I like the commonly used Royal names, which many of the family all have (Elizabeth, Alice, Mary, Victoria), but I also really like Eugenie's middle name of Helena. For the boys I like Henry/Harry, James and Freddie. I like the addition of Theo to Viscount Severn's middle name.
For full names I like James Alexander Philip Theo (mainly because of the Theo) and Eugenie Victoria Helena.
I also like that Lady Louise Windsor's name is almost the same as her Aunt Anne's name. Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise and Louise Alice Elizabeth Mary. Nice touch.
I will never understand why royalty have to name the majority of their children such boring and over used names. You can still have tradition with names like Margaret Rose, Eugenie, and Andrew without having 30 Elizabeth's, 100 Charles, and 1000 Henry's running around.
As for the regnal names, thank gawd for Queen Victoria being named after her mother and her uncle being a butt about her being named after him.
As long as is not with a creative spelling or after a fruit/place, we will be fine.
You don't have to name someone Jayden or Mariah, like with Margaret Rose you had tradition and something unique and different. Plus seeing as how most of these monarchs change their name when they become king you can put the stale boring name in there somewhere. There are traditional British names that don't sound so boring, i.e. Victoria, Nicholas, Stephan, William (please use this MORE). Elizabeth is fine, at least it's not so boring, but to be different you could go Elisabeth. Borrow some names from another country that transfer over nicely. Sheesh shake it up a little bit. No need for Princess Apple, just broaden the horizons. Maybe Zara should start naming the kids.

I would love to see the name Eleanor back in the BRF.
Meadow said:. I heard that Charles always wanted to call a girl Victoria maybe if Will has one he will.
I heard it was Diana's too.I've read it was Diana who wanted to name a girl Victoria....hence my thoughts that William and Catherine might name their daughter that as a less obvious tribute. I think Victoria is a lovely name. Is Sophia a British name? I've always liked that name as well....

Molly2101 said:I can't imagine William and Catherine would choose Sophie as their daughter's name, as his aunt is called Sophie. I know many of the Royal family use the same names (Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex and Prince Edward, Duke of Kent being one example), but I can't see William calling his daughter Sophie, as it's a bit too close to home with his Aunt still around. Perhaps Sophia could be a middle name. I like Victoria Sophia, sounds nice. I think most of the Queen's relations have Elizabeth thrown into their name somewhere. Is Zara's middle name Elizabeth?
I like the name Zara. It was quite different for the Royal family, particularly at the time. Did I read above that Charles chose her name?

XeniaCasaraghi said:I personally don't like the name Eleanor, but it definitely would be a step up for this family. I'm still waiting for someone to name a son Stephan. As for Alexander John, I love the name Alexander and I think it transcends borders, but I heard that the royal family stirs clear of the name John.
