Previous thread

Any guesses on what Meghan will wear to introduce baby Sussex? I'm guessing Givenchy as it's her go-to designer for big events.

Then again she could surprise us all and come out in a JoJo Maman Bébé breastfeeding tunic!

Lovely news and Harry looked so happy!

I wouldn’t be surprised if the name John was in there...Diana’s dad was called Johnnie Spencer, might be a lovely tribute.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 06/05/2019 18:07

I’m guessing it’s the same photographer as today as he said “see you guys in two days time”

Yubaba · 06/05/2019 18:13

Isn’t Kate’s stylists husband a royal photographer? Maybe he will take the pictures.

I had 2 home births and they list our address as the place of birth.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 06/05/2019 18:14

Given they’ve specific mentioned the Spencer side, maybe they will use John as one of the names. Diana’s father was Johnnie Spencer.

QueenOfTheAndals · 06/05/2019 18:25

@Yubaba yes, that's Chris Jackson.

And the stable behind Harry when he was speaking was for 'Sir John' - as a pp suggested, maybe it was a hint! Grin

QueenOfTheAndals · 06/05/2019 18:26

I just hope they don't decide on John as a first name - so boring and hardly unusual!

NicoAndTheNiners · 06/05/2019 18:37

I think the middle names will be Phillip Spencer

I'm sure Kirsty and Phil will be delighted. Grin

banivani · 06/05/2019 18:37

Still rooting for a solid african-american name like DeShawn, or Tyrone.

FFSeverynameisused · 06/05/2019 19:08

Tobias would be a good name for the Earl of Dumbarton

Those from the area will know why

FFSeverynameisused · 06/05/2019 19:09

or Robert....

yellowalstroemeria · 06/05/2019 19:22

John must be unusual for a baby though.

I'm not sure on it.

LoversLane · 06/05/2019 19:26

Congrats H&M!

EleanorReally · 06/05/2019 19:32

oh perhaps his first name will be Spencer?

BertrandRussell · 06/05/2019 19:32

Only 500 Johns last year.
My ds has two Johns in his friendship group. One known as Johnno, the other as Jonty. Both floppy haired posh boys.

SenecaFalls · 06/05/2019 19:37

But if he does become a prince, Prince Spencer is a bit if a mouthful.

catofaragon · 06/05/2019 19:38

Harry appeared by the stables at Windsor Castle, not at Frogmore.

I'm not a huge Meghan fan but I'm absolutely thrilled for them both and his happiness was so infectious. A new baby is always a joy.

May they all be very happy always.

No idea what they'll call him but I'm going for Spencer Philip Charles.

evilharpy · 06/05/2019 19:55

That video is just adorable. Glad it all went well. Meghan must have been fed up the last week or so.

Still hoping for Balonz.

Twisique · 06/05/2019 19:56

I am hoping for Alexander Arthur Philip Charles M-W

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 06/05/2019 19:58

Speaking of names this made me laugh!

frugalkitty · 06/05/2019 20:00

I'd like Jasper. I hope they done go too traditional boring they're far enough from the throne to get away with something more unusual.

Becles · 06/05/2019 20:03

Spencer May be ok to an American ear but I’d be amazed if it was picked as a first name for a member of the RF. They only have about 20 names to choose from and most of them are taken apart from the most obscure of Queen Victoria’s sons and grandsons ( although used in the wider RF)
Leopold, Arthur, Albert

Edmund is an old English king’s name and One of Earl Spencer’s sons

Laiste · 06/05/2019 20:13

Is it really definitely true that they have to pick from a list? Even 7th away, or whatever it is.

Laiste · 06/05/2019 20:15

Edmund is just too Black Adder isn't it? Grin
