Victorian Girl Names

The names Queen Victoria herself chose for her daughters include stylish choices like Adelaide, Alice, Helena, Beatrice and Louise. More unusual choices among the Victorian royal baby names include Alberta, Augusta, and Maud.

Nickname names for girls were also popular with Victorian parents, including sweet choices like Annie, Betsy, Elsie, Kitty, Polly and Minnie.
