I'm not sure if all of these are saint names and they are (obviously) not all English. I think of them more as "medieval." A great resource is the Catholic saint site. Sorry I don't have the address, but it's pretty easy to google. You can look up saint names by saint day / date, or alphabetically. There's even a Saint Iphigenia! Lots of fun.
