I’m pretty behind the times. I only signed up to Twitter a year ago, I’ve never played Candy Crush, and I’m only now watching the Tudors.
I can’t decide if the only things I like are the opening theme and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. It can be pretty depressing. Every episode usually involves some poor sod being beheaded or tortured or hanged! On the plus side, it’s helping me remember who everyone is in Wolf Hall… In the interest of fairness, I shall reserve my final judgement for when I have watched every episode.
Anyway, a wee while ago I promised a list of potential character names from Celtic monarchs. Here, I’ve drawn upon Pictish, Gaelic and Welsh rulers. Because the names are much older and pretty rare nowadays, I think they suit historical or fantasy fiction, if written in English. But of course, a good name’s a good name in any genre.
