With all this talk about names that were banded about during the "pregnancy". I've always wondered why people think Freddie Reign wouldn't be a name any Brit would pick, like it's Louis taking the piss. Both names are regularly used here, Freddie more so as a first name, especially in the last 10 years. What was considered old fashioned is super popular now. As a Brit I don't understand the fandom's thinking, it's seems also as if everyone thinks Louis made the names up for spite, that it's unthinkable to name a child here that. It's my biggest bugbear with the fandom. As more popular blogs say "do your research".
Brit anon, I can't really tell for your tone if you know the reasons behind Freddie Reign being such a massive joke and is just trying to pin it on "it's a usual name" and "just a coincidence" or if you actually have no idea about the context. But I will explain it anyway because there's no such thing as a coincidence with this name, love. And I don't know what blogs you've been reading but no one is saying Freddie Reign wouldn't be a name any Brit would pick. This could be the most popular name in Britain but we're talking about context and what these two names represent together for Louis Tomlinson.
As you may know, throughout 2015 we were presented with the rainbow bears. But RBB wasn't the first name given to the bear, it was previously known for Freddie Mustache among other variations of the name, for the resemblance with Freddie Mercury.
As months went by, they gave us dozens of queer icons and references, and the Freddie Mercury/Queen references were always there, over and over. Probably the most important reference actually, considering RBB never let go of the combo mustache+glasses. That's Freddie Mercury's very recognizable brandTM
But they really kept the references coming, from the Hollywood walk of fame, profile pictures, dumb puns (*cough* harry) to even movies from RBB's collection
(Meanwhile SBB was out there shading his fake baby)
Still in 2015, FIMQ was a well known larrie, very very popular for making Larry videos on youtube. FIMQ = Freddie is my queen, a play of words because of the fact that Freddie was from the band Queen.
This is BEFORE Freddie Reign was born. The bears spent the entire year of 2015 and early 2016 talking about Freddie Mercury. To only a few weeks after this picture
FIMQ = Freddie is my Queen
Freddie Mercury, from the band Queen
Freddie Reign, are you kidding me????
Plus, look at the picture! It's literally right there under everyone's noses:
Freddie Mercury: The Definitive Biography
Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupid
Hotel Babylon
Mercury and Me
Under it we have "QU", probably something else Queen related and again a crown.
Before Freddie Reign was even born.
They're spelling saying Freddie, Queen, baby and lies all in the same sentence here. It couldn't possibly exist a most fitting name for this fake parenthood after everything RBB and SBB gave us.
Oh, and just for the record, later on, FIMQ was the same youtube channel Harry and Louis shared revenue with. They went there and literally split money with her youtube channel.
