You have to hand it to the royals. The moment their baby is born, a commercial world will be in pursuit: a newborn needs her name protected. So Mr S would like to congratulate whoever hired the mysteriously-named Moniker Privacy Services (which says it “acts as an iron curtain between you and the outside world”) to make sure no one jumped with a baby website. The URL was booked yesterday, and little Charlotte Elizabeth Diana’s name was revealed to the world just after 3pm this afternoon.
Make a note: next time the bookies are offering long odds on a baby name, check which URLs are being taken out by Moniker Privacy Services and then place your bets.
