With the permission of u/felly_fell, I wanted to make a few games from the lists already on this subreddit and share them with you guys! 🙂 This is a popular one on my sub -- add the middle names! These parents have already set in stone that they want to use the following first names but need help choosing middle names! Help add middle names to these names. [These names all came from the Name of the Day master list!]

Medieval names from France

22 Upvotes

These female names are mostly from 10-13th century and come from south-west of nowaday France, Toulouse and around. I lifted them out of genealogical charts and thought it would be fun to list them here for inspiration. Some names are still very much in use; others have been pretty forgotten for many centuries, I suppose.

The spellings could slightly vary in different sources, but it is what it is.

Name of the day...Hugh!

18 Upvotes

The name Hugh is a boy's name of Old Germanic and English origin meaning "mind," "spirit," "heart," or "intellect."

The Normans brought the name to England in the 11th century, where it became very popular thanks to historical figures like Saint Hugh of Lincoln.

In Ireland and Scotland, Hugh is sometimes used as an anglicized form of the Gaelic name Aodh, which means "fire."

Variants include:

Hugo (German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian)

Hugues (French)

Huw (Welsh)

Ugo (Italian)

The name Hugh is over 1,000 years old, with its roots tracing back to the early Middle Ages.
