Archie Harrison Mountbatten -Windsor

[Feelbad1]

It's not like you all have not been wondering

Surely she’d have chosen the more aristocratic “Forsythe Pendleton”

But Archie is a classic good guy (and a ginger) .

Same, Wendalicious. Well that and Jayden

Nice enough names but rather...pedestrian. Sounds exactly like the little boys in DD's class at her not very posh state primary! Quite surprised.

Not my choice of names (obviously!)

I laughed out loud at Harrison. Harry's son. Is that something Americans do?

Also, although Archie is a cute name for a baby, I am less sure of it for a man. If it is short for Archibald (horrible) he won't thank them when he starts losing his hair. I can see the tabloid headlines now 'Archie, bald!'

"I’m just surprised he’s not getting the title of Prince!"

Isn't it because he's not the GS of the monarch or the child of a firstborn?

Love the name Archie

I don’t love it for myself, but they obviously do and I love that they’ve gone for such a non-royal name just because they like it.

Thank goodness - a normal name and none of the sticking to the Royal traditional names

Harrison is probably my all time least favourite name?

DW had a useless wanker boyfriend called Harrison.

There are quite a few around here! Happy they are happy though x

I know several middle aged Archies(I'm in Scotland) so it doesn't seem at all odd to me on a grown man.

"I bet there was much pearl clutching when Princess Anne named Zara... That's a shortened name too and not exactly "royal"."

I thought that the name had been suggested by Charles?

What's it short for?

If they have a girl next will they call her Edie?

Ugh - this: “Kate and William chose much nicer names.” Hate all the comparison and putting them against each other. Vile, vile. Lovely, happy couple, pleasant non-traditional names that have obviously been chosen by both Harry and Meghan - great. How lovely that they weren’t pressured into a more traditional name. I bet Zara Phillips’ name caused a bit of a stir at the time. Who cares, really? Just the usual Daily Mail readers and I bet it’ll keep them going for weeks

You can’t tell there aren’t many Scots on this thread

Archie is a fine Scottish name, and up here it’s considered pretty posh. Private schools are absolutely stuffed with little Archies wearing blazers and short trousers.

The Queen could have given him the title of Prince though.

Wonder if Meghan is a Riverdale fan?

This tweet made me laugh.

They are clearly fans of the Archers.

Cringe - it's awful.

Isn't it because he's not the GS of the monarch or the child of a firstborn?

Does that mean that when Charles becomes King, he will get a title?

Surprising choice of names.

I bet the bookies are happy.

Maybe they don't want him to gave tne title prince. Princess Anne chose not to give her children titles.

@HBStowe I was just thinking that. No way is it a 'working class' name here!

I thought it was a wind up when my DD first looked it up - insisted she check on the BBC website! It’s errrr.... down to earth, shall we say?

"If they have a girl next will they call her Edie?"

Quite possibly - or Josie
