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

Lumi?

I love Rosalie

Beryl?

Caspar/Kaspar

Arianwen
Vaila

Rosalind
Madeleine
Elspeth

I love Seren and Esme from your list.

I really like Ruan and quite like Hector too

I really really like Josienne. I've never heard it before but it's beautiful

Astrid and Ingrid!

Atticus

Atticus is an old roman name, Latin xx

I love Lachlan!!

Sybil
Nerine
Marianne
Jacquetta
Marguerite
Iseult/Isolde

Oops sorry Isolde was already on your list. Well, I like Isolde

Ingrid
Rosalyn

Merlin

Just wanted to say I love the name Astrid, DS has one at nursery and I think it's a lovely name.

Lydia
Cassius

Ursula.
Edith.
Agnes.

From your list I think Idris and Isolde go best with Astrid. x

I am now in love with Ygraine for a girl.

It’s very like migraine though.

Even if pronounced Ee-graine? :-(

That’s how I pronounce migraine. Tho some people call it my grain.

I’m all for Celtic names, go for it if you like it. I like Yseult and Ywain too.

Kester or Maud

I do like I do like Ywain. I'd only seen it spelled Yvain before and didn't like cos it has "vain" in. But Ywain is nice.

Love kester but neighbours son is called that :-(

How would you pronounce Yseult? I think I like that too.

I (as in igloo) zult (as in pull).
