"My tastes run to the obscure (English names), particularly medieval saint names, so who am I to judge? "

Could you give me examples? I love medieval names!

Patron Saints Index

I'm a die-hard atheist, but I adore this site for the names on it: http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/indexsnt.htm.

Igraine is not a saint. She's King Arthur's mother in the medieval tales. That's why I put the disclaimer at the bottom -- that I consider the list as a whole as medieval, more than saint names.
