Queen Victoria was named after two people. She was not named until her baptism because people could not agree on one.

Her father had several ideas about what her name could be (Charlotte, Elizabeth) but his brother King George IV vetoed them. He then consented for her to be named Alexandrina Victoria after her god-father Czar Alexander of Russia and her mother Duchess Victoria of Kent.
