The world is still processing Prince Harry and Meghan's bold decision to name their first child Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. The newest royal bears no traditional given name, like his cousins George and Louis. Archie isn't even short for Archibald, a really old-school name. His formal, official given name is just ... Archie.In America, at least, the name Archie conjures images of red-headed high-schoolers, football stars and irascible, bigoted old New Yorkers.

Is actually Archibald but they are going with archie for the public. 😉
The next royal baby must therefore be named “Jughead.”
May be short for Archer
Why does anyone care what someone else names their kid GET A LIFE
It starts to be that from now.
Poor kid.
There is no meaning for “Archie” since it is a nickname
Who cares
Who cares
Better then naming him Meathead!
I'm surprised she didn't name him after her father, they are so close!
I had a great grandfather named Archie. I love it.
Snobs
OH WOW THEY BOTH COMIC BOOK GEEK GEEKS
Ok, first thing you need to get that baby is a prison jumpsuit, because we all know that's where he is going.
Yup! ?
Archer would be better suited
This is my boy, Archie. He passed last year. He saved my life. I think that is a fine name for a Royal Baby. Maybe don’t use Archie Bunker bc he was a racist pos.
I just don’t understand, how is it anybody’s damn business what they name their child. Did anyone ever did the same to any journalists sound the world? No.
It's amazing that so many people have so much time to waste as to even care about this. Feed the poor at a homeless shelter? Nah... y'all gotta spend time contemplating the baby name of a figurehead...
And I hope he does get the chance to do all that kinda stufff.
They like it and that’s all that matters!!
When i hear the name, it also reminds me of the cartoon
Bold decision? Good lord. Do you have ANY real news people left on the payroll?
Well, it's short for Archibald, which has been used by Scottish nobility for centuries.
Harry does look like Archie from the comics 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why is it a bold decision to give your kid a stupid name?
How dare you all question Meghan!!! She is a strong women of color and should never be questioned!!! Now her husband you can question...
I ADDED THAT BEFORE GOLF
Yep, I'm owed compensation for the pain and suffering I've endured as a result of their decision.
Ill take Griffin
yesterday you wanted to know how black the baby will be....today you make fun of his name. What’s up with this?
Still should've named him Lebron Thames
MY Archie ... is very pleased ...‼️
Can't wait for Lord Jughead to be birthed. Archie
BS. What’s a royal name?
Nothing beats Gemmill
CNN?!? That doesn't sound like a news name
Seriously. They couldn’t even just name the chap Archibald?
Why...it ain't theirs.
Honestly I'd like to know the names of all the kids whose parents work at CNN. How many of them are old school names that the PARENTS LOVE. Really how unprofessional of CNN.
An Ole Miss Rebel?
'really Edith? Did they really' quote Archie Bunker
I immediately thought of the comic book charcter when I heard the name Archie
i GUESS LEROY WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER
This is the first time in awhile I actually like something CNN put on tweeter
The world is processing this? How ridiculous, CNN. It’s a great name.
I have not given it a second thought.
Is Blue Ivy any better?
Short for Archibald, Archer, Arch. Seems relatively standard fare.
Archie is a royal name. As in the Archie Duke Franz Ferdinand of Austria.
I prefer it to be something else that unites us and England ... like “Iraq war” (mission a complisned) god bless London a good country before heir Omar (Kahn) ruined it g🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
beats 'Reince'
lord lucan
They named him a nickname?
Archie...Duke of Riverdale?
thats adorable
This matters why? Big Yawn
The child will be gorgeous and the name will become popular because of them. Congratulations to the beautiful princess and prince.
what’s a royal name so
