Sibling for Astrid - ye olde names

Hi all,

I'm preggers with number two (gender unknown)and have a baby called Astrid.

Our surname is Norwegian and my husband has distant Norwegian heritage, and Astrid just sounded right with our surname (plus I've always loved the name).

Our surname starts with a vowel ("oar" sound) and I'm really keen on very old names, esp those that end in consonants.

We don't won't go Scandinavian with the next name as it would be a bit themey.

I love old/ medieval names. I am Scottish so Celtic names also good but it doesn't have to be.

Ideas I like so far-

Boy:
Lachlan
Ruan
Innes
Idris
Arthur
Edward
Hector
Archie

Girl:
Seren
Josienne
Esme
Rosamund
Evelyn
Isolde

ReginaPhalange89 · 14/09/2018 14:49

From your lists I like Lachlan, Ruan, I and idris
Arthur Edward Hector Archie are all a bit old fashioned and kind of popular now. Don't think they really to with Astrid either . Same with Esme and Evelyn , very common.

What about Morven, Mirren, Eilidh, Erin, Quinn
Boys... Angus, Logan

LeeMiller · 14/09/2018 14:38

Love Rosamund. Isolde is nice. Evelyn (and other Eve names) and Esme seem very popular at the moment so don't really have a ye olde feel for me.
