit left field. Like Zara was in its day

englishdictionary · 08/05/2019 16:49

Why would his surname be Sussex?

ILoveMaxiBondi · 08/05/2019 16:50

There was a thread on here a while back asking for a nickname for Archie! I wonder if it was Megan Grin

Agednotwine · 08/05/2019 16:50

Harrison is quite American I'd have thought?

Archie - not one I'd pick. But I suppose it could grow on me.

FabulouslyFab · 08/05/2019 16:50

Love it!! 💝

Mountbatten-Windsor is the surname.

First names are Archie Harrison.

Maybe they're trying to head off speculation 20 years down the line about his parentage. "But we called him Harrison! Harry's Son!!"

BelulahBlanca · 08/05/2019 16:51

His surname if Mountbatten-Windsor, but he will use Sussex the same way H and W use Wales? I assume?

threedeepatthebar · 08/05/2019 16:51

I’m so shocked!!

Agednotwine · 08/05/2019 16:51

I thought that's why everyone was calling it Baby Sussex?

Like, the Duke and Duchesses children's surnames are Cambridge - after their title?

EleanorLavish · 08/05/2019 16:51

It's Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, so the Mountbatten-Windsor is his surname.
Surely it will be Archibald and Archie for short??
Personally don't like the names, but the only people that have to like it are Harry and Megan and I presume they love them!
Whatever he is called, he is super sweet and they all look very happy.

noodlenosefraggle · 08/05/2019 16:52

Not really keen, and Harrison-Harry's son is a bit weird. Another thing for Meghan to be blamed for, not Harry!

Gertie75 · 08/05/2019 16:52

I know loads of Archie's, mainly spaniels and terriers.

I like Harry and Meghan and although I didn't expect anything traditional I thought it'd be classy.

Oh no no no no no!

Greggers2017 · 08/05/2019 16:54

Poor buggers can do nothing right can they.
And everybody would think it was their baby and they could name it whatever the hell they like 🙄

BellMcEnd · 08/05/2019 16:54

Love it

It's funny because it's true.

Baby Sussex and in, baby die to the duke and duchess of Sussex

No they are not.

Motheroffeminists · 08/05/2019 16:56

Oh.

Toddlerteaplease · 08/05/2019 16:56

Dreadful!

icannotremember · 08/05/2019 16:56

My dad's dad was Archie (well Archibald but no one ever called him anything but Archie).

Cute looking baby going by the pics online, and who cares what anyone else thinks of his name really.
