Jokes and other funny remarks welcome...
I note that the baby girl's name is the same as the that of Bill and Hillary's granddaughter.
I picked Maria Conchita!
At this point I care little. I am sad for the UK and their capitulations to be sucked into eurabia. Glad I got to see it before it all really went south big time.
No real American should care. I wish William and Kate and George and Charlotte the best of luck, just as I would wish any family the best of luck upon the birth of a child. But no true American recognizes royalty as anything other than the scam which it is.
There was an earlier Princess Charlotte, the only legitimate child of the future King George IV. She was born in 1796 and died in 1817 shortly after giving birth to a stillborn son. Her husband was later King Leopold I of the Belgians.

Their name choices are limited. The firstname especially needs royal connection. No Apple, Oprah or Demi. In that sense Charlotte makes alot of sense. I would’ve preferred Alexandra for firstname. No surpises re the other names Elizabeth & Diana.
Almost certainly Charlotte is named after the wife of George III, after which Charlotte NC must also be named, since it is in Mecklenburg County and she was the daughter of the Duke (I think he was a duke) of Mecklenburg.
Elizabeth is of course from great-grandmother, and Diana from grandmother.
FWIW, I thought she would be named Victoria Elizabeth, and Mrs. Chajin thought she would be Elizabeth Diana, so I guess the Mrs. gets the closest-to-the-right-name prize.
And no, it doesn’t really matter, any more than the Lightning beating the Canadiens twice in Montreal matters, but both provide a break from reality, which is no fun for most of us at the moment.
Beautiful name! I’m glad “Diana” is in there.

I did read that the ‘Charlotte’ is for Prince Charles, the feminine for Charles. So, named after both paternal grandparents and GiGi Queen Elizabeth. I like the name and wish her a joyous life.
America’s Royal Grand-daughter is named Charlotte also!
Charlotte is the feminine of Charles. It is also Pipa’s middle name, Kate’s sister. The choice makes perfect sense. I think they chose very thoughtfully and wisely.
It’s a classy name. I get it that the royal family is primarily figurehead, but they’re there whether we approve or not. At least Kate and William seem to have it together and most likely will raise some decent kids.

Charlotte does not mean “petite and feminine.” It’s the feminine form of Carl, “man,” specifically, a male of low birth. Of course, there have been plenty of kings named Carl and Charles and Karl and Carlos, and queens named Caroline or Carlotta or Charlotte but still...
It’s a pretty name, and I like the sound, but the meaning is what it is.
I love the traditional names.
I like to look at such threads to see how many people post that They Do Not Care even though they obviously cared enough to post how They Do Not Care. In that way, this thread didn't disappoint.
My main interest here, though, isn't in reading protests from people who care so little about a subject that they take the time and effort to write a post. It's not even in royalty. My main interest is in names. My special weakness isn't dreaming about names for nonexistent children; it's reading about what I consider bad baby names. I also read threads here about names in general. We rarely seem to get these discussions, though, when we don't have famous babies or new popes.
What do I think of "Charlotte Elizabeth Diana"? Although I might've done a few things differently, this name is unlikely to appear on my Bad Baby Name list.
