By 'old English' do you mean traditional names? Victorian names? Anglo-Saxon names?

[MaryMungo]

Annis is a lovely medieval name, if that's what you're after....

[branflake81]

By "old English" are we talking Ethelred etc?

[ConstanceWearing]

Ooh, Annis is lovely. Dammit - shall I have to have another baby ????

My DS is Lynden (alt. Linden, Lyndon). That's Old English.

[ConstanceWearing]

My teenage DD's just said Annis would be called Anus at school.

[MaryMungo]

I guarantee Annis will get an easier time of it than Gunnora, Horenga, and Sexhiue

Here's a good resource

So funny it was worth telling twice

[chonky]

Zillah or Araby for a girl?

[ConstanceWearing]

"God, Zillah!"

Maybe not!

[chonky]

having just researched Araby, I don't think it is an old english name - lol. I like it anyway .

[navyeyelasH]

Ava, Cordeila, Esme, Evelyn, Lillian, Iris for girls

George, Henry, Frank, Jack, Winston, Alfie, Archie for boys

It depends what you mean by "old english names" I guess?
