Royal Baby name making me rage

588 replies

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..."

I've just the baby names topic for recent posts on boys names.

Kate (she name changes a lot!Wink) likes Bruno, Jude, Rex or Jordan.

Perfectly I just knew that was the image you were linking to.

ChickenVindaloo2 · 25/04/2018 22:04

YANBU.

I kept clicking "refresh" on Monday to see if she had him.
Now I keep clicking "refresh" to find out the name.
FFS.

They could at least say "baby boy has been born, we will announce name at noon on Friday" or whatever, so we can get on with life meantime.

ChikiTIKI · 25/04/2018 22:04

Yeah I assumed it was because of ANZAC day too. They will announce it tomorrow I bet.

MyotherUsernameisaPun · 25/04/2018 22:05

Only on MN do you get threads complaining that anybody cares at all about the baby and other threads were people feel actual rage at not knowing the name!

I don't blame them, to be honest. The British public seems to feel a weird sense of ownership over the royal children and that must be hard for Kate and Wills to deal with. I don't blame them for making the most of these first few precious days with their son before they share details about him with the world. It's just like any new parent who takes a few days before sharing baby names and pictures on social media etc.

biscuitraider · 25/04/2018 22:05

I'm hoping they call it Graham or Tony.

ChickenVindaloo2 · 25/04/2018 22:05

Imagine Kate on here:
AIBU to want to be "just us" for at least 8 years before showing precious baby to the world and the grandparents? Even tho great GMIL is technically the Queen?

ItWillAllBeFine · 25/04/2018 22:07

I really hope Kate is on here. Hello Kate !

I think he'll be called James 😊

ChickenVindaloo2 · 25/04/2018 22:07

We're only asking for a gender, a name and a few measly pictures! We're not asking for a nibble of the placenta ffs and a homevideo of him crowing out the royal vadge.

Give us the crumbs from your royal table, Kate and Wills! Love, your humble and devoted servant.

Melamin · 25/04/2018 22:09

I like Graham. It is growing on me.

Albert reminds me of Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom and young Albert, their son.

AthenaAshton · 25/04/2018 22:10

That is the best thing I have seen in a long while @perfectlydone

NC4Now · 25/04/2018 22:10

Lolling at Kate on baby names board. Grin

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 25/04/2018 22:10

Prince Colin has a certain je ne sais quoi.

But they will probably go for something safe as James, Charles or Alexander. Because of those ended up well and happy...

ChickenVindaloo2 · 25/04/2018 22:10

His Royal Highness, Prince Balonz of Cambridge.

A definite possibility.

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 25/04/2018 22:10

The British public seems to feel a weird sense of ownership over the royal children and that must be hard for Kate and Wills to deal with

I'm trying to redress that balance by really not giving them a moment's thought beyond hoping they're well and happy like any other children. Grin

I couldn't care less when they 'announce the name.' It's not on my radar at all! It'll be one of the names that everyone's expecting, and that's it really, isn't it?

Mrsmadevans · 25/04/2018 22:11

I keep telling you all Hmm
Charles Edward Francis and they will call him Teddy .

Talith · 25/04/2018 22:12

YANBU just call him Daniel and let's all move on.

Bluntness100 · 25/04/2018 22:13

I don't think he can be a Prince Albert,,,for obvious reasons..😳

Sammysquiz · 25/04/2018 22:13

I think he'll be called James

I think they’d not choose James because that’s the name of Edward’s son. Though I suppose there’s not a huge pool of Royal-sounding male names, so duplication is inevitable Grin

ProperLavs · 25/04/2018 22:13

I can't believe that they wouldn't have decided on names way before the birth anyway.

KurriKurri · 25/04/2018 22:13

Maybe Oliver to keep the republicans onside.

Oowatchasay · 25/04/2018 22:13

I think it's because Charles hasn't met him yet.

newyearwhoohoo · 25/04/2018 22:14

Stayathomegardener
HRH Prince Winston of Cambridge would be awesome!

ChickenVindaloo2 · 25/04/2018 22:15

He could maybe be just "Prince".
In tribute to, er, Prince.
