Help[Opinions] Re: Osbert
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
Love it.
I adore obscure Anglo-Saxon names like this -- the kind that were popular as revivial names in Victorian England and then poked fun at by P.G. Wodehouse. I have a particular love of Os- names like Oswald and Oswin, so Osbert fits right in.
My favorite combinations from your list are ones like:
Osbert Geoffrey (--> Godfrey?)
Osbert Hugo
Osbert Lionel
Osbert Nigel
What fun, what? Could Osbert's (nn Bertie) siblings fail to be Sacheverell and Eustace, Edith and Clotilda? Loads of historic fun.
