Royal baby names ?

Is it a bit sad of me to start yet another silly game, but in the midst of debating the merits of Chardonnay over Wayne for the new Cambridge baby, I got to wondering whether there is indeed a (real) “Royal” name for each letter of the alphabet?
How about TWO per post, one boy and one girl?
If I may, I’ll start
Adelaide (granddaughter of George III and mother of Queen Mary)
Arthur (he of the Round Table, also there was one who was a son of Queen Victoria, the Duke of Connaught)

Oh, I'm sorry, that sounds so disrespectful to any Christians taking part. blush I just got over-excited when I thought of a name.

Thank you! Though I've just read the OP properly and I've messed up on the others (it's supposed to be one male, one female). Oops.
