1. I have an aunt with that name

She of course had to work for a living and was not born with some idiots thinking she was something special.

Man, I really hate that this world still has fucking royalty.

[merrily]

6. Maleficent, is that you?

I kid.

10. Every baby IS something special

Each and every baby born (with a few very sad exceptions) is very special to his/her parents.

I have to agree with you about 'royalty' though.

26. Unfortunately that is not always true

Most people hold out the hope that each baby should be special to parents and other extended family/friends. That is the ideal, but it certainly not universally true.

[merrily]

4. We, um, opted out.

[Wilms]

11. And that impresses me more and more.

With so many thinking there's something wonderful about monarchy, I'm really glad the Founders saw it otherwise and prevailed.

nothing but happiness.

Very appropriate. Just beautiful in every way.

Princess Lottie.

18. Why would they name her after a spider?

[snooper2]

19. Meh, I liked Alice better.

Mom wanted to name me Charlotte Hoover in honor of some ancestor of her adoptive family, but dad overruled her, thank Ceiling Cat. I don't know where they got the Diane from, but my middle name, Lee, is in honor or Liberace, lol.
