Princessy Names?

[littlemissbroadway]

Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved fairy tales and princess stories.

For me, I feel like Aurora, Lillian, Evelyn, Eleanor, Florence, Cecily, Clara and Isobel remind me most of princesses. They all seem to go well with my boys list (George, Dexter, Henry, Stanley, Edward, Charlie & Louis), and they all feel like little princesses to me. (No, I am not trying to be sexist by saying all little girls are princesses or anything like that).

What names make you think of princesses?

[shakinstevenslovechild]

I have trouble sounding my 'R's so even though I quite like it, I'd be avoiding Aurora as 'Owworwah' doesn't sound very regal

[ChasbutnotDave]

Belle
Elizabeth
Victoria
Arabella

[YummyMummybee]

Matilda, lots of European princesses throughout the centuries were Princess/Queen Matilda's.
Like this thread, I'm a fan of regal names too!

[Terramirabilis]

Alice means princess or noble

[alita7]

Agree with some of the above others:

Arianna
Alicia
Inevera
Juliette
Orphelia
Diana
Fiona

[manicinsomniac]

The names most commonly given to real princesses are actually remarkably sensible and don't make me think of princesses at all (Anne, Elizabeth, Mary, Margaret, Victoria, Catherine, Anne, Joanna etc)

Names that make me think of sparkling pink castles, handsome princes, velvet dresses and fire breathing dragons are:

Aurelia, Arabella, Annabella, Ariadne, Anastasia, Adrianna, Belle, Brunhilda, Bianca, Catriona, Carolina, Cordelia, Cassandra, Calliope, Clarissa, Christiana, Christabel, Carlotta, Delilah, Elisaveta, Emmeline, Eleanora, Eloisa, Evangeline, Francesca, Frederika, Felicity, Florence, Felicia, Fenella, Gabriella, Georgiana, Genevieve, Hermione, Henrietta, Isabella, Isadora, Juliana, Juliette, Josephina, Katerina, Liliana, Lucinda, Louisa, Lavinia, Miranda, Madeleine, Natalia, Octavia, Ophelia, Philippa, Priscilla, Persephone, Pandora, Rowena, Robina, Sapphire, Seraphina, Sylvia, Tatiana, Tabitha, Valentina.

[littlemissbroadway]

oooh, so many lovely names here!

I like Diana, Aurelia, Genevieve, Arabella, Belle, Catriona, Cordelia, Clarissa, Christabel, Delilah, Emmeline, Francesca, Felicity, Florence, Fenella, Georgiana, Hermione, Henrietta, Isabella, Isadora, Juliette, Lucinda, Louisa, Lavinia, Madeleine, Natalia, Octavia, Ophelia, Rowena, Sylvia, Valentina, Matilda, Arwen, Mary, Eugenie, Beatrice, Charlotte, and Ariana.

One I forgot was Miriam

[AndHarry]

Disney princess style I think of Celeste, Lucinda, Melissa and Serena.

[LePetitPont]

For historical accuracy (and some queens in there too, strong women!) rather than Disney fluff:

Antoinette
Catherine
Beatrice
Marguerite
Marie
Genevieve
Victoria
Elizabeth
Margaret
Stephanie
Caroline
Eugenie

[LePetitPont]

Ps Eleanor is a great name - Eleanor of Aquitaine was one of the most powerful women of the Middle Ages

[lechers]

What about the royal houses of Europe....?

Amongst the princesses (and various titles) there are...

Beatrix, Alexia, Catherina, Ariane, Laurentien, Eloise, Leonore, Mabel, Luane, Zaria(The Netherlands)

Silvia, Victoria, Estelle, Leonore, Madeleine, (Sweden)

Sofia, Victoria, Irene (Spain)

Martha, Maud, Leah, Emma and Astrid (Norway)

Isabella, Josephine, Elisabeth, Athena, Marie and Benedicte. (Denmark)

But then many of these real princess names are not actually very "princessy" and are quite ordinary!

[HoneyandRum]

If you mean very feminine names with a certain romance I would say Raphaela.

For a classic name used by actual women who were/are Princesses I would say Catherine.

[smokeandglitter]

Tatiana and Anastasia. I love those names!

[guineapig2014]

Estella
Giselle
Izella

[NigellasDealer]

Anastasia,
Alexandra
Tatiana
Victoria
Sharon
Tracy

[NigellasDealer]

ooh and Leonora

[fideline]

Nigella try to behave yourself
