After seeing Heathrow airport and thinking "Heathrow would make a nice name" I started looking up names of Hamlets. Cornwall had so many fun and quirky ones I could see them becoming the new "Hunger Games" contestants or the residents of a mythical land. Or perhaps a baby's name, for the adventurous.

"hill"Description:
Brynn outshines the original Welsh Bryn in the popularity stakes. This simple, brisk name might be seen as a combination of Bree and Lynn, an androgynous-sounding choice that especially in this spelling is not truly unisex: Brynn, for boys, is not even in the Top 1000.

Description:
Cardin is a masculine name with multiple origins. It can be derived from the Scottish and Irish surname Cardin or Carden, ultimately from Gaelic roots meaning 'from the woodland' or 'from the black hill.' The name also has connections to the French surname Cardin, as popularized by fashion designer Pierre Cardin. As a first name, Cardin has a modern, sophisticated feel while maintaining Celtic heritage connections. The name has gained modest usage in recent decades, appreciated for its strong consonant sounds and straightforward pronunciation. Cardin fits well with contemporary naming trends that favor surname-inspired first names and two-syllable options for boys, offering both strength and style.
