Help[Opinions] Re: Medieval Male “A” names of the era from different regions
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
I love medieval names, too.
I just looked at the masculine ones for now since the list is so long (might comment on feminine ones later)...
Alcides / Alcide is randomly one of my favorite names recently. Alkibiades is fancy looking in comparison.
Abascantus / Abaskantos is interesting to me. So are Artizar, Auberi, Azubeli, Arioald, Ascelin, and Aligern - Alagern has been in my head lately. Arioald reminds me of Ariovalda, which I like.
I've liked Abelard and Autolycus (mainly as GPs) since I was a kid but don't remember where I first heard them - wait, actually Autolycus was the King of Thieves in the tv shows Xena and Hercules...
I like Aesop, Askell/Asketel, Athanaric, Athenodorus, Antiochus, and Aloysius as GPs. I wonder if the usage of Estel (as masculine) in my extended family was from Askell/Astell (I've seen Asketill before but not Astell; previously Estel just reminded me of Estelle and Aragorn "Estel" from Tolkien).
Aldebrand reminds me of Halbrand (aka Sauron from Rings of Power) and Aldebaran (a star in Taurus plus a fallen angel in the Book of Enoch). Alderan reminds me of Alderaan (the fictional planet) and Alder.
I like Alphaeus, Amadeus, Aeolus, Amias, Amyris, Arnold, Armand, Artemas, Artemios, Artemidoros.
Aimeric, Arsenius, and Absolon are ok, but I would prefer Emeric, Arsenio, and Absalom.
