Autumn Philips calls baby Savannah

[LexieB]

Savannah

Oh.

Can't say I'm overwhelmed with enthusiasm, but as we all know, we all have different tastes.

Hmm, yes, unconventional for a royal. ( that's my diplomatic response)

that is awful. however, each to their own

[minces off sniffily]

Oh dear.

That's not official yet....!

there must be more .... .the Royals usually have about 14 middle names
Not keen myself but like your diplomatic response isore

Tis fine, to be honest, not ridiculous and not a traditional royal name, I think it is a good choice, even if I would not have picked it myself.

Like what SGM?

Saw this on the other thread - is it official now, or still Eastern Daily Press as sole source?

Well... that's.... different...

Really? I've been there and it's lovely but wouldn't use it myself.

It's where they shot parts of Forrest Gump - where he was sat on a bench waiting for a bus.

Yuk - way too sleb.

Also a number of the children born into The Windsor Family in the last 10 years or so are called...
Margarita,
Davina,
Zenouska,
Columbus and
Cassius

None of those are hugely traditional....!!!

Would you expect someone called 'Autumn' to go for an old trad English name necessarily?

I don't like it at all...

Highlandgirl, I think most of those are way better than Savannah and very traditional with the exception of Davina and I've only heard of one Davina before who doesn't strike me as very...traditional

Margarita sounds tradition

Zara wasn't a traditional name though

Well I guess you have a point NewYear however since the name hasn't been confirmed yet..might be pointless commenting..!

I think it's pretty tacky, but at the end of the day it is nice they've called the baby something they wanted and not just gone for something hideous because it is "royal" (Eugenie, anyone?).

Yikes. That's the best they could do?

See here.

I think the EDP report may be based on a garble.

OMFG . DH`s daughter had her baby on boxing day ...she decided on savannah for her babys name because its unusual ....theres going to be loads of them now.

poor dd1 .

Why didn't I know there was a royal called Autumn?! Haha
