I think you have to pick something not too popular so people actually hear it. Sophia, Elizabeth, Grace, Eve, Beatrice and Margot are all quite elegant but so many around that impression won’t land.

you can't go wrong with Princess Chardone' Merlotta Pippilotta Pesanella III

The thing is, royal names don't sound particularly regal in isolation. Calling your child Katherine or Alexandra will sound nice and sensible rather than grand.

You might find the online Daily Telegraph's birth and engagement notices a source of inspiration although there are some more niche names as well!
