I’m looking to compose a list of ‘royal’ names for girls and boys (I will also post in boys thread) I’m looking further afield than just [name]Britain[/name] and for slightly quirkier options:
I [name]Love[/name]
[name]Clementina[/name]/[name]Clementine[/name] and
[name]Adelaide[/name]
Does anyone know if [name]Isadora[/name], [name]Theodora[/name] or [name]Aurora[/name] (aside from Disney princess association:) can be tied to royalty anywhere?
[name]Theodora[/name] was Byzantine empress. Google her. I prefer [name]Dorothea[/name], I think this is name common among [name]German[/name] princesses.
I love [name]Margarethe[/name]. I think this name is common amogn danish princesses, but I am not sure.
[name]Aurora[/name] (I couldn’t find any ties to royalty. [name]Aurora[/name] is the [name]Roman[/name] God of dawn.)
[name]Theodora[/name] (Multiple Byzantine Empresses & empresses of Trebizond)
[name]Theodosia[/name] ([name]Queen[/name] consort to [name]Leo[/name] V)
[name]Adela[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Agatha[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Anne[/name]
[name]Augusta[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Blanche[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Cecily[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Clementina[/name]
[name]Dorothea[/name]
[name]Edith[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Emma[/name]
[name]Eugenie[/name]
[name]Frances[/name]
[name]Helen[/name]
[name]Isabella[/name]
[name]Joan[/name]
[name]Judith[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Maud[/name]
[name]Philippa[/name]/[name]Pippa[/name]
[name]Sarah[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name]
[name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Isadora[/name] is the middle name of one of the youngest members of the Norwegian royal family. She’s not a princess, but one of the [name]King[/name] [name]Harald[/name] and [name]Queen[/name] [name]Sonja[/name]'s grand daughters. Her full name is [name]Leah[/name] [name]Isadora[/name], her sisters are [name]Maud[/name] [name]Angelica[/name] and [name]Emma[/name] [name]Tallulah[/name]. The Norwegian Crown [name]Prince[/name]'s daughter s called [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name].
I think [name]Anastasia[/name] is a pretty great choice. Margrethe is the Danish queen I believe. It’s also one of the middle names of the prince and princess’s first daughter (her full name is [name]Isabella[/name] [name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Ingrid[/name] Margrethe I think). Other notable choices:
[name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Alexandra[/name]
[name]Wilhelmina[/name]
[name]Juliana[/name]
[name]Catharina[/name]-[name]Amalia[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Tatiana[/name]
[name]Maria[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Constance[/name]
[name]Marie[/name]-[name]Therese[/name]
[name]Marie[/name] [name]Antoinette[/name]
[name]Sofia[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Leonore[/name]
[name]Anunciata[/name]
[name]Marie[/name]-[name]Astrid[/name]
[name]Margaretha[/name]/[name]Margriet[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]-[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Gabriella[/name]/[name]Gabrielle[/name]
[name]Eleonora[/name]
[name]Alix[/name]
[name]Elisabeth[/name]
[name]Antonia[/name]
Ooooooh love [name]Beatrix[/name], [name]Wilhelmina[/name], [name]Dorothea[/name] especially! And thanks [name]Ottilie[/name]… You’re back !!
My favourites:
[name]Tamar[/name]
[name]Marie[/name] [name]Zephyrine[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] - She’s in line to the British throne but pretty far down the list. I like the name a lot.
[name]Theodosia[/name]
Belisent (one of the semi-mythical daughters of Charlemagne - the man was real, some of the daughters are hard to substantiate)
[name]Laetitia[/name]/[name]Lettice[/name] - Rival/enemy of [name]Elizabeth[/name] I of [name]Britain[/name]. [name]Laetitia[/name] is much prettier than [name]Lettice[/name].
My favorite is [name]Rania[/name] for [name]Queen[/name] [name]Rania[/name] of [name]Jordan[/name].
