My dad named his first son after himself, and his second son (Me) after his dad. My middle name is my maternal grandfathers's first name.

A profound lack of imagination by my parents, and also amusing because my brother got in to a lot of financial trouble which inadvertantly affected my dad on account of name confusion. That'll teach him to be so unoriginal.

My kids won't have any 'traditional' names from my family, because that would be dull. Dull dull dull. Are you listening to me, parents of Beex? Your children have dull names.


Onóra isn't dull!

I should invite on my friend Sarah. She called her first child 'Maverick'.

OK, I'll let you off. But if she starts naming all of her kids and kids kids Onóra too then, well, I'll probably be dead by then. Carry on.

I know loads of people who are named after relatives, or who have middle names that are their parents first names. My brother's middle name is my father's first name.

I, on the other hand, was not only denied a family history name, but also a middle name all together. I'm the only Kathryn ever in my (known) family history. Completely random name, with the unusual way of spelling it to boot, and no middle name even though my brother does. Go figure!

I have no middle name because my dad had to ask how to spell his middle name when signing the marriage certificate and my mum decided against them.

I can't work out if that's a justification or an alternative reason.

I think his excuse was he never used it much before. Add in some wedding nerves, probably lead him to ask. But still...

Prince Harry is probably irritated at another demotion. Must be fun to ruin your younger brother's career chances with each successive child.

Lordy, I was so worked up about the General Election I'd forgotten about the more important matter of a spare-to-the-heir.
Some pretty odd pictures in the Evening Standard.

I'd rather forgotten they'd had a second child, so a third was a bit of a surprise. I'll cope though.

William is realising he blew his chances at a decent Battleyness score by being a Search and Rescue pilot, and his Scandal by not kidnapping any Nuns before getting married or murdering his brother, so he's doubling down on the Dynasty score. Wise move.
