Possibly usable boys names from Saxon Kings.
  1. Aldred
    • Alfred
      • Origin:

        English
      • Meaning:

        "wise counselor; elf counsel"
      • Description:

        Alfred is up off his recliner! If you're looking for a path to Fred, you can go directly to Frederick or take the long way around with the so-out-it's-in-again Alfred. Alfred is quite popular in several European countries, especially England and Wales, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
    • Alric
      • Origin:

        German
      • Meaning:

        "ruler of all"
      • Description:

        Common in Sweden, Alric is part of the family of medieval sounding names, like Alaric, Casimir and Leopold that are increasing gaining a fanbase, perhaps as an antidote to the modern inventions that are becoming more prolific.
    • Ambrosius
      • Athelstan
        • Brutus
          • Origin:

            Latin
          • Meaning:

            "heavy, dull"
          • Description:

            Brutus is the quintessential brute--far too close to the word brutal. And any child with this name would spend much of his life hearing "Et tu."
        • Cenwulf
          • Cynric
            • Edwin
              • Origin:

                English
              • Meaning:

                "wealthy friend"
              • Description:

                Some might be surprised to learn that Edwin has been a consistent presence on the popular names list since statistics have become available.
            • Eadric
              • Eanmund
                • Ludeca
                  • Osmund
                    • Osric
                      • Origin:

                        English
                      • Meaning:

                        "divine ruler"
                      • Description:

                        Clad in armor. But while this name may have been forbiddingly antiquated not that long ago, the connection to the trendy nickname Os or Oz makes it a real possibility.
                    • Oswald
                      • Origin:

                        English
                      • Meaning:

                        "divine power"
                      • Description:

                        Despite the success of so many O-starting boys names--Oliver, Owen, Otis, Oscar--Oswald has not yet shown any signs of resurrection, though he does have the animating nicknames Ozzie/Ozzy and Oz. The name has some literary cred--in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Shakespeare's King Lear and a novel by H. G.Wells--and there was early cartoon character Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.

                            • Watt
                              • Origin:
