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

Shame about Kester, it's gorgeous!

If I'd had another girl she would have been Beatrix, Cecily, or Margot.

As it is, my son's name has already been suggested

I also liked Espen, Cosmo, and Milo.

Margaery !

Greta
Ysanne

Love Cosmo, one of my favourite names.

I immediately thought of one of my absolute favourites for a girl, which has been roundly vetoed by my OH and entire family:

Idony (Id-uh-nee)

An old Norse name that was relatively popular in medieval times but is all but unheard of now. I think it's gorgeous.

Similar to Sidonie.

Skylar
Phadra
Afton

Heironymous

I quite like Idony.
I also like the name Torvi, sure one of the ‘Vikings’ are called that (Helgas sister?!?)

Someone suggested Kester which reminds me of Kester Woodseaves from Precious Bane. That book featured Jancis which is such a lovely name ( though she came to a sticky end)

Sid and Martha

Edith

Magnus too obvious?

Constance
