I don't have a problem with a prince or princess having a dated name. But Princess Diana's shadow is still way too present to make the name usable. They compare William and Catherine to her a lot, and having a new Diana would just put way too much pressure on the poor girl.

What's funny to me is how many people have said "Oh, Diana is too dated for the new princess." But stuff like Adelaide and Louise and Edmund are also very dated, and no less classic than Diana.

Yeah, but they have a smaller name pool to pick from, so having a dated name doesn't matter. I don't think that Edmund and Adelaide have been used for a really long time, and Louise is Prince Edward's daughter. But I think she's just Lady Louise, not Princess, so maybe they'd use it, but only if Beatrice, Eugenie, Peter, Zara and James are also on the list.
