One of the most fun and sometimes frustrating parts of being a parent is choosing a baby name. While some decide on the name long before the baby has graced the world, others wait for the baby to arrive. A common practice in choosing a name is shortlisting the alphabet and checking out all the names starting with the same letter. In this process, the letter Q is unfortunately overlooked, probably because the names starting with this letter are a bit outlandish and unique. But your daughter is a princess, and she definitely deserves a name that makes her special and distinctive, like a queen.
