Prince Names That Will Make Any Baby Boy Sound Royal

The prince names here are those chosen by royal families around the world for their little boys over the past decade or so. Your idea of prince names can be expanded to include those used over past generations—Charles and William, say—and to extend to fictional princes such as Phillip or...well, maybe not Charming.

Along with Charles and William, other prince names in the US Top 500 include Alexander, Carlos, Emmanuel, Felix, Louis, Magnus, Nikolai, and Pablo. Among the more extravagant recent prince names are Baudouin, Guillaume, Konstantinos, and Valdemar.

Some of the real little princes have three or four middle names, as used to be custom in the royal families. For more details, see our blog on prince names.
