Re: Bad twin names
in reply to a message by Sofia

Yikes, lol. That's inexcusable for British parents. I love that Harry is a nickname for Henry, btw. I love both of those names.

I don't really see why it's worse for British parents than anyone else. Prince Harry is just called Prince Harry - people never call him Prince Henry, so people might not know that Harry is short for Henry. I do think it's strange that they didn't know that the names are related, but I don't see why it's so much worse just because they're English!

It's worse because they should know the given names of their own royal family. Especially because William and Harry are so very popular. I mean, it's not like an anti-British remark, it's just that people who aren't British might not know that because it's not relevant to them.
