Diana

I liked the suggestion of Dido in the chat thread - taken from Doria and Diana, but then someone pointed out that it's an anagram of Dodi, so perhaps not.

Girls: Diana, Gloria, Zoë
with middle names Rachel, Elizabeth or Diana

Boys: Fergus, Ferdinand, Oscar, Hugo
middle name Charles or Dorian

I wonder what Eugenie will call her baby?

YellowandGreenToBeSeen · 14/02/2021 22:29

How lovely for them! Happy news!

Chutneywashisname · 14/02/2021 22:30

I don't think they will follow anything traditional unless its a girl and if so I think they will pay tribute to Diana. The recent photographs announcing the pregnancy are beautiful.

FelicityStrongArrow · 14/02/2021 22:31

As someone who is not that far off living on the breadline I do get bloody sick of "royalty" talk but blankspace4 your comment is unnecessary unkind...and if any "royals" rolls eyes deserve a break it's those two.

DustyVenetian · 14/02/2021 22:32

How lovely but why break the news in the same week Eugenie announced her birth.

FelicityStrongArrow · 14/02/2021 22:32

Also, the black and white photograph of them under the tree warmed my cold heart - very lovely.

FelicityStrongArrow · 14/02/2021 22:34

No clue about Eugenie. Hopefully not Jeff.

GoryGilmore · 14/02/2021 22:36

@DustyVenetian why on earth not? Both are events to be celebrated, things that will make their loved ones happy. It’s not a competition, or an attempt to outdo each other. It’s sad that anyone would see it that way. Also, Harry’s birth was announced on the 14th February by Diana and Charles so it has probably been done today for that reason, it holds special significance to him.

GoryGilmore · 14/02/2021 22:37

Oh and my guess is Archie and Sophia.

AuntieStella · 14/02/2021 22:37

Because it's Valentine's Day, a day of celebrating love?

Eugenie's announcement was several days ago. I don't see any particular clash this time round (thank goodness)

SnottyLottie · 14/02/2021 22:38

I’m thinking outside the box here. Diana’s middle name was Frances and Doria’s is Loyce. If Harrison honours Henry/Harry maybe we can have a Francesca Joyce?

GoryGilmore · 14/02/2021 22:39

Sorry, correcting myself here, it wasn’t Harry’s birth that was announced, Diana’s pregnancy with Harry was announced on the 14th Feb according to the internet. Still significant though.

SnottyLottie · 14/02/2021 22:40

Also has anyone seen the rumours circulating in the media that Eugenie’s son has the middle name Stamp?

Chutneywashisname · 14/02/2021 22:40

I'd say they were waiting until she had the baby. It isn't their fault that Eugene has to drag it out by delaying announcing the name.

There are a lot of comments this week that Kate and William have decided to have a fourth baby too, which I find particularly odd although perhaps Kate is also pregnant and that is the press's way of saying it?

Its possible Meghan's pregnancy was going to be published by the press anyway. There was a lot of speculation in the comments of their last appearance (don't know if it was a zoom chat or not). Either way nice news for this couple.

Emmelina · 14/02/2021 22:41

I’m not expecting a classic royal name for Harry and Meghan’s baby, honestly. So I’d rule out the usual names that are jumbled up in a different order for each new kid.
Same with Eugenie I think. A more regular or maybe a little offbeat for hers! I remember her own name was considered a bit radical when she was born.

Mumdiva99 · 14/02/2021 22:48

I'm guessing Miranda or Mary, Freddie or Felix. Based on nothing more than a gut feeling!! Lol.

babbaloushka · 14/02/2021 22:53

Would be lovely to have a tribute to Diana, maybe not as explicit as the first name but they might fit it in.

DustyVenetian · 14/02/2021 22:55

Ah. I didn't know the history.

I will put my suspicious mind to bed.

Agree Sophia could be a good choice. Do we know it's a girl?

M might want something more American name wise. ?

Marcipex · 14/02/2021 22:57

Dora Frances

AuntieStella · 14/02/2021 22:58

Perhaps Artemis Philippa
