Before you embark on your journey as an apprentice, you should select a proper name from the Renaissance time period. To help you, here are a list of names for males and females from the Elizabethan Period. These are just suggestions to get your "juices" flowing. You can also pick an Renaissance Period name from another country such as Italy, Germany, France, the Netherlands, etc. But remember that they must be historically accurate. If you find and chose such a name be sure to add it to the Name Board so we can include it in this list in the future. Choose wisely - This will be the name that you are called during the weeks of this project!
