The picture of the Duke of E., the Queen, Doria and the parents with Archie is a wonderful picture.

The Queen truly looks smitten.

Omg What a super cute pic

Black twitter not happy with the name, lol.

STUPID NAME

Significantly lowers my impression of their combined IQ’s

The End

I'm glad their IQ's allowed them to think outside the box.

Any royal can do Phillip, Charles, Albert, and all the rest.

Welcome to the world, sweet Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor!

Oh my. I guess the critics are out already. You can't please everyone (especially on social media). I'm sure they are okay with the kickback and chose they name that they loved for their wee one.

Archie is an okay nick name. I just wished they had chosen a more mature sounding name for when the baby grows up. I just don't get it.

 

[LaborDayRN]

Would the baby have already been given a formal title, or can that be done later?

I wondered about this. At the christening perhaps?

Mumsnet also mainly unimpressed

I think I'm swayed against it as there are 2 or 3 Archies at our school, and in my opinion it does not sound so great with a Leeds accent!

Rugby player name, traveler’s name, or a bookie’s name. The kid who gets picked on in class’s name.

As my mother would say “ It’s a very COMMON name”
In the UK, “common” is the vernacular for low-class, vulgar.

Once Charles becomes King it will be a given

But now a beautiful little royal boys name

Twitter Reacts to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Naming Their Royal Baby Archie

 

[Elley Mae]

Archie is the shortened version of Archibald, meaning "bold" or "brave", while Harrison means "son of Henry" or "son of Harry".

Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor: What the royal baby's name means


It has also been revealed that contrary to original beliefs, Archie will not be given a royal title, with the parents opting simply for "Master".

The Harrison part I understand. Many fellows in the US have Harrison as a first name and go by Harry.

I cannot come to grips with 'Archie'. For some reason it reminds me of names like 'Gomer', 'Goober'. Their baby and their choice. For some reason and I don't know why, they did not ask me for name recommendations, go figure.

I always hate when a baby is named a little kid's type of name. Give the baby a mature sounding name that they can grow older with - Nick names are fine for younger folks.

Off my name rant now.

Ooo_o ...Harry's a big sports fan??

FOOTBALL!

Wasn't Jughead played by someone who was in Gomer Pyle? LOL.

He isn't going to be titled. He'll be Master Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

My co-worker said the same thing. Archie sounds like a child's name, not a grown man.

I don't know why they didn't ask me for my opinion, I was waiting for their call!

Parents have likely turned down a title for him. It allows him to start a business, be his own man as an adult and have a 'normal' life. He is so far down the line, very small chance that he'd ever be on the throne so no need to put him in a guilded cage with rules and regs. He can still get into Eton.
