I'm not surprised, choosing that name was so brazen

Haha

If the RF have jumped the shark it’ll be the first time the priority order has changed.

Some have beat them to it … 🌱

Thank you . I should have thought to Google that myself. I do apologise for getting you to go to the trouble of checking for me. I will aim to do better.😄

The only thing you need to be to in the line of succession is to be born so you get what you're given.

Hang on- two posters said they trademarked the name?

Give me a sec....

It gives them a chance to show their incredible wit of getting their m and f muddled up though.

😂

Not really. They are arguing that parents have a right to call their kid whatever they like. Whether it is a lovely tribute or a fugly nickname.
The ridiculous hyperbole about it being the ' angriest The Queen had ever been', angrier than when she found out her son had let two paedophiles have their pictures taken on Thrones in Buckingham Palace? Or that one of the richest women in the world actually said, as Head of state of a country where 150,000 children are homeless, that she had nothing but her childhood nickname? As if.

Gosh I read that as a filthy documentary maker. I must get to Specsavers.

I should think so too. Imagine getting me to run around for you doing such exhausting errands!

I used that, I meant bought the website! Used the wrong word. No idea if the name itself is trademarked.

He's that as well.

Many people call their children a different, diminutive name day to day, to be more informal. "Thomas, Tom/Tommy", "Henry/Harry", "James/Jamie/Jim", "William/Will/Willy/Bill"

Maybe they recognised that Lilibet was particularly special to the queen and while they wanted to pay that tribute to her, they knew it wouldn't be "seemly" to call her the exact name day in, day out.

@AliceOlive

For you. 😉

I’m not sure what time you are though!

Exactly my point

I don't know what the last sentence means.

How can you trademark a name?!

Holy shit you read my mind. I was just contemplating posting that same sentiment.

@ArcaneWireless with the most awesome of all gifs.

aaha yes- as far as i can see various domain names were registered. Can't find a trademark itself - yet.

Domain names... I can kind of see the reasoning. Especially when they are so media-minded focused.

I am now going down yet another internet rabbit hole!

You can trademark a name if it’s distinctive enough.

I’ll translate if you like 🤣

Nobody owns a name, but whether it's Harry and Meghan or some random stranger on Mumsnet, I think there's something a bit attention or conflict seeking for someone to take a rarely used nickname from a relative (whose family you claim you need to be free from because of toxic drama) and then use it for your child.

I'll be looking to see what's being buried though. Usually when a non-story about Harry and Meghan is published it's a distraction technique.

Yes I'm sure in her almost 100 years of living, this is the angriest she's ever been Who waste their time on this crap, seriously

no - people have to google.

If that was the case, you don't think she would have explained that to Harry?

“We’re estranged from our in-laws but planning on naming DD after a highly personal nickname of Nanna’s (whose life we’ve made a living hell) that only 4 people were ever close enough to use, 3 are now dead and 0 are us, oh we’ve already trademarked the name and had commemorative teacosies printed” would be a YABU

exactly, @EncantoSpice Well said.
