Names for a new arrival to the English nation.

[AussieScott]

Robert is a grand name.

[Barreldriver]

Can't go wrong with Talford, tis what my great grandpappy was named. It's supposedly a variation of Telford.

[Logan]

For other options, I'll photo a few pages of a book I have tomorrow, if I remember.

I'd certainly have a gander.

In your line of thinking, my last thought, you might do with the name of the best of Gods, Thor. Not uncommon in some places.

I have been looking over names to give to my child to arrive for some time, and have yet to even give myself a 'top ten' with which to barter with on the table with my partner. I have been using sites with (what I hope) are majority English names, but have noticed a lot seem to include non-English names.

The two I have been working off are:

and

I am at a loss as to which names I can choose. I am like a baby in a sweet shop. I have narrowed three names at best, but would like more.

Dunstan and Oswiu/Oswi/Osweald/Oswald and Beorn.

I'm stuck for ideas. Any input would be welcome, but I would hope it remains by nature Anglo-Saxon in origin.

Good luck, Blackbeard. This is always the hard part. We were lucky that I found out I was having a son after the 15week amnio was done. We had lots of time to pick out a name....and we settled on the name Derek for its strong, Germanic character.

That one organization that recreates the Early Middle Age's version of England looks fascinating to me

[Turkey]

Herbert

[The Ripper]

Oswald is auspicious name, and would be a tribute to both Osweo of TA and the less known Oswald Mosley.

[Treffie]

Dunstan is a cool name, also like Oswald which was my granddad's name/father's middle name.

[Amarantine]

Archibald & Angus, Barnaby and Gilbert.

[Der Steinadler]

depends on what it is!

[rhiannon]

Dunstan is a cool name, also like Oswald which was my granddad's name/father's middle name.

I would be partial to Dunstan
