So maybe your baby girl will never wear a jeweled crown and become a monarch. No matter. You can still give her an inspiring regal baby name like Adelaide. A much-loved queen of Britain in the early 19th century, Adelaide was an early feminist fighting for the rights of children and the poor. Adelaide has a sweet sophistication that still reigns supreme. Actresses Katherine Heigl and Rachel Griffiths have mini queen named Adelaide.

“The Aristocats” sweet, kind-hearted Madame Adelaide Bonfamille—a former opera singer—is a huge cat lover who signs a will leaving her vast fortune to her beloved felines so they would be cared for when she’s gone. She always sees the good in people, which leaves her unaware when her greedy butler Edgar overhears her plan and gets rid of the animals in order to inherit the money himself. But ultimately, Adelaide is rewarded for her trustworthy, caring nature when (spoiler!) she gets all her cats back at the end!
