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..."

They'd hate it if nobody was in the least bit interested. All this feigned stuff about privacy when it suits them and forelock tugging from plebs. It's awful.

Come on Kate if you're reading this. Announce the name at 5:50pm, just in time to make the news headlines, must be fun to know you're going to make the news!

AlReef · 26/04/2018 17:42

Please don't let it be Alexander!!! My DS is Alexander and I don't want the name to become overused 🙈 I've never been so eager to find out a royal baby name before!!

Viviennemary
You are spot on.

Oh well, long live Prince Darren Arthur Brian May Louis of Cambridge Grin

FizzyGreenWater · 26/04/2018 17:45

Wow James would really send the message that Kate's side don't really 'count' - that's her brother and her brother in law, but hey no-one's going to get confused with THEM Grin

I think HMaj has said NON to Otis Sebastian

Leontine · 26/04/2018 17:48

Maybe they've had a last minute change of heart?

Dalamane · 26/04/2018 17:49

Teddy or Bear?

DaveTheDesigner · 26/04/2018 17:52

I'm not ant-royals by any stretch but I could not care less. Makes no difference to anyone so why give a toss. Ridiculous to be 'raging'.

radi8tor · 26/04/2018 17:53

My mum thinks they are testing Meg's ability to keep a secret... 🤣

Viviennemary · 26/04/2018 17:53

I don't actually mind William and Kate as people. It's just the whole royalty concept and the bowing and the fussing that gets on my nerves. And the way everything they do is soooooo important to us all.

I bet George tells his friends at school - or the parents are saying to their children ' become friends with George, the one who has the nanny and the security guard and see what he knows' ! kids love telling tales on each other.

It's a big decision. Think we took six weeks to register no 1. No 3 had his names before he arrived because I couldn't bear all the discussion and his older siblings thinking he really would be Rapunzel. No 4 we were back to the endless discussions until jail seemed a likely outcome. They're doing fine!

ikeepaforkinmypurse · 26/04/2018 18:00

They should call him Donald

Donald Michael Francis Albert

MacavityTheDentistsCat · 26/04/2018 18:00

I'm hoping for Edmund. It has a little history as a royal name and, well, I just really like it Grin

nannygoat50 · 26/04/2018 18:01

Seriously get a life . It will be a short list of what they can have so it won’t be too much of a suprise

nannykatherine · 26/04/2018 18:03

why can't he be called Albert

mynameismrbloom · 26/04/2018 18:04

nannykatherine Google "Prince Albert"

ALongHardWinter · 26/04/2018 18:04

OP I thought exactly the same when I realised that it was highly unlikely that the name would he announced today. I thought the same when someone on the radio news said 'As with their two previous children,the Duke and Duchess chose not to find out the sex of their third child'. Every time I heard this said during any of her pregnancies,I thought 'Yeah,right,sure you haven't. You just don't want us commoners knowing. You want to SURPRISE us!'.

happytobemrsg · 26/04/2018 18:10

I am ridiculously invested in finding out the name. My guess is Alexander

Mary19 · 26/04/2018 18:11

Wasn’t Prince Arthur Babars cousin in the children’s books?

peachdribble · 26/04/2018 18:11

Haven’t they legally got 6 weeks to decide...? 😜

willynillypie · 26/04/2018 18:13

George's was announced at 18.19 or something SO WE CAN STILL HAVE HOPE

NapQueen · 26/04/2018 18:16

I reckon they are waiting til those closest have met him. Presumably H&M have as they live in Not Cot. Has the Queen and Philip been yet? Has Charles and Camilla?
