I'm not a fan of Charlotte, but Victoria and Alexandra are lovely names. Both very regal sounding. For boys:James, Samuel, Andrew, Edward, Cedric, Jasper, Lucas, Leo?:)

It's so royal that the obvious boy names would be Edward, George and William.I like Victoria. Charlotte - remove the C- and the -te and see what you're left with. I just couldn't use it, not ever. I'd even prefer Charlene! Alexandra is nice but a bit impractical for daily use; shortened to Alexa, I'd be happy, but Sandra is a real turn-off. If you want a regal trio and can drop Charlotte, Caroline has a good 18th-century pedigree; or Catherine if you go back to Henry VIII and the Stuarts.

I like Caroline, and no offense but, I don't think your objection to Charlotte valid because of the way it's pronounced. You wouldn't see that unless you were looking for it.

Victoria, Charlotte and Alexandra are all classic English names (well, they're probably used world-wide), therefore I think they match quite well.Here a couple of suggestions for their brother's name (my favorites are marked with a *):Adam
Arthur
Benjamin
Benedict*
Calvin
Carl
David
Dominic/k
Frederick
Jacob
Jonathan
Laurence*
Leonard*
Lucas
Nicholas*
Philip*
Vincent*

It's a pretty good sibset. I'd approve if I met three sisters with those names.
The style seems to be fairly long and classic. Some random boys ideas:
Christopher
William
Sebastian
Gabriel
Raphael
Vincent
Michael
Bedivere
Percival
Frederick

CoolSo far, six people have suggested William as a good name for a brother of Victoria and my two children are named Victoria and William. I feel so....approved of, I guess?

They fit well together. All feminisations, all royal names, all of a good length, all have nickname options. They're perfectly nice and respectable, but there's nothing that 'wow' about them is all. Victoria, Charlotte, Alexandra and Edward
Victoria, Charlotte, Alexandra and Henry
Victoria, Charlotte, Alexandra and William
Victoria, Charlotte, Alexandra and George
Victoria, Charlotte, Alexandra and Thomas
Victoria, Charlotte, Alexandra and Oliver
Victoria, Charlotte, Alexandra and Edmund
Victoria, Charlotte, Alexandra and Robert
Victoria, Charlotte, Alexandra and Frederick
Victoria, Charlotte, Alexandra and Samuel
Victoria, Charlotte, Alexandra and Arthur
Victoria, Charlotte, Alexandra and Christopher

I love Victoria and Alexandra, and hate Charlotte. So I'd substitute something else for Charlotte. But what? Maybe Calanthe or Calanthia.

I don't like Charlotte either,though I don't hate it. How about Constance? Or Christina?
vote up1
I could go for Constance, but I'm bored with Christina.

Wow, really good together!
I would like Victoria, Carlotta, and Alessandra even better.
Theodore
Rupert
Oliver
Sebastian

I adore it. They are all classics with a great flair over them. They also fits in lengths and that's a big plus to me.I'd say a brother with a name like Jonathan, Benjamin, Sebastian, Nathaniel or Kenneth would fit with Victoria, Charlotte and Alexandra as sisters.

They're all safe, inoffensive names, but they are so ploddingly "classic" and "regal" they bore me. Charlotte has a dowdiness the other two don't have. Victoria and Alexandra are nice enough names, but so overbilled. They're like kids at school who are good-looking and well-behaved and popular, but after graduation you pretty much forget about them or confuse them with each other, because they're so generic and bland. They'll probably go on to lead successful lives, but while they might have stood out in a high school populated with Jaydens and Destinees, and stood out among kids who drank and bred and wrecked cars, in the wider world they just fade into the background.Boys' names that go with those? Edmund, Theodore (nn Theo, not Ted) and Daniel. I would say Alexander but it wouldn't apply in this case.

I like them together. No real wow factor for me, but they are classic, lovely names. A bit frilly, but still nice.For boys names, I'd stick with strong classics.
Andrew
Philip
Henry
William
James
