I popped into a pub this afternoon for a wee and a pint and they had a Royal Baby Name sweepstake board behind the bar.

Someone had suggested 'Dodi.' Grin

Name is George Alexander Louis.

YouTheCat · 24/07/2013 18:27

I'm disappointed they didn't go with my suggestion of 'Kensington Tyler'.

usualsuspect · 24/07/2013 18:31

Thats another 10000000 threads to hide then.If the names been announced.

valiumredhead · 24/07/2013 18:32

I wonder if he'll be known as Alexander

ToysRLuv · 24/07/2013 18:33

Please, not Alexander!

YouTheCat · 24/07/2013 18:33

If he is then I reckon that means he's part meerkat.

fedupofnamechanging · 24/07/2013 18:35

They are so boringly predictable - perfectly nice names, but it would be nice if they picked something that wasn't the same as all their ancestors!

valiumredhead · 24/07/2013 18:37

Why not Alexander?

ToysRLuv · 24/07/2013 18:40

No reason!

propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS · 24/07/2013 18:48

Oh it is just disappointment upon disappointment.
King Kai had such a nice ring to it.

gordyslovesheep · 24/07/2013 18:54

I don't want to leave the country I want to be here to start the revolution

LegoAcupuncture · 24/07/2013 19:32

I'm not a royalist, couldn't give two hoots about what they call their baby, I was complaining about the thread title. It's not a nice title. But MN have let is stand so I'm obviously in the minority.

And people are getting quite hysterical and making stupid flippant remarks on this thread, please don't rope me in with them.

SueDoku · 24/07/2013 19:39

Ah, see they've decided to be original then...... George eh - whodathoughtit....? Smile

IfNotNowThenWhen · 24/07/2013 20:42

I have one too Toys Grin

TimeofChange · 24/07/2013 20:54

I think it's a mean, tasteless thread title too.

This is like the disgusting rascist jokes that appear after a bombing or murder.

I actually agree with Scottish Mummy (which is unusual).

usualsuspect · 24/07/2013 21:02

Ooh don't start with the racist bollocks again.

Been there,done that.

BombJack · 24/07/2013 21:03

People should inform themselves before coming out with this "drain on the taxpayer" stuff.

TimeofChange · 24/07/2013 21:04

Maybe Op could start thread about disabled children being a drain on society or people with cancer.

That wouldn't be funny either.

usualsuspect · 24/07/2013 21:06

Maybe posters could stop being so hysterical

FutTheShuckUp · 24/07/2013 21:07

Seriously? Comparing someone with cancer or disability to someone who will live in wealth and want for nothing in life purely due to family connections? here- have this spare grip I have

Alisvolatpropiis · 24/07/2013 21:16

Yeah because this baby will grow up wealthy means it's totally fine to mock and deride. Ones position in life is an accident of birth.

Double standards are alive and well.

FutTheShuckUp · 24/07/2013 21:21

Is that what I said? I think I said comparing a monarch to someone with cancer or a disability is at best moronic.

ToysRLuv · 24/07/2013 21:21

Well, for one, cancer sufferers etc. do not expect to rule over us purely because of this accident of birth.. That is a big difference, really.

SuperStrength · 24/07/2013 21:23

what a missed opportunity...I liked Muhammad

Alisvolatpropiis · 24/07/2013 21:28

Fut

I was speaking generally. If my post was directed at you then I would have that clear.
