    • Description:

      Lupin is an unusual flower name with roots in Old French, from the Latin lupinus, meaning "pertaining to the wolf". In the literary world, it's the surname of Remus Lupin, a popular character in the Harry Potter franchise and a werewolf.
  2. Remus
    • Origin:

      Latin, meaning unknown
    • Description:

      Remus is one of the legendary twins who, with brother Romulus, founded Rome. An unusual yet classic name for the extremely adventurous who can put aside the stereotyped image of Uncle Remus. Though because of that "ream" first syllable, we prefer Romulus.

      "of the sea"

      "tranquil"

      Pacific is an adventurous kind of place-name, with the added bonus of the association with peace.
  5. Roarke
    • Description:

      Roarke is a strong masculine name with Irish and Gaelic origins, derived from the name Ruarc or O'Ruairc, meaning 'champion' or 'famous ruler.' This powerful name carries connotations of strength, leadership, and heroism. Roarke gained some recognition through fictional characters in literature and television, adding to its appeal as a distinctive yet accessible choice. The name has a bold, commanding sound with its strong 'r' consonants and decisive single syllable. While not among the most common names in popularity rankings, Roarke has maintained steady usage among parents seeking an Irish-influenced name with a contemporary feel and strong character associations.
  6. Somerled
    • Origin:

      Norse, Scottish Gaelic, “summer traveler”
    • Description:

      A rare and evocative name which calls to mind warm, endless summer days. This is an Anglicized form of the Old Norse name Sumarliði, also found in Scottish Gaelic as Somhairle (pronounced SO-ar-lee). The Sorley spelling is now more popular in Scotland.
  7. Zephyr
    • Origin:

      Greek
    • Meaning:

      "west wind"
    • Description:

      If you're looking for a name that's light and breezy, this could be it. A name from mythology: Zephyrus/Zephyr was the Greek god of the west wind, and with its similarity in sound to the likes of Stefan or Seth, its zippy Z initial and cool Y, it is primed to rise up the US charts.
