« on: April 21, 2010, 08:27:02 PM »I might be wrong about this but since they were of Russian Orthodox wouldn't the name have been a traditional Russian name?Rather the other way around: It had to be a name you could find in the Orthodox saints' calendar.
Victoria would be OK, I think, as there were several early Saint Victorias, but Alice (short form of Adelaide / Adalheidis) would only be OK in the form Адельгейда or Adelgeida IF the Orthodox Church recognizes for example the 10th century Saint Adelaide of Italy / Burgundy, who BTW was an empress!
Oh thank you cause I was thinking of the saint names because all the Romanov's had their name days.
