Yes, indeed; but down the centuries European royals have married each other and given rise to a subset of regal names, including the examples in my post above. And in the world of Disneyesque fantasy, which I'm not remotely familiar with though I know it exists, names for fictional princesses seem to be anything but traditional, and if anything, frilly. Regal names in the Near, Middle and Far East would naturally form groups of their own which would probably not be well known elsewhere. So, for English-speakers and/or western European namers, the choice would be between Disney and tradition. I, for one, can't say a sensible word about either Disney princesses or real ones from countries other than Great Britain and the EU: I need a context before I can like or dislike a name, or anything else really.
