Lorna is Scottish

Arthur, Uther, Guinevere, Igraine, Merlin and anything else round table related

Sabrina - goddess associated with river Severn

Tess, Gabriel - because Thomas Hardy

Silas maybe?
Keziah (not sure it's Cornish, but sounds it)
Joss / Jocelyn for either boys or girls, although I don't know why
Jago is Cornish I think although I feel it's association is primarily 'posh'

Round table Arthur etc is Welsh not Cornish
