Help[Opinions] Re: Give me some regal names please.
in reply to a message by Anneza
Also Anneza, the definition of Regal: of, resembling, or fit for a monarch, especially in being magnificent or dignified.
It doesn't mean it "has" to be of actual royalty. A "regal" name could fall under an entire scope of names that just sound royal. I would argue several "real" royal names don't "sound" like royal names at all. Ex: Olga for instance. Maybe you should stop trying to gatekeep?
Please rate my "Names I would Use" list. Feel free to rate some of my other lists too if you want.

I don't totally get the problem. I could say any name I liked was magnificent. I'm sure Olga seems grand to a lot of people. OP asked for names associated with royalty, and I assumed that meant actual royalty, too, so not something like Queen, even if I like that. Or even from a Disney perspective, why is Aurora inherently more dignified or princessy than Briar Rose?
I'd assume names that seem inherently magnificent or like power names without being associated with IRL royalty or goddesses are probably subversive - which doesn't evoke royalty to me.

The point was the intent which was meant to be snarky & gatekeep-y. & the implications that her views on names falling under the category were inherently "correct & superior" in comparison to those that had a more liberal opinion of "regal" names. She's been going out of her way to make remarks on commenters more than names themselves lately & it's rude.
