With all of the possibilities for Cunard ia endings- odd there was never a Victoria although rumor has it Queen Mary was supposed to have been so christened, or for that matter Hispania- Lusitania being a province there. There were actually two provinces of Mauretania in Africa at some point around Jubal II and Ptolemy- and come to think of it - 2 Mauretanias too- the four-stacker being the BEST of course!

If you go onto the cunard company website you will see that they are currently building a Queen Victoria, this will be the first ship originally built for cunard to be to have its name end w/ "IA" in about 50 years, as the Caronia was orginally owned by a Norwegion line, i cant remember the exact name, maybe someone else can.

A map of the Roman Empire would be informative in this regard.
An exception to the Cunard naming practice, for some reason unknown to me as I write, was Berengaria (ex-Imperator) named after Berengaria of Navarre, queen consort of Richard I of England.
