my only criticism is that it isn't old-fashioned enough. if we're reaching back to old names, why not go all the way and pick a name like Ælfgifu

Too difficult for the clerk to find a keyboard with anglo saxon accomodative keyboard shortcuts.

They'd get Aelfig

Yes, please! What I'd give to see generation of Çeowulfs, Ælfgifus, Freyjas, Thorrs and Ragnars.
