Anglo-Saxons.net : Eadwig All-Fair Eadwig's marriage to Ælfgifu might alarm Edgar still more, much as Æthelwulf's marriage to Judith probably worried Æthelbald a century earlier: a child of the union of two royal parents might be considered more throne-worthy than Edgar himself. These three, along with Eadwig's queen Ælfgifu, probably the sister of Æthelweard the Chronicler, may all have been descended from Æthelred I. The promotion together of such a kin-group might well alarm already established powerful families, like those of Æthelstan Half King and Dunstan. As their relationship was surely known from the beginning, this was a political rather than a religious move. www.anglo-saxons.net /hwaet?do=get&type=person&id=Eadwig

Anglo-Saxons.net : Timeline: 978-979 By his first wife, Ælfgifu, he had Æthelstan (who died in 1014 and left a will, S 1503, EHD 129), Ecgberht, Edmund Ironside (who was king in 1016), Eadred, Eadwig (killed by Cnut in 1017), Edgar, Edith (who married Ealdorman Eadric after 1006), Ælfgifu, and perhaps three other daughters. (Two 12th-century sources state that Æthelred's first wife Ælfgifu was the daughter of an ealdorman, but since they name different ealdormen, Æthelberht and Thored, and it is not clear which is more trustworthy, Ælfgifu's parentage remains uncertain. www.anglo-saxons.net /hwaet?do=get&type=chron&id=978b

Zulkey.com :: Diary So again Emma of Normandy when she married King Ethelred in 1002 took the name Ælfgifu*; while, of course, the reception of a new name upon entering a religious order is almost universal even in our day. It is not strange, then, that at confirmation, in which the interposition of a godfather emphasizes the resemblance with baptism, it should have become customary to take a new name, though usually no great use is made of it. In the eighth century the two Englishmen Winfrith and Willibald going on different occasions to Rome received from the reigning pontiff, along with a new commission to preach, the names respectively of Boniface and Clement. www.zulkey.com /diary_archive_062104.html
