Archie Harrison Mountbatten- Windsor!!

[UKSWF]

That name wasn't one the bookies list!

[DTCwordfan]

why not Prince Boris or Prince Shane, Troy or Liam?

[spathiphyllum]

That would be interesting

[andres]

jno--Archie Andrews was on ITV in 1958. And I don't care if his lips moved or not.

[retrocop]

I thought Spenser would be a good choice. Popular male name in Coca Cola Land so would be popular for her Royal Duchesness and also Diana Spenser.

I can imagine HRH the Duke of Edinburgh's reaction when he was told.
"Good Gawd. They've named him after a bloody dummy"

[pixie374]

Never heard of Archie Andrews, but the name Archie is quite popular at the moment.

[anneasquith]

I read * somewhere * today, he will be known as Master Archie. Lol

[Eleena]

Archie, no.

[pixie374]

That is his title, as with most male babies.

[anneasquith]

I know pixie thanks for stating the obvious. Master Archie , I just found amusing .

[pixie374]

You're welcome :-)

[ichkeria]

Why does his name being Archie mean he can’t have a title?

Brilliant name btw :-)

[pixie374]

Is it your name, ich? :-). It doesn't, just not HRH.

//That name wasn't one the bookies list!//
Neither were Beatrice or Eugenie but somehow don't think the parents pay much attention to what the bookies say - or anyone on here for that matter. Welcome to the world Archie, lovely name.

[Calicogirl]

He's their baby, they should be free to call him what they like- and they have done. Happy he's here safe x

[DTCwordfan]

There was an HRH called Duchess Meghan
Thought to be the progeny of Ronnie Reagan
The Sussex 'She' had a son called Archie
All part of the bleeding royal polyarchy
Truth be told, it happens to be all a bit too pagan.

[ichkeria]

My name isn’t Archie Pixie :-)
But at the link it says that “BY naming their son Archie whatsadiddle they have chosen not to give him a title.” So unless it’s just badly worded I don’t see how the name means he can’t be the Earl of wherever. Maybe it’s actually the surname that matters. This sort of thing is not really my field!

[Peter Pedant]

if the child is to be christened
doesnt there have to be a you know saints name somewhere?

or will the arch B of C or his minion Dean of Windsor just say - yes ma'am whatever ma'am commands ....

[Peter Pedant]

there is an order in council knocking about somewhere from 1962 that says any royle in need of a surname
should take Mountbatten Windsor

not many have tho

[ichkeria]

Hi PP
That makes me wonder if there’s a commoner somewhere called Archie Bishop of Canterbury ...
Presumably in Canterbury

[Cloverjo]

PP//if the child is to be christened

No. My son was christened, and as far as I’m aware there are no saints that share either of his names.
