Why Harrison? I don't understand that one at all.

TommeeTippedOver · 08/05/2019 17:10

Oh. I'm not sure about that.

JacquesHammer · 08/05/2019 17:10

The poshest person I know, old money, titles etc is an Archie.

Not an Archibald.

It’s rather lovely and hardly modern in any event.

Chilledout11 · 08/05/2019 17:10

Absolutely love it and the nod to Harry makes it really special. Great name.

KooMoo · 08/05/2019 17:10

Fabulous none stuffy name. Suits the little one and fits right in with Meghan & Prince Harry’s personalities and bohemian lifestyle.

GruciusMalfoy · 08/05/2019 17:10

I'm surprised by Archie because it's so popular, and not at all "royal". I like Harrison, but again, surprised they went with it.

I don't think he's automatically a prince anyway, is he?

SparrowBo · 08/05/2019 17:11

Lovely. Congratulations to them. I admire them for being themselves and providing some fresh air to the royals.

KooMoo · 08/05/2019 17:11

Harrison = Harry’s Son Grin

DrVonPatak · 08/05/2019 17:12

Sounds like a law firm specialising in entertainment law Confused

pantsville · 08/05/2019 17:12

Bohemian lifestyle?!

ZippyBungleandGeorge · 08/05/2019 17:13

If they were going to go modern they could've at least considered Balonz

LaurieMarlow · 08/05/2019 17:13

I quite like it. It’s not miles off Zara’s children’s names which are also more popular and mainstream.

Marilynmansonsthermos · 08/05/2019 17:13

Good for them not choosing something dull and predictable

rotrue · 08/05/2019 17:14

Brilliant! Good on them! 😂

SongforSal · 08/05/2019 17:15

They have picked my DC's name. He's going to be in for a right ribbing at school tomorrow!

OldUnit · 08/05/2019 17:15

Oh! Balonz would have been perfect!

DeadWife · 08/05/2019 17:15

Lots of middle -class snobbery going on here with the haters. Interesting.

beanaseireann · 08/05/2019 17:15

So Charles doesn't get a (name) mention ? Or Philip ?
Interesting.

LaurieMarlow · 08/05/2019 17:15

If they were going to go modern they could've at least considered Balonz

But Balonz is an old Sussex name Grin

They still should have used it. How fitting.

DGRossetti · 08/05/2019 17:17

70 messages, the name Archie, and nobody remembers "Balamory" ?

I'm not middle class and I hate it Grin

I'm "council house and violent" myself, so not sure why it was deleted.

LaurieMarlow · 08/05/2019 17:19

Lots of middle -class snobbery going on here with the haters. Interesting.

It’s mumsnet, where if you don’t call your child George or Emily you’ve thrown away their chance to work in audit for a Big Four and have therefore ruined their life forever Grin

Not that little Archie needs to worry about a career in accountancy.
