Let’s see…Geoffrey, [name_m]Roger[/name_m], [name_u]Walter[/name_u], [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m], [name_m]Reginald[/name_m], and [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] come to mind for boys. And I love [name_f]Isabel[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Sybil[/name_f], [name_u]Anne[/name_u], [name_f]Isolde[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], and [name_f]Clemence[/name_f] for girls.
(At least for Medieval England… I’m sure there are more from the rest of Europe that I love/would love, but I haven’t researched much into what names were popular elsewhere in this period.)
I realize a lot of those are classics or are considered more vintage/late-Victorian today, but I don’t love a lot of the unique Medieval choices like [name_f]Lettice[/name_f] and [name_m]Giles[/name_m].
