Here is a sample from Names Through the Ages by Teresa Norman.

Female names:
Aelfreda– elf strength
Agatha– pure, strength
Beatrix/Beatrice– bringer of happiness
Eadu-wealth
Edith-wealthy battle
Everild-boar battle
Muriel-sea bright
Osthryth-Gods strength
Sigga-victory
Theode-people,nation

Male names:
Adhelm-noble helmet
Beorn-warrior, brave
Cenwig-brave in battle
Dunstan-hill stone
Eadmund-wealthy protection
Eadulf-wealthy wolf
Godric-Gods ruler
Heahstan-tall stone
Tunric-town ruler
Tunwulf-town wolf

I don’t really need to say anything here, do I? I mean, really, we’re mostly adults here, we’re reasonable people – do I really have to say anything about a name that means “wealthy wolf” and sounds like chronic sinus congestion?

Baby naming bulletin boards are peppered with people like this posting massive lists of medieval Norse, or Welsh, or Celtic names and their (cough) meanings. (Any Spanish or Greek or Farsi or Korean or Aztec or Egyptian or Gabonian or Thai names? No. Just the uber-pale peoples of the world.) Hiding amongst them are always a couple acceptable names, and the rest are chorus parts from Wagner’s Ring cycle.

I’ll be honest – I have no freakin’ clue what these people are trying to accomplish.
