Inspired by puck's post below... these are from this article: http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/

---

Basically, the book is a dictionary of English surnames, which references mentions of particular names. The author of this article went through and pulled out all of the feminine names and wrote an article about them. I have a copy of the original book and it's rather long so it was an impressive effort!

I've copied the names from the middle section - 1250 to 1450. Any you would use/ really like etc?
