      "he makes rivers"
    • Description:

  2. Land

    • Description:

      One of the simplest, most down-to-earth yet evocative of the word names, which could work — especially as a middle.
  3. Gower
    • Origin:

      Welsh
    • Meaning:

      "pure"
    • Description:

      This Old Welsh name associated with blacksmiths has never caught on, but it has the right two-syllable occupational feel to qualify for revival. Gower Champion was a successful midcentury dancer, choreographer and director on the Broadway stage, in films and on TV.
  4. Pagan
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "from the country, countryman"
    • Description:

      Writer Anne Tyler gave this apt name to the hippie child in her novel Amateur Marriage, but she wasn't the first -- it was also used by the Puritans. Today it would be quite a loaded choice.
