Old English boys names

[coldtoe]

It's very early days here but I love thinking of names. Too early to discuss out loud somehow (!) but maybe I can get my baby name hit here.
I like Blake and Ned - names which are 'real' old English names but not the William, George, Harry type - lovely as they are.
What else might I like? Met a Mav recently which I like in theory but wouldn't use.

But Ned is a shortened version of Edward (which is becoming v common round here) and Blake isn't that traditional either

I thought you were going to suggest Aethelred or similar

I love Geoffrey but it's a bit out there.

Roland and roger too but I think they might be French in origin

Ned wouldn't be Edward, just Ned as full name. It's not traditional names I like necessarily, it's slightly quirky short names which have an older feel to them than Rex or Zac for example.
What is popular round your way Families - Edward or Ned as a nn?

Edward and Ned are both popular here - like Albert and Bertie are too

Really Old English, ie. Alfred, Ethelred etc.? Gavin, Colin, John, Piers, Will, early modern sort of thing?

I really love Edmund and would use Ned as a nn for that.

My Grandfather was William Readman. Readman is a Norse name.

Names on my family tree from 1700-1800s include:
Seth
Amos
Nathaniel
Louis
Plus the usual hundreds of Williams & Georges.

Ned is a gorgeous name but I would probably use Edward as a given name & keep Ned as a nn

Bit biblical but I have (in family tree, not dc) an Amaziah & a Moses.

Girls names? Mercy, Mae.

Gawain
Beowulf

All the Eds Edmund, Edwin, Edgar, Edward are all rooted in Old English as are Alfred and Stanley.

Yes, Ned in Scotland means hooligan.

And allegedly stands for Not Employed and Delinquent...

How about Athelstan?

A friend of mine had a 'Wilfred' recently - I think old English and I love it! I love Nathaniel too, but dh won't have it!
