i cant think of a good title
so I just watched King Arthur, the new one, and pathetic me enjoyed the names more than the movie, I ran to the website to find out all their meanings... anyways, these are the ones that were not on here:Bors - my thought, from Boris, "short" or "wolf"... lets hope wolf
Dragonet - from the slavic 'dorogo' meaning precious?
Cerdic - oddly, this name is found in the deffinition of Cedric, but has no page of it's unknown, it appears to be of unknown meaning - why is it unlikley from the Welsh 'Cedrych' as the similarity is uncanny
Cynric - likely Kendrick, from 'Ceneric', 'Cyneric' or 'Cynwrig', obviously the middle one bares the most resemblance
Jois - from Jodoc meaning 'lord'? - see Joyce
Hortens - from the Roman family name Hortensius, "garden"
Germanius - Roman form of Germanus - see German
Fulciana (f) - a derivitice of Feliciana? - see Felix
Lucan - from Lucianus? - see Lucius
Ganis - from Janus?
Woad - wade?All the above names are masculine, except Fulciana which is mentioned. I am guessing at all of their meanings, but some are clear, like Hortens and Germanius.
Curious as to your thoughts.Thanks!

For the recordI looked up Arthurian legend, and Bors and Dragonet were actual knights of Arthur's assuming he existed. So these weren't names for the movie.

i'm also at a loss for a title name... minteresting - but I can't really help you out on any confirmations. I can see how you got to your conclusions though. So that's a good thing, yeah?! :o)

links and a little moreWoad - Wade
Dragonet - see DraganMost of the names appear to be from a Eastern European reigion, perhaps close to Russia.
Some of names are meant to be Roman, specifically Hortens, Fulciana, Germanius - which would fit with their origins.
