You realise the month was named after the emperor, not the other way round?

In common usage in the UK, the word "August" is a month.
Augustus is a name.

I don't like names of months or seasons for children.
It's like the fashion for Autumn or Summer.

I'm not a fan of Autumn or Summer as names but do like August, Winter and June as names.

The fact that August Brooksbank was not born in August makes me feel a bit itchy. (I’m a mathematician - in my world things are Right or Wrong.)

My children already have proper Christian names which have been used by royals.
Their names don’t embarrass them, don’t put them in an age bracket, aren’t spelt in a ridiculous way and will take them anywhere.
An I judgey about names? You better believe it! A lot of eye rolling goes on here.

Same here, DC has ageless classic Christian English name, spelled traditionally. Already used by royals - and not only them.

I like all royal names except for Andrew (because he's a cunt) and maybe Zara (because of the shop). If I had a girl I'd call her Ann. Or Elizabeth, or Catherine.

Another boy - probs Henry. or Charlie.

Which is the complete opposite to me. I'd be itchy if he WAS born in August. 😂

I find these names overused and boring
I do like Harry's kids names though, lillibet ( Lilly) and Archie though I wouldn't use them
Arabella is nice - I think Beatrice was going to use this name but was told no by the queen unless I'm wrong

@MargoLeadbetterisQueen
Beatrice’s elder daughter is Sienna - I think Sienne is a typo

It was, thank you

Louis

Calliopespa · 07/08/2026 01:50

Harold or Edward

Beatrice or Elizabeth

Am I the only one who feels some of the last generation of royal names - Lena, August, Sienna, Mia etc - don't really count as royal names? Most of the others are stitched into the fabric of the past in a way these last round of names are not.

Do you feel better now?

I'm curious as to what these names are that are expressly Christian (so not linked to the old testament or any other religion), are routinely used by the royals and which will take their children places!! Not their children's hard work etc., just their names!!

Right? Where can I get one of these names? It will fix all of my problems.

I don't like the name Archie, maybe because it's overused. Lily is nice, they should have called her that, rather than the twee Lilibet, although I know why they did.

I agree.
Perhaps that was the month he was conceived.

Yes, I wonder if it's because those parents eg the Tindalls are only royal adjacent? Their children will have no official royal role.

@deeahgwitch and @Mumoftwoteenagers I 100% agree. I also met a child called May who was not born in May…
