A variation of Brími, itself derived from the Old Norse word for "fire", this quietly used Icelandic name was officially approved as a given name in 2014. It has since been used a handful of times as a middle and first name. 
 
Pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable and a soft second one, the name shouldn't be confused with the similar Brimir, meaning "surf, surge".

Brímir

Danyl

A nature name, a word name, and an sea-inspired option, this as yet undiscovered name might just fit in with the likes of Samuel, Saint, and Sage. Used to describe a plant that grows near the sea, Samphire is grounded by popular nicknames Sam and Sammy, though Ira, Sai, or Saffy might appeal to those who prefer something more unusual.
 
The edible plant takes its name from the French herbe de Saint Pierre, which was corrupted in English to sampiere and then to samphire in the 16th century. It was named for St. Peter, the patron saint of fisherman, making this a very offbeat choice to honor a Peter (or a fisher). 
 
Samphire can be pronounced with three syllables, SAM-fie-uh, or with two, SAM-fuh, depending on regional differences, and it has yet to appear in any name data.
