Old English boy and girl names please!

[scruffpom]

We have one dc who has a very old English name and are now expecting dc#2. Please help us with old names that you can think of. Thanks in advance

When you say very old English name, do you mean names from a few generations ago or do you mean Old English as in Anglo-Saxon names from the Middle Ages?

Sorry! To clarify I mean from a few generations ago! Thanks

Aethelstan, Ceolwulf, Hrothgar

Saexwyn, Leofgifu and (my fave, of course) Ethelswith

Aethelraed and Aethelflaed
Eadgifu and Eadwig
Aethelfryth and Aethelthryth

Honestly not making any of those up.

I really like Hrothgar, is that weird of me?

I met a young Hereward recently and thought what a good name it was.

Sorry, posted before seeing your clarification!

Some names from my family tree c 1890s:

Mahala (girl)
Alomas (boy)
Elvina (girl)
Madonna. Yes, really!
Obadiah (boy)
Silvanius (boy)

Hassled, I hope he wasn't asleep

Sorry - cross posted - ignore that as you want 20th century, probably post-war names

Try Paul, Ian, Neil, Dean, Simon

Pamela, Deborah, Donna, Michelle, Sandra

Alfred, Stanley, Albert, Arthur, Ernest.

Vera, Ivy, Maud, Peggy, Phyllis

Cyril, Cecil, Stanley, Arnold, Edwin, Aubrey
Doris, Ethel, Daphne, Agnes, Beryl, Bertha

Aethelflaed Sandra sounds quite good!

Another vote for Aethelfryth

Love this thread!

I like Wilfred, Edwin, Ivo or Niall for a boy.

For a girl, maybe Judith, Caroline, Anne or Cecily.

I was loving the Anglo Saxon name lists! Three to four gens back:
