What's in a Name?

Again, as per request, here is the promised second part of the Medieval names. To see the post for the ladies, click here.

I greatly enjoyed researching these names and, because I found quite a few that I liked (but didn't want to overwhelm anyone with a long post), decided to feature at least two more Name posts centered on Medieval names. So, don't forget to stop by and visit!
