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..."

George Alexander Louis for the 1st one

and Alexander Louis George for the 3rd?

They can do better than that, surely!

Well betting has closed at William Hill now if that means anything???

DemoKritic · 26/04/2018 19:13

mynameismrbloom · 26/04/2018 19:16

www.royal.uk/prince-albert-0 goes to Prince Albert's page

SmilingButClueless · 26/04/2018 19:18

Franz would be a great name!

HairyToity · 26/04/2018 19:22

I like Edmund

It occurs to me that Carole or Pippa Middleton if in the know could make an awful lot of money at the bookies!!! (Not that they need it of course). I feel just like the op, but am disgusted with myself. Why do I care so much I have become OBSESSED with checking the news constantly?

If I were them I would deliberately choose a completely different name to those the bookies favour.
I have a feeling it will be Philip. Why not Spencer though? It's a lovely Christian name for a boy.

cherrytrees123 · 26/04/2018 19:25

Also I think the delay is because the Queen hasn't met the baby yet. George and Charlotte's names were announced two days after the birth. I think the Queen needs to approve and probably see the baby first. I don't think Charles ever visits KP.

Hushhush89 · 26/04/2018 19:25

Why does everyone go on about it like it's there business??

OMG she's had another baby let's all get excited..for the next few months we can't talk about anything but this...

So what if you don't know the name... knowing the name isn't going to change anything for you...

Battleax · 26/04/2018 19:32

The delay and the large late bets are far more interesting than the name TBH.

flyingspaghettimonster · 26/04/2018 19:34

It took me the full month after our firstborn arrived to agree a name and register her. She was called Biscuits until then. Even outside the door of the registry office we had to flip a coin to make the decision. Maybe they picked a name and the baby doesn't match it - or maybe they just can't decide. I think it's great to give a name time to settle before announcing it - I regret one of my kids names and wish we had thought a bit longer before making it official.

HeedMove · 26/04/2018 19:35

I genuinely have no interest in the royals at all but I’m wanting to know now too just so everyone can move on. Maybe they aren’t 100% sure yet maybe she wants to just call him tequila and is crying over the fact it has to be Arthur, Edward etc

TIVI · 26/04/2018 19:35

why is it so important to you? Princess Anne waited until the last minute before announcing names . Leave them to enjoy the time to decide and take up knitting?

ValleyClouds · 26/04/2018 19:37

Why not Spencer?

Because Kate's sister has a dim witted reality star bil of that name

Because Earl Spencer's speech did SERIOUS damage to his relationship with his nephews who were upset by it

BrendasUmbrella · 26/04/2018 19:38

Maybe they had a last minute change of heart?

Natsku · 26/04/2018 19:42

I hope they wait ages, more amusing that way. The Finnish President's wife recently had a baby and they didn't name him until he was 2 months old - I'd like to see them beat that record.

mynameismrbloom · 26/04/2018 19:55

As more people than usual may be refreshing the Kensington Palace Twtiter page, perhaps they are taking advantage and pushing the charities!

MCamp10 · 26/04/2018 20:03

Really? Who cares? Personally I’m not the slightest bit interested in how, where, or what they name their baby. It doesn’t affect my life, my sleep, my thoughts........in short, I couldn’t give a flying f*!

LarkDescending · 26/04/2018 20:04

William has said today that they are “working on” a name:

ikeepaforkinmypurse · 26/04/2018 20:04

How can you not name a human being for 2 months! I already don't get people who don't have a name at the birth, but when you do know, why the need for secrecy?

I predict a new trend of people holding big "reveal parties" to announce the name of their offsprings, with the Middleton creating a new party range and gift lists just for that. Baby showers are so yesterday, we need more money-grabbing events

TheOnlyLivingMumInNewCross · 26/04/2018 20:04

It's going to be Keith.

ManicUnicorn · 26/04/2018 20:05

I once googled 'Prince Albert' as in Queen Victoria's husband, and was greeted by an array of pierced dick pictures. It was an eye opener for sure. I do like Albert though, and he could be called Bertie for short, which is of course what the Queens's father was known a

mynameismrbloom · 26/04/2018 20:07

MCamp10 But you and the others who have put similar comments have come on here and bothered to post lol! You read the title, you clicked, you thought of a sweary reply, you wasted precious seconds of your life telling the world you don't care lol!

Why?! It's the actions of a fool!

The80sweregreat · 26/04/2018 20:11

Edmund ( Eddie)
Harvey or Tristan.

TitsalinaBumSquash · 26/04/2018 20:13

Seriously, Kate is nursing a chuff that looks and feels like a boiled cabbage, I doubt she gives a shiny one about announcing names, however, I want to know as well and I'll shed a wee tear if he's called Henry after P-Haz. Grin
