Kind of interesting that Eugenie and Jack have not yet

faeriemoon — Tue, 16 Feb 2021 20:59:05 GMT

released the name of their son. I've read that his middle name will likely be "Stamp"; a Brooksbank family name, but no tidbits yet on the first name.

Yes, I realize many don't care, but I enjoy following the news on the royal babies.

I think odds are still on Arthur, but apparently Philip has moved up the list. Patiently waiting...

It seems like they (all royals) want to create their own drama - about everything.

Perhaps they're waiting for the child's christening? But I don't know when that will be. In the meantime, they should call him "Postage."

They may be waiting for the Queen to give her approval of the name.

@faeriemoon. It's quite possible that Her Majesty may have requested waiting as there has been a lot about the Royals in the news in recent days. The baby boy has probably already been named and Her Majesty has approved. The grandparents are said to be over the moon. The rest of us will know when the parents decide to share.

The news of the birth may have been overshadowed by the other announcements made by the other Royal couple. Just my opinion; but, I'm wondering about the name too.

The family history about "Stamp":

Stamp Brooksbank was born in 1694 in London. He passed away on May 24th, 1756.

He's an ancestor of Eugenie's husband and it's his middle name. From an online article:

The 32-year-old groom was christened Jack Stamp Brooksbank by his parents George and Nicola, who of course will be attending tomorrow’s much-acclaimed wedding of their son and the Queen’s granddaughter in Windsor.

The name Stamp has been passed through the Brooksbank family having started in the 1600s when Mr Brooksbank’s ancestor, Stamp Brooksbank, was given the unusual name.

He was born in 1694 and was the Governor of the Bank of England and became a successful businessman too – having traded with Turkey and becoming a member of the New England Company in 1726.

From Wikipedia: Traditionally, a name is not announced until the Queen meets the newborn.

And given he was just born 7 days ago.....

I think they are the opposite of Eugenie's cousin, you know who I mean.

Personally I like the name Rubber. I think Rubbie would be a cute nickname.

Has anyone seen a pic of the little guy? I have only seen his little baby hand.

Eugenie, Jack and baby likely have to quarantine (after leaving the hospital) before meeting the Queen and Prince Philip.

I believe Britain is having another Covid spike and under third lockdown.

I didn't know that they were required to notify the public the name of their child.

@Anonymous032819 And I haven't seen where anyone stated that's a requirement.

@50Mickey There wasn't a pandemic then.🙄

@Pearlee . What does that have to do with naming this child. The Queen attended the wedding of princess Beatrice and the Queen has had her Covid 19 vaccine. She could have been introduced to this child at least from a distance.

@50Mickey

Eugenie is under NO obligation to notify the presses or you on the name of her child.

She will release the name when she wants to, and not when you demand it.
