Sorry guys. I did mean medieval. Just was in a hurry and didn't check the spelling. And no I'm not dyslexic! I just made a mistake! My bad! Thank you for the suggestions though! I'm glad my post could be the humor of some of your day!Thanks

As I said, my spelling us atrocious. I have spell-check in my browser, otherwise I'd be up a creek. People tease me all the time and I don't mind. I hope you didn't take offense.

The only one I really like is Elena, and it's hardly what you think of when you think "medieval". I guess I'm not a fan of medieval names.

Names I'm pretty sure are medieval, that are still usable IMO:
Cecily, Edith, Millicent, maybe Josian
Valentine, Edmund

Josian is really cool.I like it. Love Edith, wish I could get Alexander to like it.Edmund is actually pretty cool. I'm not sure why we haven't considered that.

Hey folks, stop it now...Maybe this girl is dyslexic and feels bad about it.

OT: Is that your cat in your profile?What an amazing picture! It's the perfect passive-aggressive blend of seeming friendliness yet showing the fangs at the same time. :-)

Too bad. He or she does look awfully sweet despite the fangs.

Well, we can hope that she's not also so narcissistic that she thinks people are disrespecting her personally for making an error, and that she realizes they're just having fun with it.It'd be rude to disrespect her personally for an error, anyway, regardless of whether she had some disorder that made her a persecuted and misunderstood minority.ETA as you can see from her post above, she really is a grownup and does not take it personally.And since I was so classlessly confusing, I'll clarify ... I meant that any condition she might have, is irrelevant to whether or not someone is treating her cruelly. We don't PITY people with dyslexia - do we?

wait... what? I'm trying to understand you comments, but not only do you seem to contradict yourself, you come across as victim-blaming. Real classy, dude.

I know. Xander posted before he realized it had gotten out of hand, mainly because of his love of Evil Dead.

Yes, you do.Calling someone a douche-canoe is far worse than playfully joking about a misspelling.I honestly think you're just trolling to rile things up, or you're the original poster who trolled us with the original post and are now continuing to try to upset people by using the term douche-canoe.

Douche-canoe doesn't even make any sense

My picksGoing off memories and random names from s-gabriel...*Richenza. This is a favorite of @Bear's and I like to think of it as a feminine form of Richard. God, it's pretty, isn't it? I only forget about it because I get so annoyed at it not linking to the database when all the other names are.*Ermengarde. I don't know why this is the only spelling I like of this name, but boy do I ever like this name. But I like it mostly for its ties to my own - Emma is derived from Ermen, and "garde" has cool implications, meaning-wise... its cognate is "guard," which can translate to guarded land or garden, which are kind of the same thing. It ties the meaning of the name down to the earth, to physical territory. This is something that's usually lacking in my own life, so I really enjoy this name.*Berengar (m), Berenguela, Berengaria - just think these names are so cool, shame they're almost totally unused now.Those are all I can remember, I guess they were my favorites. Let's see sgabriel's names now. I'll pick the English ones because I speak English so they're most relevant to me.*Thomasine - man, I wish this name were more common! What a cool name.*Angaret - wow, this is pretty! http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/reaney.cgi?Anchoret Anchoret is also wonderful, and Ankharet.*Eileve - this is a puzzler. http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/reaney.cgi?Aileva I'd love it if someone could make heads or tails of this pretty name*Orabilis - http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/reaney.cgi?Orabel*Quenild - pretty, right? A nice solution to never liking any Q girl names. http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/reaney.cgi?Quenild

You wouldn't have any trouble picking a name to participate in my goofy pastime, would you! :DI don't know much about the origins of Eileve, but I have a friend whose wife's SCA name is Ayliffe, basically the same name.Adding: I took a unit on Tudor history at school and while I was reading up for it I encountered a version of Thomasine, Thomeson, which I found really attractive for some reason. From there I made up Tomassyn, which breaks all the rules I have for names but I still like it!

Oh Tomassyn is lovely! I also like Thomasyn a lot. Urgh, I'd love to take a unit on Tudor history. I wish I hadn't repressed my Anglophilic tendencies for so long, I feel like I wasted all of my extra credits in undergrad.Hah, yeah, I'd have a hell of a time. Ermengarde would be the easiest pick, but - well, too easy, of course! Ayliffe is nice, too. I like how bendable the "rules" are in these old names.

Medieval sounds nothing like mid evil in my accent, I was pretty confused for a while. I pronounce it phonetically.
