Help[Opinions] Re: The Queen’s great grand children
in reply to a message by Fiammetta
They are fascinating! A lot of American influence; Savannah and Sienna are far from the traditional name lists, as are Isla, Mia and Lena. It's hard to classify Lilibet ... and Lena is a surprise but could be a nod to names like Eleanor and Helena. Lucky I'm not royal - I don't like any of them.
The boys are more restrained; Archie is very traditionally Scottish, but I'd have preferred Archibald, nn Archie. George and Louis (Mountbatten presumably) couldn't be more mainstream. Lucas is mid-Atlantic, and better than Luke.

I’ve noticed that the ones whose chances of ever reigning are well, rather slim, have been given less classic and trendier/more informal names.
Lilibet has already been discussed at length when she was born but I always found it odd she’d be given her great grandmother ‘s childhood nickname as a full name.

Harry and Meghan choosing Lilibet rather than Elizabeth always struck me as a very "Hollywood" style thing. Lilibet is a very movie star celebrity baby name.
