Naming wisdom: Meghan Markle's guide to meaningful choices

• Meghan Markle emphasizes the significance of choosing names for children.
• The Duchess shares her experiences in the podcast "Confessions of a Female Founder".
• The Sussex children's names have deep meaning and pay tribute to family.

Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, addressed the topic of choosing names for children in her podcast "Confessions of a Female Founder". In a conversation with Sara Blakely, founder of the "Spanx" brand, Meghan shared her thoughts on this important decision.

Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry have two children: Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana. These names are not accidental. "Archie" symbolizes strength and courage, and "Harrison" is a tribute to the father, meaning "son of Harry". Meanwhile, "Lilibet" is a nickname for Queen Elizabeth, and "Diana" commemorates Prince Harry's tragically deceased mother.

Meghan Markle admitted that choosing a name for a child is as important as a name for a company. She emphasized that she only realized this over time, acknowledging how essential it is for the name to have deep meaning and sound good without royal titles.

It's no different — I will say this to every woman in the world or every person in the world who's going to have a child — if you have an idea about what you are going to name that baby, you keep it so close to your heart, until that baby is born and it's named," advised Meghan Markle in the latest episode of her podcast "Confessions of a Female Founder".

In the biography "Finding Freedom," authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand noted that the Sussexes wanted their children's names to be traditional but also have personal significance. This approach shows how important it is for them to preserve family values.
