Medieval Names

-
Here are a few names given to kids born in England from 1200-1400! Most are to be expected, but there are a few surprising ones. Names are spelt as they are recorded, and interpreted as best as is possible, so names that seem misspelt might not be intentional variations but rather misspellings. Some may also be surnames used as firsts or surnames recorded accidentally as firsts.

We had Leon's name picked out for a while before he was born, and Ellis was a name we found and both loved, but we've always struggled with girls' names. We prefer names that don't have nicknames, or that don't need any. We like Elise, but it's very close to Ellis. We also like Emma and Charlotte but worry about the popularity. We've come across Noella lately, and it's sweet, but we're not entirely sure if it's right for us. Thank you! Hi! Here are a few potential options for baby #4: Camilla Sweet and independent, Camilla - the feminine form of the less-popular Camillus - has a lovely, timeless feel, just like Genevieve.
