Randomly came across a mention of Saethryd, the daughter of Gyles Brandreth, former Tory MP & TV/radio presenter. It's Old English - she's named after a 7th-century saint: http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/saethryth
and is one of three siblings:
Benet Xan
Saethryd Charity
& Aphra Kendal Alice, named after Aphra Behn: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphra_Behn

It definitely sounds old English. Like a fantasy character or something. If I knew how to pronounce it I'd be able to gauge how I felt about it better. I like Charity, it's cute. Aphra seems cool, but I don't like Kendal and Alice is meh. I hate Benet Xan. Nope.

Neato. I'm not sure I like it (yet), but definitely interesting--her name and her siblings!

Well I love Aphra. Saethryd is cool looking, and I like the combo Saethryd Charity, but I'm not keen on the sound of the name Saethryd (assuming I'm saying it even close to correctly!). Awesome sighting!!
