I have recently gotten back into writing, and I think Writerberries would concur when I say the names are probably the hardest part of it all. I am looking for a name that is regal, as the title says, but uncommon. None of the names belonging to royals, past or present, manage to woo me as such. I like [name_f]Athena[/name_f] (Princess [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] named her daughter [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], and [name_f]Athena[/name_f] is also a grandchild of the former [name_f]Queen[/name_f] of Denmark) but I am planning on using it for my own daughter, if I have one, and wouldn’t want to use it for a character.
[name_f][/name_f]
There’s [name_f]Alice[/name_f], Louise/a, [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f], and [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], but they’re far too common and I’m not a fan really. I like [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] (but there’s something holding me back) and [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] / [name_f]Alienor[/name_f] (but can’t decide on the spelling!).
[name_f][/name_f]
Others I’ve thought of are [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f], [name_f]Agnes[/name_f], [name_f]Lucasta[/name_f], [name_f]Astraea[/name_f], [name_f]Cassiopeia[/name_f], and Daphne; I go back and forth on these names. Of all, I am inclined towards [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] the most.
[name_f][/name_f]
But I’d still like some opinions & suggestions! What other royal, or royal-adjacent names can you come up with, that are also uncommon? I am at a loss of name ideas right now. Thank you!

I’m not sure these are technically royal or royal-adjacent, but they certainly have that vibe to me!

(also, are you just looking for feminine names? I’m happy to come back and suggest masculine ideas too if you’d like)
