Oh, scratch that, Mark was Tristan's uncle that married Isolde.

I prefer Lynette (not on your list, but Arthurian-legend character nonetheless) out of all Arthurian-legend names. Isolde and Tristan I like too, but that's just because I'm a big fan of Tristan und Isolde.

Actually, come to think of it Kay's not bad, and neither is Gareth. But Geuinevere, on the other hand, bothers me to no end. What an awkward literary character to name your kid after.

I love Tristan and Isolde. Not for the story, but actually for the names, but every time I see the pronunciation of Isolde, it's something different. They're the only ones on that list I would use (but probably not together -- that is because of the story).

Emmeline is gorgeous. There's a minor character in Tom Sawyer with the name.

I just heard of Iseult yesterday, because of the Tarkio song.

I would actually use:
Arthur
Gareth
Guinevere [<3333]
Tristan [Altough I go through phases of loving it, and then not liking it at all!]

I love the stories behind the names, and the images I have when I hear these names, but I'd never use them, but I would if I could, haha:
Galahad
Lancelot
Gawain
