Sibling for Astrid - ye olde names

[Shazafied]

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

Rosamund and Isolde. Agnes? Bathsheba/hepzibah? Two of my faves but make a lot of people shudder.

Torvin ?

I've just had a Victor and have lots of comments on what an uncommon strong name it is. You could spell it with a k with your Norwegian link. A couple others I loved:
Magnus
Marcus
Dominic
Emrys (Welsh)
Tudor (Welsh)
Ellis
Griffin (Welsh)

I like torvin ! The thing is it might rhyme with surname a bit , but these are exactly the kind of names I love xxx

Also forgot to say I know both an Innes and an Idris - both lovely!

And for girls:
June
Robyn
Greta
Inga
Etta
Gretchen
Liesel

Elspeth
Serephina
Gwendoline
Arabella

Rowan
Benedict
Gregory
Tristan

Hester for a girl, Hector for a boy.

Conrad or Iona?

How about Morven or Struan ?

Gytha? Freya?

Celeste

Eilidh and Astrid sounds good. Guess Torin might have the same problem as Torvin? I like Lachlan (and Lewis and Alasdair).

Emma
Beatrice
Louise
Violet
Juliet

Connor
Julian
Felix
Raymond
Eric

Boys:
Aelred
Ansel
Axel

Girls:
Liv
Hanna
Vendela

Gertrude (Gertie); Mildred. Due a comeback, no?

Innes
Arthur
Torvin
Finn

Esme
Imogen
Fiona

Edgar?

Idris and Rosalind are some of my all time favourites. Kyffin is a lovely welsh name too that goes? Torben is nice. Ludo. And for girls I love Freya, Anwen, Agatha.

Enid, Emil?

Love Lachlan and Rosamund.

How about
Quentin
Conrad
Sigrid
Cecilia

Rowena or Roland (Rollo)

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.
Guinevere
Thora
Elspeth
Morag
Viola
Iona

Alban
Cassian
Balthasar
Edmund
Muir
Edgar
Godfrey
Ambrose
Kier
Anselm
Clement

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

Hi guys some great suggestions ! Yes I agree some of my list I think I'll relive as they are common atm and not very ye olde .....
