Archie Harrison Mountbatten -Windsor

[Feelbad1]

It's not like you all have not been wondering

holy moley, common names or what

There was a Blind Gossip article a few weeks ago about a posh relative stopping another relative from using a certain baby name. We all thought it was Will and Kate stopping Harry and Meghan from using the name Diana. Clearly if it's really George's nickname then they might have been objecting to Archie but they went and used it anyway. Drama!

The name Archie has mediaeval and aristocratic roots. Look it up.

What is Zara a diminutive of?

I can just see the Americans pissing themselves right now over threads like this, and no doubt what will surface in The Fail, all the class angst.

It's embarrassing.

It's cute. Nothing wrong with the name at all. They have chosen what they have chosen.

I think that Prince George told a woman in the park ( or somewhere) he was called Archie . I read this somewhere a while back and it made me wonder if it was a ' code name' or something? Or just an over active imagination! They do have nicknames for the royals.

It was on the news. She came across George whilst she was out walking and spoke to him not realizing who he was. She asked his name and he said Archie. It was just about then she realized who he actually was. His protection officers seemed happy enough to let him have the same kind of exchange other kids have with people.

"There's loads of Archie's up here- it's pretty posh ( you won't find any in your sink estates)"

FWIW I don't think this matters at all, but Archie is definitely not a posh name. I would categorise it with Alfie and Charlie etc.

I’m more delighted that not only is it a cute name, there’s a certain poster on here who will be aghast, AGHAST at how “common” it is and not fitting for a “blood prince”

Magic

Well I love it so nerrr😀

It’s a shit name. Poor little sod.

It doesn’t even go together.

Jaques

why have they specified the Mountbatten-Windsor bit

I think it is lovely! Archie won’t be on the throne and even is he was, he could use a different moniker. If you are going to pick on ‘common’ names used for royals, far worse is Savannah!

*Archie Harrison??? Sounds like the naughtiest boy in the class.i

^ this.

From my pov Archie lives in a Scottish castle and is an inventor

why have they specified the Mountbatten-Windsor bit

Because they could have chosen for him to go by "Sussex".

I don't get this 'it's a nickname' business. It's a name in its own right. Thousands have it.

I like it. It's a sweet name.

I know a few Archies. They are all what I would consider 'posh'. Not that that means much as I'm working class so probably not judging it correctly.

It shouldn't matter though. The parents like it. They seem very happy and bother the mother and baby look well. That's what's important.

I thought this thread was a joke too - awful name. Sorry but it sounds really common, especially Harrison.

I knew a few Diane's ( not Diana 's though ) When lady Di first came on the scene in the early 1980s they thought they were 'posh ' as it sounded similar! (A step up from a east end council estate! )
My dad used to call my friend ' lady Di' she found it funny!
What's in a name eh?

Archie sounds a bit American too. I'm sure it'll suit him.

Both not bother

Archie is definitely not a posh name

It is in Scotland. Well, according to Monarch of the Glen (showing my age a little bit).

Have they specified Mountbatten-Windsor to underline the fact that he will not be titled?

Harrison Ford must be quite chuffed!
