The Baby Name Game

April 30, 2019 Blind Gossip

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] This celebrity couple is having a baby very soon and everybody is playing the name game!

We do know about one specific conversation that took place very early on in the pregnancy, before the gender of the baby was even known.

It was about the baby’s name.

Basically, the expectant parents wanted something in the name to honor his mother or his mother’s family.

[His older brother] restricted them. He did not want [their mother’s] first name used but said it was fine to use her middle or last name. [The older brother’s wife] was especially opposed to the use of the first name but she did not get directly involved in any discussion with the couple.

We’re not sure why the older brother did this. Perhaps he and his wife are planning to use his mother’s name for a future child of their own?

While everyone here is an adult and we don’t think that the expectant couple was necessarily looking for permission from the older brother, his opinion does matter a lot to them.

Or did.

Given what’s transpired in the past few months, we do not know if their original discussion many months ago will hold… or if the younger brother and his wife will thumb their nose at the older brother and do what they want.

We’ll all find out soon!

SOLVED!

Younger Brother/Wife: Harry and Meghan

Older Brother/Wife: William and Kate

The newest little royal has been named: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor!

The baby was presented and the announcement of his name was made this morning, conveniently just in time for the American morning TV shows.

Harry and Meghan did not present their baby to the public on the cold concrete stairs outside the hospital like Prince Charles and Princess Diana – and Prince William and Kate – did with their children.

No, no, no.

These beaming new parents chose to premiere their beautiful baby boy on the opulent red carpets of Windsor Castle.

We do not know about the origin of the name Archie. It is not a standard royal name and they are not saying that it is short for Archibald. If you will recall, Prince Harry’s first name is actually Henry, but he has been called Harry from the beginning.

We think that Archibald would actually have been a better fit. William bald… Harry bald… Archibald.

We jest.

Harrison is also not a traditional royal name and may be a contraction of “Harry’s son.”

Mountbatten-Windsor is the official last name for the family. Not everyone uses it.

Did you know that royals don’t actually list their last name on a driver’s license or a passport? They use their titles.

However, they can select a last name if they like. For example, Prince William’s children use the last name of Cambridge at school.

Little Archie does not have any kind of royal title as part of his name. Yet. So we’ll call him Archie Sussex for now.

Anyway, going back to a specific conversation that took place very early on in the pregnancy  – before the gender of the baby was even known – there was a discussion of using Harry’s mother’s name in some capacity. Princess Diana was born Diana Frances Spencer.

William and Kate included Diana as part of their daughter Charlotte’s name (Charlotte Elizabeth Diana) but they were apparently not keen on Harry using Diana for his baby’s first name. Harry and Meghan, for their part, were not keen on Frances for a girl or Francis for a boy. Spencer would have been cute for a boy… or very non-traditional for a girl.

As it turns out, none of Princess Diana’s three names were chosen for Harry and Meghan’s first child, although they did make a special effort to include Diana’s siblings in the birth announcement.

Nobody guessed Archie as a potential name. That is not surprising as the name is not a traditionally royal name and is also not the name of any known member of either family.

Congratulations to Meghan and Harry on their beautiful baby boy!

Welcome to the world, Archie Sussex!

    I don’t see anything wrong with them using Diana as a part of the name if the baby was a girl but not as a first name. That’s not fair to do that to a child. Their entire life would be compared to Diana’s etc. I like the way Wills and Kate included it as one of the middle names. It still honors his mom yet Charlotte has her own identity as well.

    I detest the use of nicknames, especially for males. Give them a proper first name and the nickname will soon follow. Too informal for me and the child will have to continually explain that his first name is Archibald. Why not Archer shortened to Archie for use in the family? My nickname I got as a child is only used within my family and those who don’t know are surprised. Archie will suffice as a child’s name, but when he becomes an adult it will sound juvenile. Missed the mark totally.

    Is it just me or has Meghan been pregnant FOREVER? It would be a lot on the child to name her Diana. She always wanted a daughter, & apparently loved the name Allegra. Honor her by naming her granddaughter Allegra Frances Doria. If a boy Spencer James Henry.
    Oh and William and Kate need a marriage counselor. They look miserable, and are behaving rather nastily.

    If I were in Harry and William’s shoes, I would never name my daughter Diana because of the burden of having to live up to that name. Think of all the attention that kid would get — it’s bad enough for the royal family, but what if there was a new little Princess Diana? I’ve always thought that Edward and his wife were SMART for refusing to give them prince/princess titles. Nobody’s paying attention to them! In fact, I heard that their daughter didn’t even realize that her grandma was…

  5. BitterBlondin says

    May 2, 2019 at 8:19 am

    So they’re having a girl then? “before the gender of the baby was even known.”

    If so they will probably go with Frances, or something completely unexpected and non-traditional name.

  6. rhiannon14 says

    May 1, 2019 at 7:54 pm

    People forget that Diana wasn’t exactly popular with the Royal Family. Exposing the future King of England as an adulturer didn’t exactly put her in the Queen’s good graces. Charles having a granddaughter named Diana would be super awkward. Honestly, don’t give the kid that moniker. It’s fraught with all kind’s of baggage. Choose it as a middle name. But let them have their own identity. No royal child should be Diana II.

    Harry, Meaghan, William and Kate.

    My thoughts on this is William and Kate used Diana as a middle name for Charlotte. Charlotte is in line for the throne. I can understand William and Kate vetoing Diana. What’s the big deal of using Di’s middle or last name? They were still her name! If I was them I wouldn’t want to use it as a first name. There’s just too much history and big shoes to fill. Not to mention, the media would probably latch on constantly just get pics and post about Princess Di.

  9. taysaunders says

    I hope they name it Alexander or Alice. If a nod to Diana, I think Frances/ Francis would work.

    Harry & Meghan

    William & Kate

    My mom died when I was 22, I decided not to name my daughter after her because of the grief it triggered.

    Boy: Will definitely have Charles in the traditional 4 names. It would be kinda cool if they used Francis instead of Frances.

    Girl: Harry should be able to name his child after his own mom if he wants to but sheesh, the baggage! Frances is dated and I don’t think the Brits get into the last-name-as-first-name like us Yanks so Spencer wouldn’t…

    If William and/or Kate want Diana’s name for themselves, fine. Name it after Diana’s parents, Harry’s grandparents

    Obviously Harry and Meghan and Kate and William.
    I don’t think they want H/M to use Diana as it’s one of Charlotte’s names. Also what a burden for a little girl to bear. The people’s princess and all.

    I hope they name a little girl Francesca and a boy Spencer.

    Couple: Harry & Meghan
    Older brother and wife: William & Kate

    Boy’s name: Spencer and girl’s name: Diana

    It’s obvious Meghan’s mission is to have a daughter called Princess Diana.

    William is right to intervene. I don’t think he and Kate will want to use that name for their future child because they could have used Diana as the first name for Charlotte but chose not to for a reason. It’s a lot of history and misery.

    Harry and Meghan, Will and Kate.

    I don’t think they should name the baby Diana. If they do, that child will grow up constantly being compared to a dead woman. I think that is why William was opposed, and he already used his mother’s name for his daughter’s middle name anyway.

    Honestly, I don’t even care what they name the baby or what it is. I am so tired of hearing about Harry and his wife. I wish People magazine would go a whole month without them on the cover.

    Sparkles et al.

    If it’s a boy, “Spencer” would be a good middle name. If it’s a girl, “Frances” would be a good middle name. I’m not sure how William gets to have a say in this, but I guess he is the future King of England.

    The Cambridges and the Sussexes.

    Princess Charlotte already has Diana as her middle name.

    On the Royal family website, the pages Prince James, Arthur and Alexander have all been reserved. So it will be a boy with one of those names!

    If the Harry and Meghan. I would hope that if the baby is a girl that they wouldn’t name her Diana. That would be an awful shadow to have to live up to for the rest of that child’s life. Also, they keep claiming they want privacy and. ‘Normal’ life for their child, but that would be one of the worst things they could do.

    The Sussex child
    Will is already acting like a tyrant to Harry. The BRF recycles names from Victoria’s children and their descendants.
    He doesn’t want him to use Diana since it’s Charlotte’s third name. And actually, yes he does need approval before announcing the name. Charles, the Queen, Prince Philip probably and now William. I would hate that but that’s all part of it.
    I think if it’s a girl and they will name her Alice Elizabeth Frances

    Clearly this is the Sussexes and the Cambridges.
    They’re fully allowed to name the baby whatever they want regardless of the DoC’s approval or disapproval. I’m sure William must have advised them because of the inevitable media outcry and the comparison to Diana that will follow, which is a lot of pressure to put on a baby. Charlotte’s middle name is Diana, which is a good way to honour their mother without keeping her dead and centre.

    Obviously the former “fab four” of the BRF and the name is “Diana,” of course. Meghan’s a real schemer and she wants to be the next Diana. This is the woman who dropped the news that she’s pregnant at Beatrice’s wedding. I think they plan to set themselves up as “the people’s king and queen” in Africa to rival and thumb their noses as William and Kate. They are poison that’s for sure.

      Can’t name the kid Diana & make her a paparazzi target while insisting on “privacy as a family,” refusing immediate announcement & photo op, & no official baby merchandise.
      Princess Di was 20 & made a choice to marry a future king. She didn’t deserve the press hounding & stalking, but she also fed it.
      A baby can’t choose to spend her entire life being a target & constantly compared to a dead icon. Frances/Spencer, or Diana as middle name–Charlotte Elizabeth Diana still has privacy.

    Good lord, William and Kate are quite villainous themselves. Between the affair that no one is supposed to talk about, the Duke and Duchess sure are controlling. My entire opinion is changed on them, but their kids are cute as can be though.

    Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan can name their child whatever the heck they want (I like Doria Diana). Considering that Will and Kate sucked up to Prince Charles, the Queen, AND Diana when naming their daughter, it’s highly likely there will be some overlap in names.

    The Royal family obvs.

    I’m actually sympathetic with W&K on this issue. Harry probably views it as a sweet gesture. But from the family’s point of view, using Diana’s name is purely a PR stunt (given what we know about MM) and Will probably didn’t want her memory being used like that.

    I don’t think William wants to use it for his children, I think he is smarter than Harry and realizes that if they do have a girl and name it after Diana that kid would not have a moment of peace. She would face a lifetime of comparison to her grandmother and unwanted attention because of the name and that’s not fair.

      the more I think about this, the more I like my answer. Both sons should have a daughter with Diana as a middle name. It stays equal, both pay homage to their mother and neither child is marked for a life of comparison to the princess.

    I think it would be awful to name the baby Diana, it carries a lot of weight. Also since it’s princess Charlotte’s third(?) name they already beat Harry to it. Frances or Spencer would be good as second/third/nth names for the baby.

    The royals of course. Can’t go without the weekly update.

    If it’s a boy, Marcus or Spencer. If it’s a girl Dayanna or Francine. I say it doesn’t matter if Will/Kate don’t like the idea because it’s not their kid. My brother and his wife wanted to name one of their girls after my mother but my cousin (whom she helped raise) beat them to the name years before they had planned on expanding their family. It’s just a name.

      He did already. Her name is Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.
      I don’t see why both brothers can’t use their mother’s name as tribute. Both of Maurice Gibbs’ kids had children after he died and they both used Maurice as a middle name. (I’m a huge Bee Gees fan.)

      One sibling shouldn’t get to dictate over the other about naming their own kid.

    • princessavenger says

      May 1, 2019 at 10:56 am

      If William’s objection is using “Diana” as a middle name, he shouldn’t as he’s already done it & royal kids all have 2 middle names.
      “Diana” as a first name would put a target on the poor kid’s back. Harry & William both want their kids to live as normally as possible & constantly being compared to Diana as her mother Meghan & aunt Kate are, & Fergie & Princess Anne were, doesn’t let adult women be seen as unique individuals let alone a kid.

    • MademoiselleRose says

      May 1, 2019 at 10:04 pm

      Good Lord, what is wrong with the people here? The Queen and William as future king both have a say in the names. Saying “he doesn’t have a right” is clearly wrong. Harry is part of the royal family and he does have to acquiesce to some things, and Meghan better get used to it. She wants the perks and none of the responsibility. I’m sick of her.

    Isn’t Will and Kate restricted regarding baby names? Because they are close to succession, they must choose from a royal baby name list. Because Harry is way down on the list, maybe they will choose something unconventional or “common”

  121. annabelle77 says

    Absolutely Harry and meghan thumbing their noses at William and Kate, and considering naming their baby Diana. I could absolutely see Meghan doing this as a middle finger to everybody; she loves to do F u gestures. This is why people can’t stand her. I could also see her giving this poor child a Kardashian/tacky Hollywood “unique” artsy name in a bid for attention. I shudder to think of it. It definitely won’t be a classy English name. Again, that middle finger gesture. You watch.

    • amagod121 says

      Diana was Harry’s mother. If he wants to name his daughter Diana then he’s allowed to. Doesn’t need to justify it no matter what people think of his wife. Certainly doesn’t need his brother’s permission.

    • reen57 says

      For all we know they will name their son Spencer.
      I think that they want Charlotte to be the only “Diana” name in the family.
      At 37 going on 38, I doubt the DoC will be having any more children. She as much said so a while back. She grew up with 2 siblings, so I think she is through. She has a rough first months with all of her children, and if she had another one, it would probably be the same.

    • NYCBunny says

      They’re really not. HMTQ has the final say in the child’s name. Fergie wanted to call her firstborn Annabelle and was vetoed, hence we have Princess Beatrice.

    • jj the great says

      My goodness i’d somehow never heard about the Annabelle/Beatrice thing. Wow. Can you imagine? Regardless of what you think of the name Annabelle, imagine you had your heart set on a name and they were like, “No- but the consolation prize is that you can call her BEATRICE.” literally the ugliest name there is. That’s the name you come up with when you’re writing like, “What should I name the annoying overweight girl that smells & everyone hates?” (Jk jk but you see what I mean haha)

    • spookie says

      May 1, 2019 at 9:24 pm

      I agree that William and Kate probably didn’t want them using “Diana”, which is Charlotte’s middle name.

      Since they won’t be heirs to the throne I think they can maybe go a little off the beaten track while still not veering into “common” names (in the class sense). I heard Allegra was an option.

      Let’s go for Hugo and Thalia. Why not?
