Samuel Richard and Naomi Charlotte are nice. They make the names much less religious-y to me. They are more "hip" and liberal.

How mad are you going to be if the new princess turns out to be a horrible person and you've named a kid after her?

That's harsh. She may be a lovely person. I was gonna name my daughter when I was little Anastasia Nikoletta after the princess.

Might be. Might not be. That's the point, you shouldn't name a baby after another baby because you don't know how they'll turn out. Like how a bunch of people named their baby Miley when Miley Cyrus was popular on the Disney channel and then she started twerking and people aren't as into using it now.
Princess Anastasia of Russia is dead. You know how she turned out. If you admire her, you can honor her, but it's kind of silly to honor an infant imo.

I once wanted to honor Lance Armstrong. But then he was outed for drug doping and stripped of his jerseys. So it's just as well i never had the chance. I might honor a living family member, or someone after they retire, but i prefer to honor dead people because of what you say.

I sorta feel the same way about people you actually know personally. Don't honour until they are dead and it's safe to be nostalgic about them. Or if you already know all their "bad points" and you're comfy with them.I've had friends and even family members who I once adored and would have honoured in an instant at the time I was close to them, but living people have a super annoying tendency to grow and change, and not always in a way I might enjoy. Is that a gross sentiment? I feel a bit bad for admitting it but I'm also low on impulse control today and I'm oversharing.

This reminds me of the people who named their sons Atticus and are having regrets now that the character has been tainted by "Go Set a Watchman".
