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..."

It pisses me off when I have to wait for any baby’s name. Surely 9 months is sufficient time to come up with something?

And don’t tell me you wanted to see what suited them because we all know every newborn looks like Winston Churchill.

croprotationinthe13thcentury · 25/04/2018 22:30

The strong rumour is they are planning to break from usual protocol and have a non-previous-royal name.

Frederick is already in use, although Freddie Windsor is apparently 47th in line to the throne, so even further away than Arthur Chatto at 25.

StealthPolarBear · 25/04/2018 22:31

I feel the same op :o

QueenoftheSilverDollar12 · 25/04/2018 22:32

My bet is Prince Kyle Jordan Dean Jayden of Cambridge

Sunnymeg · 25/04/2018 22:32

I think we might have to wait a while, due to the situation with Alfie Evans. It would be terrible publicity if they announced the name on the day he passes. It would lead to a lot of negative press. There were enough comments linking the two on social media on Monday. I think the names are known and decided, they have to wait for the correct time to publish them.

ChickenVindaloo2 · 25/04/2018 22:32

Arthur makes me think of Arfur and Pauline Fowler off of Eastenders.

Muchtoomuchtodo · 25/04/2018 22:33

Posh people always take longer than us commoners (we decided straight away!)

My bet's on Philip

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 25/04/2018 22:35

I can't understand anyone giving enough of a toss about it to have the rage over such a thing.

SunwheretheFareyou · 25/04/2018 22:37

Sam then.
Sebastian.
If think Spencer would be perfect.
Laurence

Gibraltaryousay · 25/04/2018 22:37

I love Arthur Blush

ChickenVindaloo2 · 25/04/2018 22:37

I never fail to be surprised at the number of folk that need "lighthearted" spelled out for them...

croprotationinthe13thcentury · 25/04/2018 22:37

Filthy Philip has a ring to it.

Chinesecrested · 25/04/2018 22:37

Surely there are more important things to think about? They can take as long as they like. We'll hear soon enough

StealthPolarBear · 25/04/2018 22:38

Sevens tones his sister gabriella is 50th, I spotted the other day. How can that be???

ChickenVindaloo2 · 25/04/2018 22:39

Bet a lot of you who don't "get" this thread are a real laugh at a party, eh!

ScottishDiblet · 25/04/2018 22:41

I agree with @Sunnymeg

m0therofdragons · 25/04/2018 22:41

I really hope that it's because Kate's a bit hormonal and suddenly decided she likes Romeo or Buddy and William is desperately trying to talk her round Grin

MilfordFound · 25/04/2018 22:41

I'm having my baby boy on Monday and if William and Kate choose one of the names on my shortlist then I'll not use it. I keep checking the news, it's driving me mad! It's annoying me that I'm so bothered!

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 25/04/2018 22:42

Bet a lot of you who don't "get" this thread are a real laugh at a party, eh!

Confused

Is it a known fact that people who 'rage' about royal baby names are hilarious raconteurs/sparkling wits at social gatherings?

Echobelly · 25/04/2018 22:44

I can't see the excitement of it because they'll have to use one of 3 or 4 boring royal names.

SevenStones · 25/04/2018 22:44

Sam is Arthur's brother, @SunwheretheFareyou... Grin

@stealthpolarbear Maybe I'm looking at an old list? Just come across a Top 100 from 2009 with someone called Xan Windsor on it. Confused

Wdigin2this · 25/04/2018 22:45

It's irritating me to, I want to know NOW and I don't know why?? I just hope it isn't Arthur, Albert or any other old man name, James Charles Michael, is nice and would be a nod to both grandads!

TheCheekOf10Arses · 25/04/2018 22:47

Me too Chicken Arfur Fowler always had a face full of anguish (something to do with stealing the Christmas Club money or something)

Arkengarthdale · 25/04/2018 22:47

I quite like Balonz actually
