I stumble on names as I muddle around the forums. They aren't tried and true favorites, but they have potential
  1. Breccan

    • Origin:

      Irish

    • Meaning:

      "freckled, speckled"

    • Description:

      This Irish name of a saint from the Isle of Aran also appears in myth and fantasy fiction, giving it an intriguing, mystical air.
  2. Bronwen

    • Origin:

      Welsh

    • Meaning:

      "white breast"

    • Description:

      Bronwen is widespread in Wales, but still rare enough here to sound somewhat international — we think Bronwen is a real winner. (Note: the Bronwyn spelling is an Anglicization, since the -wyn ending is masculine in Welsh).
  3. Willard

    • Origin:

      English from German

    • Meaning:

      "resolutely brave"

    • Description:

      Unfortunate identification with an army of rats in the movie of the same name.
