Could be a modern virtue... or perhaps not for the parents!

This fabulous Indian name comes to us via nineteenth century Indian author and reformer Behramji Malabari. Malabri devoted most of his life to advocating for the rights of women and girls and to trying to end the practice of child marriage. His reporting of cases of child marriage was crucial to the eventual adoption of a legal age of consent - not only in India but in Britain too. Feminist options for boys are all too rare, unfortunately, but this is a fabulous choice.
