What name did Queen Victoria veto?
Perhaps 'veto' isn't the best term. Victoria was enormously influential when it came to the names of her grandchildren. They more or less all have the names Albert, Victor or Victoria in there somewhere. The future Edward VII and Queen Alexandra named their first born son and heir Prince Albert Victor, although he was always known within the family as Eddy, suggesting to me that perhaps Albert Victor hadn't been their first choice. Victoria was always very much involved in the naming and seems to have got her way most, if not all the time.
