Sorley is an anglicization of the Irish name Somhairle, itself derived from the Old Norse Sumarliði, a nickname for a summer traveler (perhaps meaning a viking raider!). It is sometimes used as a boy name in Britain, but very rarely in the US. The similarity to the word "sorely" may put some off, but we still think it makes a jaunty, unusual surname-style option.

A daring choice with a sweet and sea-inspired meaning, Deucalion appears in Greek mythology multiple times. Most noteworthy perhaps are Deucalion the son of Prometheus, who, along with his wife Pyrrha, survives a great flood sent by Zeus, and Deucalion the soldier, killed by Achilles to avenge Patroclus.
 
Some sources suggest the name is a blending of the elements deukos meaning "sweet, sweet wine" and haliéus meaning "sailor, fisherman", while others suggest it stems from deuo meaning "drenched, wet" — both of which could work in regards to the mythology.
 
The name has appeared sporadically in the US stats since 2014, given to a very small handful of boys.
