NAME FIT FOR A QUEEN HELP!!!
I am currently writing a novel that takes place at the english court around the 1600's.
I need a name fit for the character of the Queen (Main Character). I am looking for something CHIC AND ELEGANT.
Could someone give me either a traditional name with a CHIC and cool nickname or just something elegant, vintage and chic?*You must have noticed I emphazised the word CHIC quite a lot*XOXO

Unlikely that any names a queen might use then would come with "chic" nns, whatever that even means.
Anne, Mary, Margaret, Elizabeth, Katherine, Jane, Isabella, Caroline. Nothing earth-shaking or exciting; same as it is now.

Katherine and Elizabeth sound espicially regal to me, and I can't see a monarch named a trendy or dated name.

Historically, you have these to choose from:Anne
Henrietta Maria
Catherine
Marybecause those were the Queens during the 1600's. I think Henrietta Maria is the most elegantly vintage chic choice, myself.

If you're not concerned about using the name of an actual 1600s queen, here are some suggestions, with 'chic' nicknames. I tried to choose traditional female names although some of the nicknames are probably not realistic for the era - Elizabeth - Ellie, Elle, Elsie, Elsa, Ella, Bette, Betsy, Liza, Lizzie, Lizbeth, Beta
Beatrice - Bea, Trixie
Mary - Molly
Margaret - Maggie, Meg, Greta, Margot, Maisie, Mamie, Mae
Charlotte - Lotta, Lottie, Charlie
Catherine - Cat, Kate, Cathe
Philippa - Pip, Pippa
Rosalind - Ro, Rosie, Rosa, Roz
Victoria - Vic, Vi, Tori, Tora
Henrietta - Hettie, Hattie, Etta, Honey
