Anyone who has been an onomastic herald for some time has a stash of names that they would love to see someone register some day. This page is a list of those names, all arranged in a convenient single place so when someone comes to you and says "I'm looking for a name", you can point them to it.

Anyone is free to contribute! If you have any names that you really love, send them to Aryanhwy or Constanza. The requirements are: Only elements that have not been registered before; no more than 10 per gender/country/century; elements must be fully documentable, either by providing a full citation to a no-photocopy source, or by providing a URL for a reliable webpage which provides dates or other medieval evidence for the name.
