This sounds like a alternative universe's list of kings of queens from the history of England, so I'd suggest something likeAdeliza
Edith
Lavinia
Ethelinde
Adelaide
Gwendoline or Guinevere Cedric
Canute
Osric
Harold
Albert
Arthur and Agatha are great ideas.

You seem to have my number. I remember seriously considering Adelaide at one point. When I’m getting carried away I get way too medieval (Hildegard, Walpurga, Eulalia), but I try to rein in my worst impulses. :) I have been saving this boy name for a long time. Almost gave it as a middle to my son (it is a family name), but realized I love it so much that I needed to save it in case there ever were another boy. I have spent a long time pondering, and there is nothing that has ever come close. It could be the number one baby boy name in the country, and I’d still use it! Which makes me wonder what I’d name a third? Andrew? Nicholas? Gregory? Geoffrey? I love somewhat unusual names like Benedict and Constantine and Conrad but they feel a bit much even for me. Once upon a time had considered Magnus nn Gus.
