Crunchy British Names?

Name Advice
1

Looking for some name suggestions to fit the below moodboard! I recently watched the [name_u]Harry[/name_u] & [name_f]Meghan[/name_f] Netflix show with my grandma (it was so good, I’d definitely recommend it!) and though I already loved the classic names that the [name_f]British[/name_f] royal family has (as well as many other [name_f]British[/name_f] staples), I have become even more obsessed with them, so I’d love to create a solid list!

I’d describe the style of names I’m looking for as crunchy, [name_f]British[/name_f], woodsy, storybook names! I don’t really have any other requirements or vibes in mind besides those. A few examples being [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], [name_u]Arthur[/name_u], [name_f]Eugenie[/name_f], [name_f]Winifred[/name_f], and [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]!

Thank you all in advance, berries!

(These are almost all actual historical UK monarchy names - so mostly English & French with Germanic and Viking influences more so than Brit per se - which would need more Scottish & Welsh).

@cms1512 I love Walter, Louisa, and Philip for this! These are all such pretty combos!

@tallemaja Ooh, I love Araminta, Daphne, Lilibet, Roisin, Wilhelmina, Archie, Atticus, Angus, Alfie, Barnaby, Benedict, Basil, Cedric, Gud, Hugo, Linus, Osin, Percy, and Sullivan from this list! All of these are such great suggestions!

Haha, your post about a brother for Willem and Edmund is the one that inspired this list! I love those as a pair, and wanted to create a list with the same vibe, so I’m glad you liked it!

@EloiseT I love Beatrice, Diana, Matilda, Eleanor, Catherine, Frances, Adelaide, Louisa, Hyacinth, Henry, August, Hugh, Cecil, Frederick, Walter, Archie, Alfred, Oliver, Felix, Herbert, Clement, and Theodore! You really nailed this list. Thanks for the info, I didn’t realize how much it’s actually English and French names that I love more than Brit names, though I do love Welsh names as well! Thank you so much!

@Greyblue Great list! My favorites are probably Cornelia, Wilfred, Horatio, and Gilbert, but this whole list is so pretty! Thank you.

@Lauren.Ley Ooh, I love Alfie, Barnaby, Benedict, Kit, Percy, Peregrine, Willoughby, Beatrice, Blythe, Imogen, and Maude. Thanks so much!

@Hpach I love pretty much all of your suggestions. Thank you so much!

@somemelodioussonnet You nailed this! I really love Agnes, Alice, Katherine, Olive, Pearl, Sophie, Winnie, Anthony, Artie, Benedict, Edward, Louis, and Oswald! I’m always surprised when I see how much I love Anthony, so I’m so glad this helped me remember! Thanks so much!
