In need of a medieval name for a boy or girl...

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]…[name_m]New[/name_m] to the site…first new mommy to be at age…:open_mouth:…41…
Short history…I could not have kids…and my DH. .was already…so we got “help”…and by some weird miracle…I conceived…baby was 10000% created with and out of love…If you understand. .not wanting to spoil the fun…am not going to ask about the sex…so want to be surprised. .am looking for a strong intellectual name…something that rolls of the tongue with the surname [name_m]Rooney[/name_m]. …was opting for [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]. .and love the names [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_m]Malachi[/name_m]. .even tempted with [name_m]Richard[/name_m]…hubby is still in ten minds…any ideas or thoughts? Appreciate it …hugs…[name_f]Elle[/name_f]. :-?

Oh…I am happy with only one name and surname…hubby wants a string of names…We do not want to do family names at all.

I like [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] and [name_m]Alaric[/name_m].

I don’t know Medieval names well, but here are some ideas:

[name_u]Clare[/name_u]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Judith[/name_f]
[name_f]Marcella[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]

[name_m]Ansel[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Gerard[/name_m]
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u]

Congratulations on your miracle baby!
I’m not sure exactly what you are thinking by medieval. Really, really old names? Or are you thinking more “grandparent” names? Good old classics? Well known favourites? Unusual or more common?
[name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] is super handsome. I think it would make a wonderful choice. [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is also a beautiful and timeless name. It’s always in style!

These are names that have been around for quite a long time, strong and intellectual names, and still relatively well known. What do you think of-
