to call my son Kane-Neville?

[hingmy]

Just had my first baby and I want to call him Kane-Neville Paul, but DH and PILs aren't keen. In fact they've 'forbidden' me from calling him that, and are very insistent that he be called George Edward Philip Mountbatten Charles Alexander Robert Wales, and are citing 'precedent' and 'protocol' and 'national dignity' and yadda yadda yadda. AIBU to tell them to fuck off - I've just squeezed him out my mimsy hole, I've got more stitches than a sprigged muslin tablecloth, and all I want is a blue WKD and to be left in peace. Fuck it, I'm just going to call him Kane-Neville. AIBU?

Hi Kate .

What about Tyler?

YABU, the hyphen is soooo tacky.

WTF is a 'mimsy hole'?

YABU

Kaynevle is a shit name, the ils name choice is much better.

Yanbu. Could you compromise and call him Prince?

Kane-Neville Rooney has a better ring to it. I don't know why it just seems to roll off the tongue better.

Another vote for Tyler

Hi hngmy. Congratulations. I'm curious-what would you have called a girl?

I haven't laughed so much at an OP ever

Mimsyhole

Organza Patrice.

Have you thought about compromising with something like Kallumlicious-Rudolfo?

YABU. Not enough consecutive vowels in that name, and only one punctuation mark.

Your ILs sound soooooooooo entitled.

(Apologies to previous thread poster who came up with that one!)

I second the name Prince as a compromise...really good idea cailinsalach

YANBU tell them to keep their beaks out. It's a fab name hun xx

How about Rollo ? I think King Rollo has a certain something about it.

Kane-Neville is ok, a little... 'ordinary', for want of a better word? You could really make it stand ahead of the crowd by changing the spelling to K'Nev'L Oh yeah, baby, that's good enough for a King, if I may be so bold!

YABU. You PROMISED to call him Philip after me (not your DHs bloody Grandad).

Why don't you go all minimalist and call him just HRH?

Tyler would be a better name

How about Bonnie, to go with Tyler, with maybe Prince in the middle, and Charles as a nod to your b-awful ILs OP? Bonnie Prince Charlie Tyler sounds perfect to me. Didn't you mention your surname was Wales, too?

How about Wayne-Keanu or sommat sophisticated like that???

Right, I've decided to compromise. They get their choice of formal name (the bloody snobs) but I get to choose his everyday name. It's HRH. Pronounced 'hrrrr'.
