Pippa & James Matthews welcome a baby girl!

[Spencerfig]

Wonder what they will call her? Older children are Grace & Arthur, I would imagine it will be something traditional like her siblings.

Pippa must shudder having to deal with fame grabby Vogue........... they really are a family of polar opposites.

Yeah, I always find that a bit odd. If I saw (and worse, chose to click on) a thread entitled "Tara Tararawumbawe and Lord Higginbottom have a child" - I'd either leave the thread if I didn't know who they were, or I'd search their name online and decide whether to join in based on that.

It sort of smacks of faux "who?"

Oooh! Well they seem to like traditional names and names that honour their family.

I believe Arthur’s middle name Michael honours Pippa’s dad and James’ brother, who died in an accident on Mount Everest. William is the middle name of Pippa’s brother, also James.

Grace’s middle name honours James’ mum, Jane. And Elizabeth is also the middle name of Pippa’s mum and sister.

I think one of her great grandmother’s name is Olive, so maybe Olive or Olivia? Or Frances/Francesca for Michael’s middle name? Caroline for Carole? Maybe Charlotte as a middle name to honour her own middle name? I’m way too invested in this 😆

I just missed an obvious answer which is a middle name of Catherine 🙄

I wonder if their paths EVER cross!

Vogue would never mention Pippa or James, or use any family photo that included them, she avoids it so entirely you wonder if they've ever met!

I wonder if they ever discuss Kerry Katona, Vogue’s ex-husband’s ex wife?! I actually reckon vogue is under orders not to discuss them.

i think Francesca Eve would be my vote

I also found that irritating posturing

They holidayed together recently.

My absolute favourite was a thread about Kim Kardashian which attracted posters saying “who? Never heard of this person”. It doesn’t make you sound more intelligent to have bypassed some of the worlds most famous people.

Is this your first day on the Internet?

I'm sorry but they aren't famous, which is why I thought they were z listers. Although reading some other posts, the husbands brother is a z lister so maybe that's where I got that idea from. Apologies for having the cheek to click on a thread and then have the audacity to.post as well. Consider me told off by the Internet police. As you were.

It is chat, usually most people are quite chatty and friendly on here.

Chill out, that wasn’t aimed personally at you, it was a light hearted story about someone not knowing who Kim Kardashian was. Stand down.

I think Kim Kardashian is a bit more famous than Pippa whatsit.

@carefullycourageous wasn’t there a battle of the bums between Pippa & Kim just after Kate & William got married? 😆

I clicked on it precisely because I did not know who they were!

Why does it matter?

Olivia Frances Catherine

or

Frances Olivia Catherine

Or Olivia Catherine Francis 😂

Alice is another good shout.

Yes I remember that, I did not know that she had got married and therefore had a new name!

Vogue wasn't even invited to Pippa & James's wedding!!! She & Spencer were very serious at the time but she wasn't invited!

Mad, isn't it?!

Wow, that's so rude! I think I remember Vogue having to say she had a prior commitment in Dublin, but you would have juggled it for your boyfriend's brother's wedding!

There is a huge difference between James and spencer, it's no wonder their wives are not that different. James is much older. Spencer although he's clean now has had his drug and alcohol issues.

This might be total BS but I’m sure I remember reading at the time that they were only inviting the partners of guests if they were engaged or married. I only remember this because there was speculation of whether Harry would bring Meghan or not. Spencer & Vogue didn’t get engaged until 2018 so maybe that was actually a thing?

That rule seems a little harsh when applied to your brother's serious girlfriend. I get it for cousins and friends from college you last saw ten years ago!
