The Little Book of Prince Names: A Regal Treasury of Noble, Mythic, and Storybook Names for Boys

Whether you're naming a baby, a character, a noble steed, or even a particularly princely pup, this book offers a treasure trove of inspiration drawn from centuries of real-life royalty, legendary heroes, and beloved fictional princes.

Inside, you'll find detailed entries for names worthy of a crown — rich in history, layered with story, and glowing with possibility.

What’s inside the kingdom:
• Real Royalty – Discover the names of actual princes from across time and place — from the Windsors and Tudors to emperors, rulers of Transylvania, and lesser-known heirs from Monaco to Scandinavia.
• Fantasy & Fiction – Step into worlds created by Tolkien, George R. R. Martin, C. S. Lewis, Sarah J. Maas, and more. From noble heirs of Middle-earth to rebellious sons, these names echo with imagination and adventure.
• Fairy-Tale – Meet the princes who cross kingdoms for love. These storybook names are perfect for those drawn to classic magic, romance, and happily-ever-afters.
• Mythical Legends – Delve into the myths of Greece, Rome, and Celtic folklore, where princely figures wield swords and destinies alike.
• Warrior Princes & Rebel Royals – For those who don’t just inherit thrones but fight for them. These are the names of heroes, renegades, and rulers with fire in their hearts — bold choices for bold spirits.
• Starry-Eyed Sovereigns – Explore names with celestial ties — galactic royals, constellation kings, and otherworldly heirs who rule by starlight.
• Hidden Crowns – Names that mean “prince” across different languages, offering subtle yet powerful tributes to nobility and leadership.
• Names Best Admired from Afar – A cheeky section of princely names that may be better suited for characters than crib sheets (think: Humperdink, and Candybus... yes, really).

This isn’t just a list — it’s a storybook of names. Each name is explored with both heart and humour, considering their meaning, history, associations, and how they might wear in the modern world.

Whether you're drawn to poetic classics, fierce finds, royal standards like Louis and Henry, or whimsical wonders — you’ll find names for romantics, rebels, dreamers, scholars, and adventurers alike.

Perfect for:
• Expecting parents seeking meaningful, magical names
• Writers building kingdoms and character arcs

So saddle your dragon, summon your scroll, and prepare to crown a name with purpose, power, and a little bit of starlight.

Because every great prince deserves a name with a story.
