Women’s Names- Bree, Rohan and Dale

This is a list of names drawn from history suitable for the Women folk of Bree, Dale and Rohan. Some of the names may make the GM’s think twice- I’ll leave it up to you to decide which they are.

Women of Bree

These are all English or Anglo-Norman names taken from census and tax documents in England from 1300-1500. They are a mix of common names and archaic forms of names, some of which sound very strange to modern ears, but are perfectly acceptible for use in game.
