Margaret is a popular person.....
# USS Margaret (SP-328)
# USS Margaret (SP-524)
# USS Margaret (SP-527)
# USS Margaret (SP-531)
# USS Margaret (SP-2510)
# USS Margaret and Jessie (1863)
# USS Margaret and Rebecca (1864)
actually, as you didn't mention which nation either, the list could be very extensive.....
The following were/are to be named after Queen Elizabeth I of England - HMS Queen Elizabeth a Dreadnought Battleship launched 1915 and will be the name of the Aircraft Carrier which is due to enter service in 2014.
I am sure the POM's have many many examples of naming ships after royalty.
