Names fit for royalty
Names carried by kings, queens, and nobility across centuries — commanding, refined, and always in style.
Royal names never fully fall out of fashion because they're refreshed every generation by actual royals. Charlotte surged after the princess was born. Arthur is climbing in the UK. Eleanor, Henry, Victoria, and George have been top-100 fixtures for decades. These names carry a sense of weight and occasion without being stuffy — they're formal on paper and friendly in person.
