Royal Baby name making me rage

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..."

People actually care about this stuff??

and her own parents will see virtually nothing of them?

How do you know how much Kate’s parents see of the children? Are you their Nanny?

Times have changed hugely SerenDippitty.

EventNotInData · 27/04/2018 13:43

She seems like an intelligent woman. I’m sure that she realises that moving to marry a bloke living in a different continent and taking up a job working with him means that any children you have will see more of his parents than yours.

ajandjjmum · 27/04/2018 13:46

Who's on a different continent?!!

ajandjjmum · 27/04/2018 13:47

Sorry - realised you were referring to Meghan Event.

Battleax · 27/04/2018 13:47

Meghan is now.

Earthakitty · 27/04/2018 13:50

Itwillallbefine...... you're so right !

alphajuliet123 · 27/04/2018 13:55

They wouldn't use James because everyone would say it was after Hewitt and all that bollocks would be dragged up again.

I think Louis is cute - George, Lottie & Louis. Better then Prince Albert!!

alphajuliet123 · 27/04/2018 14:03

^ Sorry, getting my princes mixed up.... Harry could never name a child James.

Oh goodness! how creepy!

The80sweregreat · 27/04/2018 15:09

i like it, nice name. at last the poor baby one. now William has to get up to the register place - although i bet they tend to come to him maybe?
that picture is creepy.

LastGirlOnTheLeft My husband is named Ben after a sheepdog that was on one man and his dog the year he was born

liquidrevolution · 27/04/2018 15:41

Charles was already honoured by 'Charlotte', does he need to be included again?

Ahem. Charlotte is Pippas middle name.

AnneWiddecombesHandbag · 27/04/2018 16:08

Also Charlotte's middle name Elizabeth is also Kate and Carole's middle name.

Cuppaoftea · 27/04/2018 16:14

Love the name, traditional but with a modern feel.

Louis goes nicely with George and Charlotte too.

SelkieUnderLand · 27/04/2018 18:01

Oh thank god it's not albert. that would just have been so embarrassing for everybody trying to pretend they weren't thinking what they were thinking.

SelkieUnderLand · 27/04/2018 18:11

Love Louis but agree they really should have put Michael in there after her father. It's not like her father was called Darren

The80sweregreat · 27/04/2018 18:13

Wished that Kate’s Dad had a weird name! Louis ‘moonunit’ Charles ‘ that would be funny

TittyFahLaEtcetera · 27/04/2018 18:25

Pleased about Louis with the connection to Lord Mountbatten, whom Charles and Philip were very close to, and pleased I called it. Should have had a flutter!

dustyparadeground · 27/04/2018 18:46

Should have been Wayne. Wayne Windsor.

Cindie943811A · 27/04/2018 21:31

I reckon Louis was Kate’s choice. Presented with such a limited number of names to choose from, she wanted Louis rather than Arthur or Albert!
William said they were looking at a “strong “ name which names like George, Arthur, William etc are. Louis is nice enough but I wouldn’t call it strong — is more of a soft name etymologically, with all those vowel sounds. So maybe the delay was due to this differenceof opinion

NapQueen · 27/04/2018 21:39

I suspect she wanted Louis for ds1 however was overruled for something more regal with him being the heir. Used Louis as a mn as she loved it so much.

Ds2 being born and way down the order she then went "right, Im having it regardless".

Thebirthdayparty · 27/04/2018 21:40

I reckon it was Kate’s preference too.
