Tudor Names

[BlueMoonGlint]

What are your favourite Tudor names? Why don't we bring a few back into fashion....

I'm going to go with Prudence and Tristram nn Rammy

Or Ramram.

Eden, Emmot and Kynborow.

Quads,
Ambrose and Fulke (boys) and
Frideswide and Kynborow (girls)

Lancelot and Marion.

I love Prudence too.

Lettice

I think many names commonly used in Tudor times are doing pretty well:

Henry, Thomas, Edward, William, Arthur, Catherine/Katherine/Kate and Elizabeth.

Some are classics that were very common until recently, and will no doubt come round again before long. Thinking of names like Jane, Anne, Mary, Francis, Christopher and Richard.

Perkin

I always rather liked Arbella

And Kit

I've always liked Edmund. I know a young Humphrey.

Frideswide, Fortune and Amphelisia are perhaps a bit out there. That said, I do know a Eunice.

Most are still in circulation:

Henry
Arthur
Richard
John
Catherine
Anne
Elizabeth
Margaret

A few less common ones:
Jasper
Edmund

Fulke and Frideswide I thought were a bit early for Tudor. Tudor names, Katherine, Mary, Anne, Jane, Henry, Richard, Edward are still very much around. Lettice and Jasper are a bit more unusual.

I love Elinor.

Mary and Catherine

Jasper. I love it but DH vetoed. My best friend has used it for her little boy and I was beyond delighted!

Jennet. Cecily. Margery. Annis.

I really like all of those actually.

Agnes, but pronounced the French way. And Gwenllian.

Jasper - that is a fabulous name!

I can't see Fulke making a come back.

Some girls Tudor names I like (though I can't imagine using Wilmot for instance now - but I do like the 'ot' ending):
Agnes
Alice
Audrey
Barbara
Beatrice
Blythe
Bridget
Catherine
Christian
Clemence
Edith
Eleanor
Elizabeth
Emmot
Gillian
Gwenllian
Jane
Lucy
Marion
Parnell
Philippa
Rebecca
Rose
Susanna
Thomasin
Wilmot
