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..."

The number of posters who clicked on a thread about something they have NO interest in at all in order to tell us that they are amused that we clicked on this thread to post guesses and chat, well.... it's ''amusing" to quote an amused poster.

SelkieUnderLand · 26/04/2018 20:14

It's going to be

Richie or Freddie

runningoutofjuice · 26/04/2018 20:21

I'm not normally interested but I did a sweepstake at school yesterday with yr2s. Today I checked my phone at every break to see if the 'results' had been announced. Come on Cambridges! The prize is only a sweet from a box of Heroes so another day and the children will have lost interest Grin

TheOnlyLivingMumInNewCross - I was going to plump for Keith too. Infact I may just refer to him as that from here on in.

Sorry W&K, you snooze, you lose. Prince Keith Barry Wayne it is.

Could not care less if I tried.
I pity the poor sod for the privelaged yet doctrined life set out before him. Forever will he be in his older brothers shadow.
Look at Charles brothers, Edward and Andrew. God it must be such a bore to follow Royal protocol until you die and yet have no powers as such.

mumoy · 26/04/2018 20:34

Sorry until I saw this post I had actually forgotten she had had another baby - not really my thing!
No doubt they will come up with a name when they are good and ready.

LarkDescending · 26/04/2018 20:39

I must carve out some time to post on all the threads I have no interest in (tropical fish, gardening, anything to do with the Kardashians).

OliviaStabler · 26/04/2018 20:44

It's going to be Richie or Freddie

Please Freddie! He'll grow up thinking he was named after the awesome Freddie Mercury Grin

mynameismrbloom · 26/04/2018 20:46

LarkDescending I'll join you! There's some gaming threads I have no interest in that I might put a few posts on!

I wonder if they will keep putting it off while us plebs go crazy wondering what it is, to take the light off Meghan and Harry, leaving them free to do their preparations for the upcoming wedding in peace.

Flossie4 · 26/04/2018 21:20

I'd put my money on Philip, Michael, Nicholas or Louis.
I'd decided on four names I really liked just before giving birth to my first baby. When I held her for the first time, only one of them was right for her. Strange, isn't it how a baby has to suit it's name?

Flossie4 · 26/04/2018 21:22

Or Richard. That's a royal name.

HundredsAndThousandsOfThem · 26/04/2018 21:23

I wonder what odds I'd get on Nigel.

Hereiam1980 · 26/04/2018 21:28

Are you being serious?? Maybe they haven’t decided... who apart from immeadiate family really cares that much!

buttercup54321 · 26/04/2018 21:36

Prince Matthew
Prince Stephen
Prince David
Prince James
But PLEASE NOT Albert!!!!

BewareOfDragons · 26/04/2018 21:36

Who cares. It will probably be something stodgy and hideous like Albert. Poor kid.

SevenStones · 26/04/2018 21:51

Tropical fish, eh? Sounds very boring. I think I'll go over there and tell them how tedious I think it is........

Or maybe not.

EventNotInData · 26/04/2018 22:09

You should definitely do that Seven. I’m sure they’d be really impressed by how much cooler you were than them, as demonstrated by your being bored by their tedious discussions.

Passenger42 · 26/04/2018 23:00

I couldn't decide and so waited ages to register the birth, the baby has the name for a lifetime so the parents are entitled to mull it over. I am sure Kate will pick a good name and not what the bookies predict!

UserV · 26/04/2018 23:04

God I hope it's not Prince Albert! Sad

That's a knob piercing FFS!

SevenStones · 26/04/2018 23:06

(Actually, I have nothing against tropical fish...)

SevenStones · 26/04/2018 23:08

the baby has the name for a lifetime

I hated mine so much I changed it by Deed Poll in the end, but I doubt that option's going to be open to Prince Leopold/Christian/Victor/Arthur/Edmund!

"Can't call him Zac or Leo"

They could in fact go for Leo short for Leopold as there is precedence (one of Victoria's sons )
