Re: new names for British monarchs
The British Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain died in 1969 so Eugenie has been used quite recently.During the Georgian period in England, some Princes had the name Augustus (one was a Duke of Sussex).The French Queen Henrietta Maria of England lived in the 1600's so that name could be revived again.In England, Jeffrey is usually spelled Geoffrey, Neil, Claude and Sapphire would be considered "chavvy" (eg. low social status). Claude was popular in the French Royal Family. Rose is an aristocratic name but highly unlikely for a Queen's first name.I would like to see...King Arthur
King Louis
King Valentine
King Peregrine
King Crispin
King Bartholomew
King Jasper
Queen Cordelia
Queen Genevieve
Queen Charlotte
Queen Matilda
Queen Cecily
Queen Rosamund (instead of Rose)
Queen GuinevereSome more "out there" names for British royal ladies:Queen Andromeda
Queen Phaedra
Queen Cressida
Queen Hermione
Queen Euphemia
Queen Theodosia
Queen Jemima
Queen Delilah
Queen Ariadne

I remembered there being a princess named Eugenie. Forgot she was a queen of Spain.
I know the king's great-grandfather was Claude Bowes-Lyon, so I thought there's a pretense.
I know Augustus and Henrietta were used in royal families all across Europe, including Britain.
