Help[Opinions] Re: What would you name the future Queen of England?
in reply to a message by Mei
It would be interesting to see the really really old English names came back into use but in their current forms. For example, there was an East Anglian princess called Æthelthryth (or Æðelþryð or Æþelðryþe) and the current form of that name is Etheldreda or Atheldreda or Audrey. The sister of Æthelthryth was called Wendreth and the current form of her name is Wendreda. I feel like a Queen Etheldreda or Queen Atheldreda or Queen Wendreda would be pretty kickass. There are definitely a few Germanic and Anglo-Saxon origin names in circulation like Edith, Alice, Matilda, Henrietta, Adelaide and Maud. I'd like to see more interesting Germanic names.
I find it really interesting to see the decline of usage of Germanic and Anglo-Saxon names in the British royal family in favour of names from different origins.
Realistically speaking, I could see something like Edith Elizabeth Joan being used.
