Lately, I have been watching Downton Abbey for the first time and while I am not fond of everything that is in the show

I enjoy quite a lot of it, and one aspect of the show that I enjoy are the names of the characters.

I was wondering what are your favorite names from the show? (Aside from the character they're portrayed on)

Here is a list of names that have been used so far:

 

Violet (Dowager, Lady Grantham)

Robert (Lord Crawley, Earl of Grantham)

Cora (Lady Crawley, Countess of Grantham)

Mary (Lady Mary Crawley)

Edith (Lady Edith Crawley)

Sybil (Lady Sybil Branson [nee Crawley] and Baby Sybil)

Matthew (Matthew Crawley)

Isabel (Isabel Crawley)

Rosamund (Rosamund Painswick)

Martha (Martha Levinson)

Harold (Harold Levinson)

Rose (Lady Rose MacClure)

Hugh (Hugh MacClure)

George (Master George)

Marigold (Miss Marigold)

Atticus (The Hon. Atticus Aldridge)

Anthony (Sir Anthony Strallen and Anthony Foyle, Viscount Gillingham)

Richard (Sir Richard Carlisle Dr. Clarkson and Richard Grey, Lord Merton)

Lavinia (Miss Swire)

Albert (The Rev. Albert Travis)

Kermal (Kermal Pamuk)

John (John Drake)

Michael (Michael Gregson)

Evelyn [Male] (The Hon. Evelyn Napier)

Phillip (Phillip, Duke of Crowborough)

Patrick (Patrick Gorden)

Igor (Igor Kurgin)

Charles Earnest (Mr. Carson)

Elsie May (Mrs. Hughes)

Daisy (Daisy Mason)

Anna May (nee Smith, Mrs. Bates)

Gwen (Gwen Dawson)

William (William Mason [Valet])

Joseph (Mr. Moseley)

Phyllis (Phyllis Baxter)

Thomas (Barrow [Butler] and Branson [Chauffeur])

Sarah (Mrs. O'Brien)

Beryl (Mrs. Patmore)

Ethel (Ethel Parks [Housemaid])

Jane (Jane Moorsum)

Andrew (Andrew Parker)

Henry (Henry Lang)

May (May Bird)

Ivy (Ivy Stuart)

James ('Jimmy' Kent [Footman])

Alfred (Alfred Nugent [Footman])

Vera (Vera Bates)

Herbert (Lt-General Sir Herbert Strutt)

Joe (Joe Burns)

That is fine if you don't, I forgot to mention even if you didn't you are more than welcome to comment. But great choices! I do agree that I love many of the names.

I've never seen Downton Abbey either but there are a quite a few names I like :)

 

Ones I like for girls:

 

Violet

Edith

Sybil

Isabel

Rose

Lavinia

Daisy

Anna

Gwen

Vera

 

The only ones I wouldn't use are Phyllis and Beryl because they seem really old ladyish to me which is odd because I love Sybil!

 

Ones I like for boys:

 

Matthew

Hugh

Atticus

Anthony

Albert

Charles

William

Thomas

Andrew

James

Alfred

 

I couldn't see Evelyn on a boy anymore and Igor reminds me of Karkaroff from Harry Potter lol :)

Yes, I am not fond of Phyllis or Beryl either but I lovee Sybil as well, it is my favorite. :)

I can't see Evelyn on a boy either anymore, but it was traditionally a boy's name and it was pronounced on the show as 'Eve-lyn' instead of 'Eve-uh-lyn'.

Love your other choices as well for both boys and girls, they are great!
