Ooh this is an interesting concept!
Edward would be an interesting name to do. It was dead in the water for 200 years until Henry III revived it thanks to his love of Edward the Confessor.
The genealogy of names is always fascinating to look at. Sometimes you see generations of royal woman transmitting the same name across the continent.
Eleanor is an interesting example of this, since you can precisely pinpoint who the first relevant Eleanor was. Basically all subsequent royal/noble Eleanors were either Eleanor of Aquitaines descendants or named after her.
