Katy Bednarski me too! Isn’t it pretty!

Elswyth was definitely my favorite. For twins you could always go with Elswyth and Elowen. 😊

What a great list of names - I love how you always come up with such unusual name lists and provide so much background detail on each name. I never miss a Baby Name Monday - absolutely love them! How about a Celtic baby name list? There are some GORGEOUS Celtic names that I reckon you'd love - Saoirse, Caoimhe, Mhairi etc...

Ahhh so happy you've done this list! I suggested it ages ago after watching the Last Kingdom and loving all the old names.

SJ could you do American inspired names? My husband and I have lived in America since we got married and are moving back to the UK. Would love a name with a nod to our time here in the US 😊

These are good for fantasy book character names honestly I love them!

What a brilliant list! It’s fascinating to get a glimpse of Anglo-Saxon culture via these beautiful names. I like Torr & Oslac best & Elswyth is lovely as well. Wonderful job, SJ! ❤️❤️😊

Eldwyn is so lovely! The "wyn" ending looks very Welsh and typically the "y" makes it masculine! I love it. That's awesome.

My grandfather was Wynn and I named my daughter Elowyn. Very similar to Eldwyn which I love as well. ❤️

I love the name Elowen/Elowyn, but I got a hard pass on it from my husband. :( @SJ Strum - I would love it if you did an Elvish-esque name list! I feel like Elowyn definitely falls into that category.

I love love love The Last Kingdom and Anglo Saxon history with my whole being

My puppy is called kipp 😂😂 it always reminds me of the biff chip and kipper books from being a kid, but it was my nephews that named him

Wow, sweet! So many decent names i have never heard before! 💕💕💕

I LOVED this list!!! I think it wud be cool to do a part 2!!! 😉 😉 😉 Also I loved the A and E names they were all beautiful! I also loved Elswyth!!! 😍

I absolutely loved this theme of baby names and is one of my favourite to date! There were so many names that I loved but I think my favourites were Oslac and Arleigh!

my name is actually an Anglo-Saxon name. Landry means “ruler of the land” and i absolutely love it. it was a rarer name in the US in the early 2000s but it’s getting increasingly popular.

What a gorgeous vlog - love all the name choices. Would love to be entered into the competition.

Subscribed and enter! Such a gorgeous giveaway 😍 Love your baby name Monday’s! Great to hear names I’ve never heard of xx

I love Elswyth and Ellowyn (I’m watching from Canada)

Eadlin 😍 wish I'd have heard this name it would have been a contender 🤦‍♀️

Aelswith (or Ealhswith) means Strong Temple. Ealh means temple, and swith means strong.

Oslac - reminded me Kıpçak when I first heard haha - really handsome name Alodia - as a lover of Elodie I think Alodia is gorgeous Domino - it's Latin then Greek - I think might be brought by Romans to the Britannia Doretta - better than Dorothea and Dorothy for me Holt - I don't know why but my phone associated Holt with Renfrew ? He knows things I don't know Kipp - Kip or Kıp (as in Kıpçak - has the ae sound in Michael) means lucky in Turkish so I love Kipp a lot

I have a daughter named Arleigh-rose she’s 3 and we have never met another Arleigh :)

I love the name Aelfwynn. I know it's out there but I adore it. Aelfwynn was the Ruler of Mercia.

My favorites are Oslac, Doretta and Alodia. 😘

I need to get my husband to agree to Sheply. I've been trying to figure out how to work in my mother's maiden name Shepherd but don't like that name as a first name. This is perfect!

Doretta!! It’s a perfect fit for our mega crush on “Etta” as a nn. Cool collection SJ ( as usual) Holt is also super cool! Love Mondays!

SJ could you do a Welsh baby names list? Would love to hear some of the meanings behind the names :) thank you xx

I have been so excited to watch this and I finally have 5 quiet mins! The loom is gorgeous! Would love to be entered please Xxxx

My week now only starts after baby name monday ! I absolutely loved Evelina's homemade loom (I don't know how to say in english :/ is it loom ?) with pretty cherry blossoms on it (my favorite) and your girl's name is BEAUTIFUL. I saw one of those from a brazilian youtuber, it has "Anne Liv" on it (her babygirl's name) and I loved it. Love homemade things. About the names...how beautiful is Oslac ? And Holt ? Such strong beautiful names. Also Doretta is now on my list, think I mentioned how much I love female names ending with "A", also sounds vintage so yeah...perfect ! I love the tv shows you mentioned, I'm obsessed with medieval things so I hád a blast with this vídeo. And I have a question ! How traditional is the name Ethel there in England ? Cause every english/medieval tv show I watch has a Aethel(something) and I just think is beautiful. Kisses from Brazil, SJ xx

Elswyth and Quenna are definitely my favourite ones!! ❤️

I named my black and white cat domino as a child! Love the idea of giving your child emblem, didn’t consider it with my babes. Never heard of Elswyth before it sounds gorgeous and dreamy 😍 Know a handsome little Shepard he’s mostly a shep for now.

That isn’t a loom! It’s embroidery. A loom is something you weave on xx

I love this list. I'm from Kingston, which is widely said to be where England began. The 7 Saxon Kings were crowned on the Coronation stone still present in the town today. I therefore absolutely love the idea of incorporating a proper Anglo-Saxon name somewhere in my childs name to reference where I am from. I really love Aelswith and Alodia for a middle name. The boys names are a bit more of a struggle; I though Holt was great, but I'm not sure it fits my style. I was leaning towards Kipp but then you mentioned the background so Kipp is now out the window :)

Holt is my favorite! I texted my husband, even though we are done having children haha, and asked him if he liked it haha!

What fun suggestions, 'Alodia' is very pretty. You asked in a previous posting for ideas for future selections - how about cool sounding place names? I've recently heard of a 'Nara', which is somewhere in Japan, Eva Longoria has just named her baby 'Santiago'. What do you think?

There are some fun Anglo-Saxon names from old literature. Wealtheow, Hygd, and Modthryth are all women mentioned in Beowulf.

Torrs watch is a watcher tower along the ice wall in game of thrones. Authors and their name research always surprises me 🥰

Such a unique list! Eadlin is a beautiful name 💜

Some really nice baby names there. I do love the name Holt. I think it sounds very American actually. Really liked Elodia, thought it sounds very similar to Ellodie which I love and also liked Eadlin too and thought that was a nice alternative to Edie, another name I love!

Who would have thought an 'innocent' word like Kip would have that kind of background! Love your digging on finding the meaning of names!

I love Saxon itself as a baby boy name, it's so strong and unusual. You put so much effort into your videos, I've been subscribed since the beginning and look forward to being entered into the giveaway! Take care lovely lady xxxx

Some of these names are gorgeous! Alodia and Elswyth are so cool. Eadlyn is the name of a book character and I'd never really liked it, but I think it's growing on me. Subbed and enter please!

Eadlyn is almost like my cousin’s name Edlyn just with a different “e” sound

I like all the girl's names especially!

Picked Charlotte for my baby’s name from the nickname Charlie from one of your videos thank you!!

I absolutely love your baby name videos! I tend to adore baby names that start with an E lol, so I was excited to hear some in this video. My cousin is called Kip and I have a family friend named Shenna. xxhugs!! :) ♡♡♡

My first Daughter's name is Dominica, pronounced Do-MIN-ick-a. It is an ancient Latin name meaning "belonging to the Lord". We occasionally use Mika as a nickname meaning "Child of God"

Oslac is an ADORABLE name. Sounds like a viking. ⚡

Oh my goodness, that embroidered loom is STUNNING! I love it so much. The only name that I had heard of is Joss, which I love short for Joscelin on a boy (and am adding it back on to my list, actually!). Did you receive my little video clip..? Sorry it is so late! xx

Your baby name videos are very interesting I always watch to see if you mention the name Quin (I have a 7 month old baby boy named Quin) and tonight you did although it was just a quick nod. You said that it is cool and popular at the minute and I just wondered where you got this from. As I thought it was quite high up on the baby boy list. I have a son called Noah so when choosing Quin's name I wanted something different xx
