Its Archie Harrison!! Mountbatten

[MissQuad]

Wow that's a different name for a Royal

More Zara and Mike than Kate and William. I like it!

@Cookiedoughforbreakfast

Shit - I thought it was my baby! Thanks for reminding me!

Everyone is just giving their initial reaction. How unusual!

Archie is a fine name, if you happen to be a dog!

And Harrison? Harry's Son? Ffs...

@Agednotwine the family name was Batternberg. But was changed to Mountbatten in 1917 by George V as it was considered to German
.

I quite like Archie. Works for most ages. Ive known people with the name at different ages and its worked for them all, though not taught a little one for quite a while.

Harrison isn't to my taste, but its certainly not as bad as some names you see. It feels quite American.

Apparently Archie was an outsider bet at 100/1.

Oh dear god its awful! I'm sure lots of people have an old Uncle Archie somewhere and in some places in Scotland they say Erchie! what were they thinking! ( Disclaimer they probs would hate my childrens names!)

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

I love both names. I think they maybe chose the surname/middle name do in the future he can just cell himself Archie Harrison and drop the royal link if he wants as this is something they would find important. Also Harrison is a little American too!

Awful

@hazeyjane by "so many negative connotations" I'm guessing that they mean in their tiny little corner of the country there are children with these names who they consider less worthy than their own little darlings (just look how many times the word Chav has been used on this thread). As it goes, in my tiny little corner of the world I don't know a single child named Archie or Harrison, but I don't make sweeping assumptions that these names are so unpopular in other parts of the country

Like many others have said, it's their baby, they clearly like the names so good luck to them.

British would pronounce it Awr-chee
Some, not all. Many world say Ar-chee like you.

Awful

Love it

Is it possible that Harry and Meghan were influenced by the American red haired Archie comic ?😁😁😁
Harry being his cheeky self as usual.

Well, he will fit right in if they want to live in Essex. I have to say Harry's Son makes me smile - I can see that once you thought of that it would be hard to resist (much like North West).

Re. the surname, via some Google searches:

But, in 1960, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, decided that their descendants would use the surname Mountbatten-Windsor but they can choose to use the name of the Dukedom.

William and Harry used to use Wales.
Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice use York.
Prince William's children use Cambridge.
Prince Edward's children use Mountbatten-Windsor.
Princess Anne used Mountbatten-Winddsor before her first marriage.

So, Harry and Meghan could choose - Mountbatten-Windsor or Sussex. Once Charles is King, then the baby can be called Prince too.

Ye - but with the royal potato in the mouth accent, it would be Awr-chee.

Onemorecakeplease - when you named your baby Archie ten years ago, there weren’t none. It was a top-20 boys name ten years ago. More babies were called Archie ten years ago than now.

Ugh

Isn't Archie Prince George's nickname? Possibly he named his new cousin

I don't think it is coincidental that they chose something non-royal. I don't think Harry actually wants the royal life and is sick of people being so focused on him because of who his mother was. I think he wants to fade into anonymity. I reckon they will move away from the UK in the not so distant future.

Maybe MissQuad.

What negative connotations does Archie have

Is this true? Archie?
