Neruda

Evocative of the great Nobel Prize winning poet Pablo Neruda, real last name Basoalito, who took on the surname Neruda to honor a Czech poet of that name. One of the most poetic and arty boy names starting with N, or with any letter, for that matter.

The name itself comes from the Czech nerudný meaning "bad-tempered", something which might put some people off, but amuse others.

Pronounced neh-ROO-dah.
