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..."

I keep refreshing news sites to see if it's been announced. I don't know why I care so much, I'm not even in the UK.

redshoeblueshoe · 25/04/2018 22:53

I don't think the Queen liked the name Prince Idris Of Elba. So they are having a rethink

firstnamecraplastnamebag · 25/04/2018 22:54

I'm DYING for him to be Prince Albert! 😂

SevenStones · 25/04/2018 22:55

I don't even really care what he's called, really. Can't understand my interest!!! Grin I suppose I'm glad they've had more than what had become the standard 2. Kind of hoping she can't stop and has another one...

Was just thinking, what with Pippa being pregnant, Harry and Eugenie getting married this year and probably having their first kiddies with their spouses in 2019, we are set for a few years of births and growing families from the Royal quarter.

Ffs you seriously need help.

SunwheretheFareyou · 25/04/2018 22:59

Why on earth do people keep saying James. Why James of all names, her brother is James, Ed son is James.. Why?

Wdigin2this · 25/04/2018 22:59

I think that as they will eventually become the Prince & Princess of Wales, they could at least throw in a couple of Welsh names... Prince Gareth Ioan Glyndwr of Wales, has a nice ring to it!

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

😂😂

StealthPolarBear · 25/04/2018 23:01

No seven stones that is right I spotted both the other day. He is 47. His sister is 50.theu have no other siblings I don't think. So surely they should be consecutive

SevenStones · 25/04/2018 23:02

Has he got two children? They will shift his sister down a bit?

fadingfast · 25/04/2018 23:03

We were at a jolly naice National Trust place when they announced Charlotte's name and a random woman came over to where we were sitting just to bellow at me that her daughter had exactly the same two
first names as Charlotte. She was beyond thrilled about it. Complete loon.

StealthPolarBear · 25/04/2018 23:03

Of course. I actually realised that as I posted my message. I've been tired recently :o

SevenStones · 25/04/2018 23:04

Yes he does, Isabella and Maud. I read the other day that Maud is in George's class at nursery...

StealthPolarBear · 25/04/2018 23:04

I started off reading about her and she doesn't have children so I think I just decided he was the same... Even though I then went on to learn he did have children

SevenStones · 25/04/2018 23:05

Oh, he's married to Claudia Winkleman's half sister!

LaurieFairyCake · 25/04/2018 23:08

His name will be Arthur Philip Henry

sunnyjune · 25/04/2018 23:08

@Sammysquiz

They called Charlotte 'Charlotte Elizabeth Diana' after Charles Spencer, Diana's brother, Williams uncle, called his daughter 'Charlotte Diana' 2 years previous!!!

I love the name Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, but how odd!

I know they aren't mega mega close but they do see each other fairly regularly!

RubyFlint · 25/04/2018 23:09

Ha ha I told 8 yr old DD they had named him Prince Balonz. She rolled her eyes at the time, though she has since asked me a few times to repeat the name for her Grin

How about Prince Vince

No preamble? Fabulous 😂

Nope. No preamble whatsoever. We just sat there, stunned into silence and completely unable to think of anything to say, so I found myself bellowing back 'HOW LOVELY' Grin

Exhaustedpidgeon · 25/04/2018 23:16

My vote is on Louis or Albert

gluteustothemaximus · 25/04/2018 23:21

Is there a thread in baby names saying I can’t decide between Philip or Arthur? And I’m under pressure to decide, and husbands fucked off out for the day Grin

ferntwist · 25/04/2018 23:24

I agree completely. They’ll have chosen the names ages ago. It’s so obvious they’re trying to play the news agenda to release it on a day when they don’t think anything else much is scheduled.

RubyFlint · 25/04/2018 23:24

I like Louis. And it goes well with George and Charlotte.

Oliver works well too.
