Will the new prince have an American name like, Chuck. Or will be English like, Henry. :lol: :lol: :lol:
What is your guess. Mrs Bouquet
-
I think Alexander James would be nice. Traditional but not boring ;)
-
A British name would be my bet.
-
Wayne, Tyler
-
As it was born at daybreak how about dawn. Rhymes with yawn . . . :dry:
-
Do you think they'll let us vote for it ? I can see Baby McBabyFace being a clear winner. :tongue2:
-
and going slightly of thread, I never thought she was going to have a home birth. Just a bit more drama and hype. - Ethelred, Norman ? . Mrs Bouquet :D
-
I think it should be left entirely up to the parents (they'll be lucky) as after all the child is theirs.
My son and daughter-in-law had twins in December 2018... My wife and I wondered what they would choose for names - we managed to keep quiet ;)
Delighted with the choices - maybe not what we expected but who can predict. Best of luck to all new parents - not an easy choice the results of which a child has to live with for a very long time ::)

I loved the name 'Nylon' - New York and London - but there is a website which is devoted to 'Gary', so all bets are off..;0)

Darren

Nylon... or the other way round Lonny :lol:
-
He's probably destined to lose his hair just like his father, uncles, grandfather and great-grandfather, so they might as well call him Gary and hope he's as popular as his Italian namesake in the 19th century. :unsure: ;)
-
My money is on "Johnny"
I reckon they will name him after the famous songwriter who wrote a song about Harry's Grandma back in the 70s!
-
Personally I couldn't care less. They will choose some sort of modern name along with more traditional ones and good for them.
-

Ahh but if they do we’ll have to have endless media interruptions for the next 3 years about it & then they’ll not let us have what we voted for.....sorry which thread is this ? 😂😂😂

It's Archie! Who remembers "Educating Archie" on the old 1950s radio?
-
My grandfather's name was Archibald.
Named because his builder father was building arched doorways when he was born. (You couldn't make it up :lol:)
-
I'm sorry but I don't like it. I don't care if Meghan and Harry are 'modern' they are part of our heritage and should have stayed with a 'traditional' name. Has it been announced yet if he will have a Royal title?
-
No royal title as present.
-
No he hasn't but with a surname of mountbatten Windsor there ain't gonna be any mistake about him having royal blood. And yes, all the home birth rubbish was just a smokescreen to fool everyone. Didn't want plebs hanging around the hospital. Leaves a bit of a nasty taste knowing they have taken their fans for a ride. It's cheating. I know, I know I'm a curmudgeon. Sorry I will now zip it . . . ;) :dry:

Love it, Auntie!
I'l tell Mrs Growster right now!
Hilarious!
-
Personally, I think if she hadn't gone overdue, so probably needing to be induced, she would have had a home birth. It makes me laugh to think that at her age she's already labelled an older mother :D
The baby is so far down the pecking order that I don't think he needs a title or a royal-sounding name tbh. Good luck to him :)

It's going to be the same whatever, Ruby!
Just bless places like here, where we can all just enjoy the 'pub' sort of chat and laugh when it suits us!
You're not a carmudgeon, most of us are with you, but the red-top papers just drool over things like this; they'll soon get bored!
I really couldn't care a monkey's, I have a life with Mrs Growster, and lots of chums in my village, and of course here, online. This is much more important than some sort of tot produced well out of my interest!
-
Archie Harrison - very nice. Mrs Bouquet
-
Grossly over-hyped IMO. In the end, they are just people, and people start families all the time. I sometimes think that there are a lot of people who have very empty dull lives, so feel the need to live an alternative one through someone else.
-
I'm rather pleased they decided to name their first born after me :wacko:
al78 - I don't think I'd like to live in the public eye and not be able to go out without armed security. Not as if any of the royal family had any choice about their parents. And just think - who would you rather have as head of state, The Queen or President Trump?
-
Hmm Having called my children Frederick and Coral back in the swinging sixties and been thoroughly disliked by the boy for the unfashionable name for 11 years till he realised he'd never be mistaken for anyone else so stopped wanting in changed and the girl for always getting called Carol (ongoing as she comes up to 50) I'm no person to comment on what people call their children. Let the children ask their parents to change it as and when - as if royals would get away with that. :lol:
-
Giving your children names which are either obscure, or just daft, imprisons them into a lifetime of having to 'explain' their name every time they are introduced to, or meet someone new.
You don't need to worry about that with lovely names like 'Jane', or 'Mary', or 'Tony', so why saddle kids with the need to make amends for the name they've been given at birth, while most children just like to start a discussion with something less boring!
Several chums here know me as 'Michael', so that's saved me several gasps of wonderment in telling every new girlfriend that I was 'TonesbesurasstenceMctoniii-Du'Wayne', spelt differently in pidgin Swahili!
I despair...

Didn't you stand in the elections for the Silly Party? :)

He is Prince Archie as his dad is a Prince. Only the Queen can make Megan a Princess.
-
It's really bad of me but I keep thinking of Educating Archie! Doesn't matter, by next year there will be thousands of Archies :) Real surprise choice though.. do you think one of Harry's mates placed a big bet for him :) 1000:1 odds ain't a bad payout.
Important thing is mother and baby are doing well - and all the best to them.

"It's really bad of me but I keep thinking of Educating Archie!"
Yup, the only ventriloquist act on the radio..:0(
At least Sooty would whisper in Harry Corbett's ear; Peter Brough probably just had one of those microphones the size of a wheelbarrow, dangling from the roof of the studio!

The baby has no title.

He'll have few choice ones if he gets colic! Just not ones you could print :)

Archie has been a popular name for a good few years already, well in & around Hinckley at least 😊
-
He is Prince Archie as his dad is a Prince
I don't think he is automatically a prince as great-grandchildren don't automatically get the title, or even to be called HRH. He'd have to wait until Charles became king, I think.
He can use Earl of Dunbarton from his father's title but he was announced as Master by his parents.
So I think like Princess Anne, Harry & Meghan have chosen not to have titles for their children. Such a sensible decision IMO - he can do as he wants in the future, unlike his father :(
-
It might have been a very nice gesture, and gone a long way to mending bridges if they had included Thomas somewhere at the end of chosen names. Mrs B
-
Of course, if he follows the thinking behind the title of 'Fomerly known as Prince', he could have the name tweaked to 'Futuristically possibly known as Prince', just in case the rules change!
I bet he won't be as good a guitarist though...

oh my goodness, I thought she already was. And what will she now do with her right hand. It had a life of its own didn't it. .

The baby will be entitled to be an HRH or a prince when the Prince of Wales accedes to the throne. But the Sussexes could decide that Archie will not use the title prince, just like the Wessexes did. A royal source said the couple had chosen not to give him a courtesy title “at this time”

Thank you so much Mum! I thought that one was for The World Service! (And isn't a 'hyperlink' something you give to young kids to keep 'em quiet)?
:0)

yes I remember listening educating Archie on the radio when I was a boy didn't think it was quite as good when it went on TV if I remember Archie's Dad was Peter B?
I also think any new born Babe is a prince or princess to any proud parent all be royal or not I know we where when our four kids where born
