Naming Rights

I hear Queen Elizabeth is upset over the name Harry and Meghan gave their baby. When I heard of the queen’s concern, I assumed that Harry and Meghan had named the baby “Queen”, like Queen Latifah. But no, the baby’s name is Lilibet.

So, like, are we supposed to get our grandparents’ permission before we name our kids after them? I didn’t do that. Did you? What if your grandparents are deceased? Do you then get your parents’ consent? Your oldest aunt or uncle?

What if they wanted to name their dog Lilibet? Does the queen have naming rights on pets?

In the comic strip Dondi, Dondi’s dog was named Queenie. I wonder where the queen stood on Dondi?
