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..."

Actually, they could go for Malcolm or Norman to placate the Scots........

Why would Norman placate the Scots?

And why do we need to be placated?

Yay to Malcolm though!

And we will never know whether Kate is on this thread! She may well be checking out suggestions made by MNetters.
Not sure she'll go for some of the ideas but I hope she chooses soon. I have a £20 bet on Leopold (Leo) after one of Queen Victoria's sons.
I think Leo is great. Hope Kate does too!
Go for Leopold!

SusanWalker · 26/04/2018 14:12

I think we should have a prince Victor.

MrsSchadenfreude · 26/04/2018 14:30

Leo would be good. Isn’t Tony Blair’s son Leo though? Not thatI think it matters. Or am I getting confused with Lionel? Grin

Norman was a name used by the McClouds of Skye.

And it's always a good idea to placate the Scots. Just in case..........

Purringkittenmama · 26/04/2018 14:33

Humperdinck?

heidipi · 26/04/2018 14:42

They're still arguing about Gary, Garry or Garrry.

Donald? Bet the new fella has tiny little hands...

BarbaraofSevillle · 26/04/2018 14:47

Lots of men in the public eye have passed away already this year. Naming the baby Prince Dale (Winton) Stephen (Hawkings) Ken (Dodd) would be a lovely tribute to them.

Norman was a name used by the McClouds of Skye

Ah, so you want to placate a tiny branch of the MacLeods rather than all the Scots then. We seriously don't need to be placated, thanks. Smile

Still yay for Malcolm though! Or should that be 'Aye'...

Pebble21uk · 26/04/2018 14:50

The long wait is all a ploy by Kensington Palace to up their number of Twitter followers.

FizzyGreenWater · 26/04/2018 14:51

Could you imagine if it ended up being Ragnar.

George, Charlotte... and RAGNAR! RAAAAAARGH!!!

haha

MrPottergaveDobbyaSock · 26/04/2018 14:51

My guesses:

Obediah
Jock
Cornelius
Willard
Elmer.

Battleax · 26/04/2018 15:13

There has always been a respectful waiting time.

Grin

“Respectful waiting time”? It’s a birth not a death.

TheKimJongUnofFeminism · 26/04/2018 15:17

"We seriously don't need to be placated, thanks."

You've said that before.......

biscuitraider · 26/04/2018 15:22

But really, why is any remotely bothered?

Oysterbabe · 26/04/2018 15:22

No she can't have Leo, that's my 4 month old's name. She can have Rudy, that was on our list.

biscuitraider · 26/04/2018 15:23

*anyone

Purringkittenmama · 26/04/2018 15:25

Oyster
Rudy is fab too.
But Leo wins me £1,320!
Your four month old needs to share!

SunwheretheFareyou · 26/04/2018 15:36

Ebenezer 😂😂

ForalltheSaints · 26/04/2018 15:41

Let them take their time. A name is with you for life, as Gideon Osborne will no doubtless wish wasn't.

ValleyClouds · 26/04/2018 15:56

The more the wait drags on the more I'm convinced that they've named him after Prince Philip and the wait is about finding a way to differentiate the two because although one would be D of Ed and the other Prince of Cam they would both start HRH the Prince Philip, and very unfortunate mistakes could occur.

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 26/04/2018 15:57

I dont think it will be announced until next week post meeting the Queen and Charles

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 26/04/2018 15:58

Like what valley? Philip Cambridge gets Philip Edinburgh's credit card bill?

The Queen and Queen Mother were both called Elizabeth and they managed to crown the right one at the right time.

The80sweregreat · 26/04/2018 15:59

Gideon - can you imagine if they name the poor thing that moniker? i think they are pretty sensible and it will be something solid and fairly boring.
