Hey guys, I'm looking for a good English type of name. Between 12-16th century old, it could even be European. I'm writing a short story that takes place in medieval times - Nothing fantasy or anything like that. Reason for I'm asking for a good name on here because all those generators/yahoo's suggestions are garbage of options. I'm just looking for a good large selection of cool/badass sounding names for a medieval knight I could use in my story. It'd be great to see some cool ass names, thanks :)
His persona - Serious, Loyal, Steadfast, and always stern. He keeps to his chivalric code.

Most of these would suit an earlier setting, 9th-12th Centuries, but some would have currency far beyond that.

Assuming you are OP, surnames of the sort with which we are familiar were quite unusual until the 14th/15th centuries.
Most noblemen would be distinguished from others of the same name by reference to their land holdings Rainulf of Aversa.
There were familial names - for example Bohemond, Tancred, Roger Guiscard were all members of the de Hauteville family - but again this is because their common ancestor, Tancred, was the lord of Hauteville in Normandy. Hence, de Hauteville.
Guiscard - is not a surname, but an epithet, meaning 'the Crafty' or 'the Cunning'. Other examples would be Henry the Lion in Germany for example, or Richard the Lionheart. These were reasonably common distinguishing marks.
So, surnames in the way we would be familiar with are appropriate to a late age and would look out of place earlier on. It really depends upon when precisely you wish to set your tale.
