Re: What would you name the future Queen of England?

I love Queen Etheldreda!!!
So unique but traditional.
I love the name Audrey but I always thought it was too informal and untraditional for a Queen! Her name could be Etheldreda or Atheldreda and her nickname Audrey- I don't know if that works.

I did see that Audrey was used among British nobility (there was a lady named Audrey Young who became a duchess by marriage) but not in the actual royal family. I think I do agree that Audrey may come across as informal and untraditional but looking at the names that the current British royals are giving to their children, I think Audrey could definitely be a choice that could work. The name "Audrey" fits their heritage and is both classic and current. I like Atheldreda with the nickname Audrey - that would be nice. I was thinking maybe that "Edie" could work for Etheldreda.
