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 never announce for 2-3 days after.

mynameismrbloom · 25/04/2018 21:55

I think William probably didn't want the news to overshadow the Westminster Abbey service today. He would have been mobbed and it wasn't about him

I expect they will announce it tomorrow.

honeybeetheoneandonly · 25/04/2018 21:55

I reckon Kate wants to name him Dwayne but Lizzie isn't having any of it.

AuntLydia · 25/04/2018 21:55

What the..? Seriously? Its actually making you rage? And not just you, a load of other people. I just can't wrap my head round that at all. Madness!!

TokyoSushi · 25/04/2018 21:56

Ah yes that's true, maybe it'll be tomorrow! Taps fingers

cindersrella · 25/04/2018 21:56

Dwayne 😂😂

ItWillAllBeFine · 25/04/2018 21:56

Yes Kingdom. Calm down. I am indeed kidding

My husband, straight faced told me they'd called him Leroy. Read it on Facebook and believed it 😆

gabsdot · 25/04/2018 21:57

Kate's father's name is Michael. Maybe they'll use that.
Albert or Authur are both awful imo. Total old men names.

cindersrella · 25/04/2018 21:57

I hope it's Alexander

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 25/04/2018 21:57

I have a strange low-level irritation for no reason whatsoever. I don't care at all... but on some level I must care because I keep checking?! What is wrong with me?!? Please don't answer that question...

OlennasWimple · 25/04/2018 21:58

Maybe Kate is holding out to name him after Uncle Gary Wink

Maybe they only had girls names picked and are still flicking through the baby name book trying to decide

Maybe there's some bad news about to come out and they're waiting to announce the name in order to hide the bad stuff

NorbertTheDragon · 25/04/2018 21:58

Every baby name thread for a boy on here for the past few days I imagine is Kate. Grin

PerfectlyDone · 25/04/2018 21:58

Lenny! Grin

C0untDucku1a · 25/04/2018 21:58

Francis. Or alexander.

stayathomegardener · 25/04/2018 21:58

I dreamt they called him Winston, how weird is that.

TimesNewRoman · 25/04/2018 21:59

YANBU

They're as bad as some of these Instamums

.. runs for cover

Mammyloveswine · 25/04/2018 21:59

I love Albert!

Im also irrationally invested in this! Hurry up!!!!

ArsenalsPlayingAtHome · 25/04/2018 22:00

Just enjoying the idea that Kate is checking into mn in between feeds! I'm all for a republic myself, but love to imagine her posting on the baby name thread...."Can I ask you opinions on the name Philip?"

Imagine the barrage ....something along the lines of...Hell no! Why on earth would you call your baby that? It conjures up unfortunate images of the prize knob that is Prince Phillip!"

Aragog · 25/04/2018 22:02

Sure I read somewhere that it would be a couple for days til it is announced.

I assume they are just enjoying a couple of days of just them enjoying their baby, and keeping the name private for 48 hours or so gives them chance to be 'just them.' Don't blame them.

Cary2012 · 25/04/2018 22:02

I think Dale should be on the list.
You have to be in it to win it Wink

CocoaGin · 25/04/2018 22:02

I think it is probably etiquette that The Queen meets baby first, and she approves the name.

You're just a bit further down the list. Soz. Grin

Sprinklesinmyelbow · 25/04/2018 22:02

Didn’t it take about 5 days with Charlotte? It’s not new. Just expect it

Sammysquiz · 25/04/2018 22:03

I love Albert!

There is no way on earth they’re going to call him Prince Albert! Wills & Kate surely would know the connotation Grin

EastMidsMummy · 25/04/2018 22:04

Honestly, who gives a shit? I didn’t even know she was pregnant until a few days ago.
