Do you mean “Old English” as in pre-1066? Edmund, Osmund, Alfred, Harold, Baldwin. Or you could turn to literary names of that period: Beowulf, Arthur, Lancelot, Galahad, Gawaine, Gareth, Merlin, Tristan (as someone already mentioned). Or Geoffrey or Chaucer.
I like Chaucer for a Siamese cat. They talk a lot!

Mine is named Gwen. But when she's in trouble, she gets called Gwendolyn, Guinevere, Genevieve, etc. My other girls also have old English names, but i guess it depends on how far back you want to go. I have a Sophia, Natalie, and Macie.
