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..."

It would be nice if they included Francis somewhere. It's Kate's father's middle name ( and the Middletons haven't had a look in so far) and Frances was Diana's mother's name and her own middle name.

ValleyClouds · 26/04/2018 16:06

Francis is the Pope so I doubt it

Like Prince Philip vs Prince Philip-John or something

ManicUnicorn · 26/04/2018 16:17

Maybe they will call him an Anglo Saxon royal name, like Cedric or Harold?

AlbertaSimmons · 26/04/2018 16:39

They'll need to announce shortly otherwise little George or Charlotte is going to blurt it out at school Grin. Following a couple of royal correspondents on twitter and they're going for James.

user1485342611 · 26/04/2018 16:42

Yes, James seems to be coming up on the outside.

Bluntness100 · 26/04/2018 16:42

Weird they haven't announced yet...

TopBitchoftheWitches · 26/04/2018 16:45

Hopefully it will be James.

Cottongusset · 26/04/2018 16:46

Couldn't give a monkey's fuck what they call it. Just another useless,chinless wonder for us to bank roll.

JaneJeffer · 26/04/2018 16:57

I think they should call him Patrick. Kate always makes a lovely effort for Paddy's Day when she inspects the Irish Guards ☘

NumberFrame · 26/04/2018 16:59

I’m finding it very strange it’s not been announced yet

mummabearfoyrbabybears · 26/04/2018 17:02

They probably haven't announced it today because William being best man for Harry is today's royal news. They'll do it tomorrow I'd imagine.

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 26/04/2018 17:04

That's a good point Alberta. Starts to make it hard for G and C if there is a name in use at home that they are not to mention at school/nursery

Makes me think the delay is because there is no name rather than the peasants nit having a need to know

howthelightgetsin · 26/04/2018 17:23

What if the queen has said no to the suggested name and hence the delay??

radi8tor · 26/04/2018 17:24

I think it will be Monday.

SelkieUnderLand · 26/04/2018 17:26

I thought id finish work and then read mn comments about the name on the bus on the way home. They are really drawing it out now.

spanky2 · 26/04/2018 17:29

Cindersrella I thought Alexander too. Maybe Sacha for short.

SelkieUnderLand · 26/04/2018 17:29

James!? Kates brother and brother in law?

That would be stupid

hugetha · 26/04/2018 17:33

I’m fairly certain it was chosen long before the birth and they are indeed just enjoying the fact that people like us give enough of a toss to discuss! Dear lord don’t let it be Arthur ... cute for a dog but not a baby!

WatcherintheRye · 26/04/2018 17:35

I think it will be Monday.

Unusual choice, but it could grow on me!

TheJoyOfSox · 26/04/2018 17:36

Baby is due to be ‘officially ‘ named today.

I’m loving the idea of Alex, but possibly because my eldest and one of my grandchildren has that name.

Have you considered anger management? This really shouldn’t be causing you “rage”

winterwonderly · 26/04/2018 17:38

I've been too invested in waiting for this to be announced today. If it's not announced soon then it's not going to be today, ggrrrr. I'm currently going for Edward James Philip

TheJoyOfSox · 26/04/2018 17:38

@Watcherintherye ..... damn you, you made me p myself!

SmilingButClueless · 26/04/2018 17:38

Has anyone suggested Rollo yet? Just in case he ever gets to be King...

FizzyGreenWater · 26/04/2018 17:38

Sox I've been ripping telephone directories apart all day.

I'm furious.

ikeepaforkinmypurse · 26/04/2018 17:40

George is already Alex, I agree, I hope they go for Darren instead.
