Help[Opinions] Re: Give me some regal names please.
in reply to a message by MasterCiaraXo
Queen Victoria was Alexandrina Victoria. Her daughters:
Victoria Adelaide Mary Louisa
Alice Maud Mary
Helena Augusta Victoria
Louisa Caroline Alberta, known as Louise
Beatrice Mary Victoria Feodore
Victoria's mother was Marie Louise Victoire (or Marie Louise Victoria); by her first husband she had a daughter, Anna Feodora Auguste Charlotte Wilhelmine, known as Princess Feodora, which probably accounts for Beatrice's 4th name.
King George III's daughters:
Charlotte Augusta Matilda
Augusta Sophia
Elizabeth
Mary
Sophia Matilda
George III's mother:
Wilhelmina Charlotte Caroline, known in England as Queen Caroline
And his sisters:
Anne
Amelia Sophia Eleanor
Caroline Elizabeth
Mary
Louisa, known as Louise
As their names suggest, the German influence was powerful! More recent royals:
Edward VII married Alexandra Caroline Marie Charlotte Louise Julia
Their daughters were:
Louise Victoria Alexandra Dagmar
Victoria Alexandra Olga Mary
Maud Charlotte Mary Victoria
Their son George V married Victoria Mary Augusta Louise Olga Pauline Claudine Agnes, known as Mary of Teck
Their daughter was
Victoria Alexandra Alice Mary, known as Mary
Their son George VI married Elizabeth Angela Marguerite
Their daughters were
Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, whose daughter is
Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise
Margaret Rose, whose daughter is
Sarah Frances Elizabeth
So these are regal as far as British royals are concerned. They are not what posters on BtN think of as princessy names, which apparently have more to do with Disney.

You don't have to be so rude Anneza, it's kind of unnecessary. Acting like an elitist is never attractive.

All I know is what I see. All I see is what other posters show me. If you don't like it, tough.

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?

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.

Wording & intentions are everything. You've been going out of your way to act like a bully lately & not just express your opinion on names. That is very uncool of you.

How is Anneza's response rude?

It's been apparent for at least a few weeks now she's been going out of her way to make rude comments on the posters themselves & not just the names.

I mean it's obvious, isn't it? With the Disney comment & the implications behind it? It was obviously at least Partially targeted at me because of with I had posted earlier in the thread.

I think that's an overreaction, to be honest. The names you mentioned are very much used by real royals, and I didn't see Anneza's comment as offensive - different people will think of different names as regal. And I don't think someone expressing that they don't think a certain name is regal is gatekeeping.

You're right the reaction was a bit too extreme, but I still stand by the general sentiment of what I expressed.
