Millions of people on both sides of the pond are obsessed with the British royal family, so the world erupted when it was announced yesterday that the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle gave birth to her and Prince Harry’s first child. Even if you’re not die-hard fans of the family, this is still significant news because Meghan Markle is the first American to marry into British royalty since 1937. So this baby is a symbol of the unification of the USA and the UK, I guess, even though it’s the year 2019 and we’re not two warring kingdoms that need to be brought together in order to reach peace. But I digress.

The second announcement that was made after news of the baby’s birth was this:

Whether it was intentional or not, they really opened themselves up for an onslaught of hilarious guesses when they decided “U N U S U A L name that U N I F I E S the US and UK” was the best way to frame this.

People were quick to chime in with their ideas as to what UNUSUAL UNIFIER the new royal baby is going to be given.
