Disappointed. Rupert is handsome, Theodora is pretty, Augusta is 🤮 remembering that my older sister had wanted to name me as well when she was Rupert's age: if she had gotten her wish I would have been named Chandelier or Pocahontas....I remember several months or a year ago when they named the new dog. Rupert had named the dog as well but it had been a selection of pre-approved names he could pick from. I imagine that's exactly what happened here too and Rupert just got to pick from a selection Jessica and Claudia had already approved of.Please rate my "Names I would Use" list & "Backup Favorites" list. Feel free to rate some of my other lists too if you have the time.

Yeah, I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about their story about how Rupert was insistent on Augusta/Augustus because he loves history.... isn't he like 4?? But maybe he is a prodigy, I don't know. They probably did give him picture books about Roman history.

I'm incredibly skeptical of a 4-year-old independently arriving to Augusta / Augustus as gendered options because of a love of history 😅 they wouldn't let him pick the dog name on his own, why would they let him name the baby on his own? The kid seems smart but he's not that clever. It has flavors of that meme /that goes: Everyone dies someday. Everyone. Even the wolves. But not books. Not words. Words don't die. - my son who is 3 and a lot smarter than me Oh f**k off Rebecca he did not say that😆🤣
