We've used up Elizabeth, Victoria, and Isabella as middle names for my daughters. Just in case the next one is a girl, can anyone help me with some other historically significant queens?

I'm in the same situation with looking for a regal name for my second child, due in December. It's always wonderful to be able to bestow a name with some history. I named my first child, a girl, Grace Patricia after the late Princess Grace of Monaco. Coincidently she also happened to have been born on the same day as her.
If you want to go with Dutch names, Julianna is very pretty. As is Beatrix. I think Wilhemina is a bit too heavy a name to live up to! Her mother was named Emma.
The present Queen of Denmark is named Margarethe (I believe this is pronounced as Margreta).
If you want to go with a name that may be more relevant when she comes of age, future Queen's regnant (Queen's who reign in their own right) will be Ingrid Alexandra of Norway, Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands and Princess Elisabeth of Belgium (although you've already used Elizabeth).
Anne, Mary, Alexandra, Maud and Catherine are some other considerations.
Good Luck!

I like the dutch names.
Queen Beatrix is one of my favourites and a real pretty one too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatrix_of_the_Netherlands
Her sister, Princess Margriet Francisca, was born in Ottawa, Canada, as the Crown Princess Juliana, Beatrix and another sister were evacuated to Ottawa during World War Two.
To ensure the baby’s Dutch citizenship, the Canadian government temporarily ceded a room at the Ottawa Civic Hospital to the Netherlands. Princess Margriet was therefore born a Dutch citizen on Dutch soil on January 19, 1943.
In gratitude for their refuge and the liberation of the Netherlands by Canadian troops, the Royal Family sent a gift of 100,000 tulip bulbs to the city of Ottawa. Every year a gift is given of 10,000
bulbs matched by another 10,000 from the Dutch Tulip Growers Association.
Should you see Ottawa in spring, you will see over 1,000,000
tulips lining the motorways.
The name given to the new princess means “daisy,” a flower chosen by Queen Wilhelmina as a symbol of resistance and hope in the Netherlands.
Margriet is the only royal baby ever born in North America.

Marie Antoinette of France, Maria Theresia of Austria, Sissy of Austria (short for Elisabeth), Queen Juliane and Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Queen Sophie of Spain, Queen Frederike of Greece, Queen Katharina of Russia, Queen Margarethe of Sweden, Queen Anne-Marie of Greece. Queen Paola of Belgium
And I have to say Beatrix is not a pretty one. She was probably the best looking of her four sisters, but pretty, no way.
