Choji

A cute Welsh name with a strong meaning. This was the name of a 6th-century Welsh saint who founded Caergybi, or Holyhead in English. 

Welsh pop start Ian "H" Watkins and his husband welcomed twins named Macsen and Cybi in 2016.

Cybi

A name from ancient Welsh literature: in the poem The Gododdin, the three leaders of the ill-fated army were Cynon, Cynri and Cynrain. To that end, the name might have been invented for poetic effect, although there are several Welsh names ending in -ri, meaning "king". Alternatively, it may be a form of the Anglo-Saxon name Cyneric.
In any case, this could be an unusual name choice that's vaguely reminiscent of Henry, but it may prove burdensome to explain the pronunciation.

Eeli is a Finnish male name that serves as a variant of the Hebrew name Eli, meaning "height" or "elevation."

The name carries a gentle strength with its simple two-syllable structure and melodic quality.

Eemeli is a Finnish masculine name derived from the Latin name Aemilius, which means "rival" or "emulating." It's essentially the Finnish variation of Emil, a name with widespread usage throughout Europe. In Finland, Eemeli has enjoyed consistent popularity, especially since the late 20th century. The name gained cultural recognition through Finnish author Astrid Lindgren's character Eemeli in children's stories (known as Emil in other languages). Eemeli carries a friendly, approachable quality with its soft sounds and rhythmic pronunciation (eh-meh-lee). Outside of Finland and other Nordic countries, the name remains relatively uncommon, giving it a distinctive character while maintaining its European roots.

Eemeli

Eemi is a masculine Finnish name that functions as a diminutive form of Eemil or Eemeli, which are Finnish versions of Emil. The original name derives from the Roman family name Aemilius, possibly meaning 'rival' or 'emulator.' In Finnish culture, Eemi has a friendly, approachable quality while maintaining a distinctly Nordic character. This short, accessible name has gained modest popularity in Finland but remains largely unknown internationally, making it an intriguing option for parents seeking something unique yet easy to pronounce. The name's brevity gives it a modern feel, while its Finnish heritage provides cultural depth and meaning.
