Old English names please....

[FriggFRIGG]

I don't mean William or Mary,
I'd like to hear some old English names,like Ethelbert or Elfleda...

Hmm,interesting....

Edmund is lovely.

Roland is German iirc but had the right ring to it
Bartholomew also has the right ring but isn't English
Wilfrid is the old English of Wilfred
Wilheard (who's that guy in Footloose? Is he something like that?)
Almund
Bertram -love this
Edgar
Edward
Elwin (much nicer than Edwin imho)
Gladwin - prob not use-able really but sweet
Godric
Graham - probably due a revival
Theodric

Tostig!

Athelstan, Edith, Aelfreda, Raedwald....

Also - Harold/Harald, Edward/Edmund/Edwin and Alfred

Merlin
Gwain
Arthur

Any character in a Brother Cadael book.

Bartholomew
Bertram
And Elwin all going on The List

aelfwen - girls name - met one on holiday - very sweet

Aelfwen...pronounced Alf-when or Elf-when or something else entirely?

My BIL is friends with a Jonquil (male) which may not be old English but is completely brilliant.

Malcom and Eric are pretty ancient

I love Merewen....I'm pronouncing it 'MEH-reh-win' in my head,does that seem right to everyone else?

She could be Merry for short

Hrothgar
Aethelred
Beowulf(!)

If you like the OE type then Cornish names might appeal - I think Merryn is rather lovely

Morganna

aelfwen was pronounced elf-wen. elf for short! not sure if that is historically accurate though as aelfred became alfred?

Great names! Take care about meanings though - Emmett means 'ant' in Cornish, they still use the term to describe tourists on the beach!

Merryn is lovely,already on the list,but I think I prefer Merewin...Aelfwyn is lovely too...
I do like Cornish names,Jago was a favorite,but we already have an Arlo.

I was going to suggest Ailith and Lettice. Found this when I went to check the spelling of Ailith.

Sorry don't know how to put a link in :( 500 names on that list, not sure how many are old old but a quick glance showed that there were more than a few.

imagine calling your DS Hrothgar or Beowulf!! Perhaps in north London ?

Fritha is a beautiful Anglo-Saxon girl's name. Wanted it for DD but was talked out of it.

Oooh!
Fritha is lovely

goralka I did know a (very old) Wolfie once - not sure it was from Beowulf though
