Royal Baby name making me rage

[ItWillAllBeFine]

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 imagine Pippa and Kate would go on Netmums rather than here.

I'm going for Alexander James Phillip Michael.

Maybe they let the children name their little brother and are debating what to do now or whether tree should just announce prince yoda and be done with it

I have no figs.

Just to add, Alexander won't be shortened to Alex (oh no...) -it will be Xander

They are talking Charlotte and George out of ‘prince peppa ’ - no darling , we can’t have cartoon characters ( or anything too common)

I love that there is an Olav on the list of succession. That’s my new bet

On Tuesday dd stormed into the room to say the name was announced. Thomas Edward Arthur. I was confused as to why there were so many threads speculating on the name still. It transpired that her source was a Youtube video

YADNBU OP. I'm frothing and I don't even like the royals!

I still think it’ll be Barry or Taylor

I think it should be Prince Albert, think of the future possibilities for an 18th birthday present from Uncle Gary.

I agree. I find myself checking to see if the name has been announced but really I don’t care what they call the baby.

Sorry @GreenTulips too much wine last night. No not Prince Albert

Why are people suggesting Alexander and Louis when those are George’s middle names?

Yadnbu I refreshed my news feed a ridiculous amount of times yest why haven’t they announced it yet?!

I am thinking Michael after her Dad.

I know we have a Prince Michael, but he is "Prince Michael of Kent" so this one would be "Prince Michael of Cambridge."

Of course there would be unfortunate connotations with "Princess Michael of Racist Brooch" and "That poor kid who got dangled over the balcony and is now called Blanket" but I still think it's a lovely name and we would soon only associate it with him.

(Wanted to call my DC3 Michael but DH's boss at the time was called Micheal so he vetoed it.)

I hope it's Alexander too, my 8 year old has a bet on atschool.

Agree - I really hope it's that Kate wants something common and the palace is in full PR flap, trying to track down a saint or minor royal from the Middle Ages they can claim Prince Dwayne is named after...

Come on, she's been so perfect, she should get to fuck with them for a few days...

Our local vicar refused to reveal the names of his children until they were christened at 6 weeks!

Some excellent suggestions here. By the way-to those of you holding your noses at the expression " absolute rage" it is, I understand, TM MN and therefore obligatory. My real position is more of an irritated tut.

Lol at the Royal Vage comment!!!

To the poster who suggested the kids want Peppa I'm thinking they want Mickey (mouse) or Donald (duck). But Willie's trying to persuade them that Henry after the big Green Engine is better!!

The Royal family have NEVER released the baby name quickly.

There has always been a respectful waiting time.

My kids follow the exactly the same pattern as the Cambridges - boy girl boy, with almost exactly the same age gaps.

My third is called James. He has already said that for this reason the new baby MUST be James too.

this one would be "Prince Michael of Cambridge."

Aren’t both of Michael Jackson’s sons called Prince Michael?
