Meghan Markle knows what it’s like to choose a baby name with the whole world watching.
And now, the Duchess of Sussex is sharing some insight into how she thinks it’s best to announce said name ― global stage, or not.
“I will say this to every woman in the world or every person in the world who’s going to have a child,” Meghan shared on the latest episode of her Lemonada Media podcast, “Confessions of a Female Founder.”
“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. Don’t ask anyone’s opinion,” she said.
The world waited with bated breath before Meghan and Prince Harry’s first child was born in May 2019.

As the name and sex of a royal baby is not announced before the baby is born, there were many different name predictions in the running at the time, including Elizabeth, Diana and Victoria for a girl, and Albert, Philip, Arthur and James for a boy.
The couple eventually settled on Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor for their first child, a son who is now 6.
For their daughter, who is now 3, the couple chose a name inspired by Queen Elizabeth’s family nickname: Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
Harry and Meghan reportedly got the queen’s blessing for using the personal nickname, according to a spokesperson for the Sussexes.
“The Duke spoke with his family in advance of the announcement, in fact his grandmother was the first family member he called,” the couple’s spokesperson told HuffPost at the time.
