Names that have the same meaning as my dad's and are not too unusual. Hopefully more traditional sounding names that are not overly popular.
  1. Bardrick

    • Origin:

      Teutonic

    • Meaning:

      "axe-ruler"

    • Description:

      Sounds like...a Teutonic axe-ruler.
  2. Edric

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "wealthy ruler"

    • Description:

      Formerly in style limbo, Edric has recently started to see more use by parents. It could be because it sounds medieval yet accessible - which George R. R. Martin took advantage of for several characters - or because it's an offbeat alternative to the more popular Ed-names.
  3. Harold

    • Origin:

      Scandinavian

    • Meaning:

      "army ruler"

    • Description:

      The name of the last Anglo-Saxon king of England before the Norman conquest, and a name that's long been associated with a pipe-smoking, bespectacled grandpa or uncle.
  4. Rian

    • Origin:

      Irish

    • Meaning:

      "little king"

    • Description:

      More authentic and original form of Ryan, but far less common of the two spellings in the US. There were about 170 baby boys named Rian in the US last year, versus over 4000 named Ryan.
