Looking for Charrie names

[dominicmonaghan]

I would have posted on the other thread, but I didn't want to wind up using the same names as someone else. I'm writing a medieval fantasy book, and need names that people can actually read and pronounce. Any suggestions would be good. Name generators don't seem to work in my favor.

I don't think I could pull names off the top of my head right now... but...
I think your best bet would be to use two syllable (maybe some three) names for your characters, because generally those are easier to pronounce than something like... Klaofjewdshjejnenkjsdfsdaaf which might have a million letters and would confuse people too much for them to care what it actually says.

Lodewijk or Louis
Karel/Karloman or Charles
Dagobart (I really don't know this one in English)
Hendrik or Henry
Wilhelm/Willem or Giovanni (Italian) or William
Cesare Borgia (Italian pope)
Balthasar
Maxim/Maximiliaan
Maurits or Maurice
Michiel or Michael
Richard/Robert
Leopold
Theodor
Koenig/Koenraad
Philippe or Filip
Darius

I hope this is useful to you some how.... Goodluck writing
