HelpRe: Some medieval English girls' names (A-C)...
in reply to a message by Amphelise
Cattle? o_O
I like/love*/am intrigued by:
Alba
Alianor --If this didn't look so much like "alien" I'd love it and Alianora.
Alianora
Alice*
Aline (prefer Alina)
Alison
Aliva (Though it occurs to me that this might be ah-LY-vah, not ah-LEE-vah, like the archaic pronunciations of Maria and Sophia. I don't like ah-LY-va at all.)
Amabel
Amira* (I'm really surprised to see this in use on medieval English women!)
Annabel*
Anne
Annora
Audrey*
Auelina (not sure how to pronounce this but it looks interesting)
Caterina (much prefer Katarina* or Katerina*)
Cecily
Christiana
Clara*

When you see a u stuck in the middle of other vowels in this time period, it's generally pronounced as a v. So Auelina is essentially Avelina.
