Its Archie Harrison!! Mountbatten

Wow that's a different name for a Royal

His full name would be Archibald.

Harrison

I actually like it, I’m surprised at the overwhelming negativity and shock?

Archibald isn't an improvement on anything.

Archie and Archibald are good Scottish names . And I like Harrison Ford so... all thumbs up from me . Not that they care (and they really shouldn't, their baby, their choice )

Of all the gorgeous boys names there are, I'm surprised at the choice and not impressed. Too many dogs called Archie.

No - his name is Archie. If his full name was Archibald they'd have said that's what his name was.

Love it: but then I have an Archie - ten years ago when I named him that there were none!!

A journalist who I think is Claudia Winkleman’s mother said that Spencer is the name of someone who would work for Harry and Meghan. I wonder what she is making of Archie Harrison

at least they didn't choose a made up name or add a 'cute i' to some name. still it'll give the world something else to take the piss out of along with brexit

I like Archie. Harrison not so much but each to their own. They seem to have chosen a name they really like and not necessarily the ones a royal baby is usually named so good for them😊

George Harrison anyone?

Agree Agednotwine

They have said Archibald ka Archie if that were his name. Bit like his father was announced as Henry ka Harry

Oh dear Lord!
What on earth are they thinking?!

They don't have the pressure of him being a future King, so they were a lot freer than K&W

First name Harrison would have had more mileage: Introducing Harry's son, Harrison.

Anyway, his mum's American, best build a bridge and just get over it!!

Oh dear Lord!
What on earth are they thinking?!

Can't be certain but I think it may have been that they liked those names and they were naming their own child.

What a horrible bunch of snobs on this thread.

I wonder how Americans pronounce Archie. I pronounce in Ar-chee, British would pronounce it Awr-chee. Any Americans here?

If it is Archibald that's a brave choice given the Windsor males' record with hair loss!

It’s awful but it’s not as though they’ll care what anyone else thinks so good for them for choosing a name they like. Freaking heck though. Really?!

I am glad its not Alfie , although i do like that name.
Alfred is quite royal - Freddie would have been nice. I like his name though.

Bloody hell! I can't believe some of these reactions.

It's not my absolute favourite, no, but it doesn't really matter what I think, because it's not my baby!

That’s bad. I feel like that name is more suited to the son of the Duke and Duchess of Essex*. Do not like.

• I’m an Essex Girl, so I can say that.

So many negative connotations for both names.

Unless Adolf was actually Archie Hitler and I was mistaken about Josef and it was actually Harrison Stalin, I'm struggling to see what negative connotations?!

I think it's a lovely name and well done that they didn't pick a royal name.

I read online that he will not have a title, but has that actually been substantiated? I can understand if they chose to avoid him having a title
