Royal Baby name making me rage

588 replies

ItWillAllBeFine · 25/04/2018 21:46

Firstly, I know that I am ridiculous and unreasonable and totally over invested but it is GIVING ME THE ABSOLUTE RAGE that the Royals haven't released the name of the baby yet. I'm sure they are doing it deliberately just to exercise the tiny scraping of power they actually have over us. They are doing evil laughs behind the curtains of Buck House and saying "let the commoners wait..."

Full sympathy as I just fruitlessly googled ‘royal baby name’ to see if I’d missed it!

paceyswife · 25/04/2018 21:48

I'm really mad about it - irrational yes but I feel they are mocking us Confused

Ikeameatballs · 25/04/2018 21:48

Ha ha, I feel the same!

Juells · 25/04/2018 21:48

I have no fucks to give

topsyandtimison · 25/04/2018 21:49

Lol

cindersrella · 25/04/2018 21:49

Lol. Or maybe they can't decide who should pull the new babies name out of a 🎩 as they still can't decide?

Ameliablue · 25/04/2018 21:49

She had to put on a public show a few hours after giving birth, I think she's entitled to make people wait for the name.

NapQueen · 25/04/2018 21:49

Samesies.

Gemini69 · 25/04/2018 21:50

hahaaaa I'm hoping for a Albert or Arthur... Grin

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 25/04/2018 21:50

Maybe they are just struggling to find boys' names that they like!! I had that problem - a surplus of gorgeous girl names and no nice boy names. I did like Ben but the dog had that name...

SevenStones · 25/04/2018 21:50

I'm not raging but I wish they'd hurry up!

JustMarriedBecca · 25/04/2018 21:50

Did you see Wills attended an event today. I bet they can't decide and he stropped off. Maybe she wants to call it Gary or Kevin.

C0untDucku1a · 25/04/2018 21:50

Poor kate. People complaining that she was pressured into posing for a photo.
People complaining she hasnt responded to pressure to tell us the baby’s name.

Fgs just wait. She has just had a baby and might want to enjoy it in peace.

Think of us commoners demanding to knkw the baby’s name as a pain-in-arse mother in law

ItWillAllBeFine · 25/04/2018 21:51

I know that when it's announced I'll just think " oh ok. That's nice. Whatever".

Albert and Arthur are too hideous for words. I am hoping for Philip. The old Philip will pop his clogs soon so that would be nice and thoughtful of the Middletons and Cambridges.

Omelette233 · 25/04/2018 21:52

Oh, I know they are entitled to take as long as they need but...YANBU. I keep checking the news!!!! It took me two weeks to name my youngest so not sure why I think it should be released already but, come on peeps, we are waiting!!!

Flyingpompom · 25/04/2018 21:53

Good lord, you have no right to be raging! They don't have to tell us anything. The poor woman's just given birth, you are not their priority.

TheMonkeysAreMine · 25/04/2018 21:53

My cup of care is empty 😏

altiara · 25/04/2018 21:54

I was imagining Kate stamping her feet shouting it’s my BABY and I’m naming him Balonz, I don’t care about your stupid list, he’s a 3rd child.... fortunately hair and makeup still done from the photo shoot so she looks serious and not completely crazy.

PerfectlyDone · 25/04/2018 21:54

That's all I've got to say on the subject

ItWillAllBeFine · 25/04/2018 21:54

Oh sorry Flying. I absolutely thought I was their priority. Right you are.

redcaryellowcar · 25/04/2018 21:54

It took me over a week to decide with both my children, I'm not even titled. My motivation wasn't to irritate people more to choose a name that suited our babies and we both liked! I think the pp who said something about William huffing off was probably spot on!

MyKingdomForBrie · 25/04/2018 21:54

I’m sure you’re kidding really but this is just such a weird thing to feel. It took us a week to pick our dd’s name, why would you assume such malicious things about them?!

Also if you think they’re such twats why do you care?

Can’t believe anyone is seriously suggesting it could be Albert..

TokyoSushi · 25/04/2018 21:54

Raging, no, but wishing they'd hurry up and just tell us, hell yes!! Grin

ScreamingValenta · 25/04/2018 21:55

Whatever name they choose, we'll hear more than enough of it in the years to come, OP.
