Rosemary? and a male sibset, and Old English names.
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
Thorsteinedit: 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!~ Caitlín
