I just had a conversation with my sister (who's baby is due tonight) and her husband about what names they will give their son. They have chosen Tyler, a name which has historically been given as a surname. Many last names came up, and I thought about what names would be more appropriate for children.

Arthur, George, Henry, Gawain, William, Richard, Edward, Corin, Uther, Jolyon, Roland, Merton, Colin, Maurice, Damian, Aragorn, Lancelot, Ralph, Armand, Rupert, Alexei, Victor, Rodolphe, Hugh, Alistair.
