So it's been announced:

Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor

I still think that Rodney or Dwayne would have been better.

PS Isn't Archie just short for Archibald?

[scrumpyjack]

Is Harrison in honour of Harrison Ford, or because Archie is Harri's son?

Probably a George Harrison fan and Wodehouse's 'The indiscretions of Archie'? Mountbatten for obvious reasons and Windsor because it's better than Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and also the name of a soup.

PS If you're a fan of Jeeves and Wooster, you should read 'The indiscretions of Archie'. Very funny and I'm sure that Wodehouse based Wooster on Archie.

Nothing wrong with a patronymic in the names. Ask any Russian or Icelander.

Heh. Do you think they're trying to revive patronymics here? Will the feminists allow it without it becoming at least Harrimegson, or preferably Megharison?

Icelanders can take it from either parent. I think that originated with single mothers; don't know to what extent it still is.

They may have not taken up my suggestion to name the newborn Arthur, after Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington who gave Johnny Foreigner a good slapping, but Archie is fine: after the archers at Agincourt who gave Johnny Foreigner ... etc

I like the idea of calling him Prince, so when he becomes a prince in later life he'd be Prince Prince.

Or Prince2 - he could work in project management if the Royal stuff dries up

Or 'The Royal formally known as Prince2'? He could eventually sign his name with a suitable glyph.
