Why name babies after royals?
Naming a child after a royal, like Adelaide Elizabeth, is a common way to honour family members and tradition. 'Elizabeth' is a clear tribute to the late Queen, a much-loved figure. 'Adelaide' may also have royal connections, possibly referencing Queen Adelaide, wife of King William IV.
