Princess Names: Fictional Picks

Love most of the names on this list, especially Melisande.

There’s an error in your Fiona entry though. Shrek was made by Dreamworks, not Pixar.

Awww, no Game of Thrones princesses made the list!

@Pansy– thanks, fixed that!

@dotmyiis– I love Game of Thrones! Daenerys was definitely one of my top contenders for this list. I also considered Myrcella and Elia.

Like Daisy, Fiona and Luna

I like Arwen, Fiona, and Luna the best.

Aurora is very awkward to say.

I love this post! I particularly like Fiona, Melisande and Rosalina. Luna and Daisy are great too. Actually, Leia is #68 on the Swedish top 100!

You really need to add a “view on one page” button. I get that these page-through blogs pull in more revenue, but it’s SUPER annoying to have to sit and wait for an entire page to load just to see one more name. Then do it again. And again. I usually give up around page 5, if not sooner.

I love Eowyn too, as a LOTR princess name. Surprised to Serena didn’t make the list. For Melisande, the ultimate reference is mythological, and the opera took the Greek original to French perfection, Pelleas et Melisande.

If you pronounce Aurora the Spanish way, it is much easier to say — I have a Puerto Rican student named Aurora.

I love most of these . . . Particularly Arwen, Azalea, and Luna.

@milooowen: I adore Eowyn as well!

Yup, I’d love a “View All On One Page” option too. I usually don’t even make it to the THIRD page because it loads so poorly on my computer.

Upgrading the slideshow function including making it easier to see everything at once is definitely on our list. The downside of a site that’s individually created and managed like Nameberry is that it’s just me, Linda, Hugh, and Hannah making everything run and so some things take longer to get to.

I love so many of these names! Arwen, (love LOTR!) Azalea (I have a friend named Azalea and am jealous of her name) and especially Leia! (I love Star Wars and I’ve never been a fan of the Lee-uh pronunciation)

Here are some interesting names from L. Frank Baum’s Oz books

Queen Adora
Princess Elma, Evanna, Emeralda,
Glenda
Gayelette
Queen Isomere
Lurline
Maribella
Ozana, Ozma
Rivette, Rora
Starena
Vanette
Zixi

@Yellow – I agree, I rarely even read the blogs at all because I hate having to wait for each page to load when I just want to see the names and be able to comment.

I think more people would visit the blogs and comment if it wasn’t so annoying.

And, as I am forced to sit through it for the 20th time this week, there are the 12 Dancing Princesses (from the Barbie movie version):

Genevieve, Ashlyn, Blair, Courtney, Delia, Edeline, Fallon, Hadley, Isla, Janessa, Kathleen and Lacey.

Unfortunately on the internet, the tennis player Kim Clijster is given the nickname Princess Fiona because of her facial likeness to the character in Shrek.

Melisande is so pretty.

I remember a series of books about dragons I read when I was little and there was a princess named Cimorene. Always wondered how to pronounce it!

So sad at the way Luna is climbing.

Love so many of these names! I especially loved Fiona, Aurora, and Rosalina. I have been looking for a longer version of Rose…definately going to add Rosalina to the list!

@ R_ J — I read those books too! Wow. I pronounce it “Sim-uh-reen” for what it’s worth

I love so many of these names, especially Arwen.

My all-time favorite princess name, though, has to be EOWYN.

I’m laughing at this list because of lot of these are my middle name list with the exception of Aurora.

I really like Arwen, Azalea, Rosalina and Melisande. My grandmother’s name is Daisy, so I would definitely use it to honor her. Zelda is cool, but I prefer Griselda with Zelda as a nickname.

I plan to use Aurora and Rosalina/Rosalind somewhere in my names.

Yeah! I <3 mlp:fim
Zelda and Arwen is pretty cool too and Aurora is pretty.

My dad wanted to name me Leia, because my brothers are Levi and Logan, (also he loves Star Wars- big geek Logan named partially after wolverine) but my mom out ruled him and named me Micaela.

Moanna is NOT a hawaiian name – hawaiian words never have two consonents in a row. The correct spelling would be Moana.

I think in this case Moanna is just a varistion on a conjoined Anna name.

I always thought Princess Kitana of the Mortal Kombat franchise was an awesome Princess name. She was regal, considered the most beautiful Princess of all video games, and she could kick butt. All good things.

I’ve known both an Arwen and an Eowyn.

I really like Merida for a princess name. Brave was easily one of my favorite movies of the year, and the character is simply amazing.
