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)

Queen Noelene - well, she should have been Queen except that the Plantagenets were cheated out of the throne

I have always had a fondness for King Zog and Queen Geraldine of Albania who sound almost like a suburban couple. Doris, wife of King Herod, has a certain charm too.
