Rosemary has been growing on me steadily for the past few days, to the point that it's on my Top 10, possibly even Top 5.

---

Some names I like with it (as possible sibsets or something) include Cordelia, Beatrice, Celia, Jesse (m), and Calvin. Rosemary and Margaret would be really sweet twins, I think, with the possible nns Rosie and Maggie.

---

Another sibset that has been floating around my head today is Alfred and Aubrey (m). I like the fact that they have similar etymological roots, but don't have the same meaning or sound.

---

Also, I've been on an Old English name kick. Some new favourites:

---

Female:
Ethelinda
Cyneburga
Ælfgifu (Aelfgifu)
Annis
Beowin
Ælfwaru
Ætte
Dunnan

---

Male:
Aldred
Ælfwine
Æthelred
Bregowine
Colman
Hædde
Leofwine
Mungo - this is probably Welsh, not Old English, but I love it so!
Osmund
Thorstein

edit: for some reason my hyperlinks didn't work, so...you'll just have to trust me that I got the names that aren't on this site from reliable, historical lists of Anglo-Saxon names, because I don't have them bookmarked and I have to go to bed!
