Question of the Day!

When you guys think of names that exude femininity and elegance, which do you think of? Also, what names sound particularly royal to you? I've come to find that I really like names of figures related to royal families - Davina, Eugenia, Helena, Anastasia, Elizabeth, etc.

Please let me know!

I would think of names that are a little bit longer (two or more syllables I guess), traditional, not trendy, and with a pleasant "flow" to them. I don't really think that names that sound nick-namey sound elegant all on their own. And looking at the examples I would think of and that others have suggested it seems like ending in an "a" sound is fine, but probably ending in an "ie," "i,"
"y," or "o" would be less royal sounding--I'd venture that "Shiloh" isn't a regal name. You might disagree.
I would think of names you already said (esp. Anastasia and Helena), plus others like Catherine, Charlotte, Louise/Louisa, Alexandra, Sophia, and so forth.
