Need "Medieval, Romantic, yet Classic" boys names!

[rowangreeneyes]

My best friend is expecting her first this [name]July[/name] and she found out yesterday that it’s a boy! We talked a little about names today and we’ve come to the consensus that she likes names that have a romantic, gothic, Medieval feel but they still have to be recognizable. I told her I would come up with a list for her after consulting with some professionals.

Her husband likes more classic boys names like [name]James[/name], [name]David[/name], etc. but he is willing to use a classic name of his choosing for the middle and let her pick the first. The names she likes but can’t use are [name]Dmitri[/name], [name]Dante[/name], [name]Desmond[/name], and [name]Phillip[/name]. So, give me all the names you can think of that might fit that description so I can start a well thought out list! Thanks Berries!

A while back British [name]Baby[/name] Names compiled a list of popular names in the medieval time period: Medieval Favourites - British Baby Names

[name]Do[/name] any of those stand out for your friend?

My first thought was [name]Marius[/name]. I’m super biased because I’ve loved it for like, 10 years but still, I think it works.

I’m going to try and add a few more before I present her with the list. I’m expecting her to cross off at least half right away, as I’m still feeling out her style. We’ve never really talked about baby names very in depth until now.

Oh all of these names are to die for! Written down and saved forever. Apparently this is my favorite boy name style as well. =]
