Namespiration: Names of Hamlets in Cornwall, U.K.

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.

Penrose – an ancient locational surname derived from several villages in Cornwall, Wales, and the Welsh border country of England – might work as a first name, although the "Rose" syllable might lead the uninitiated to assume it's a female name. As a middle name, however, it would make for a surprising and distinguished choice. A male Penrose could be called Pen/Penn, Ross or Roe for short.

In French contexts, it relates to 'rame' meaning 'oar' or 'rowing,' suggesting strength and direction. Some connect it to the Arabic name Rami, meaning 'archer' or 'one who throws,' with this variation offering a unique spelling. The name's brevity makes it appealing for parents seeking something short yet meaningful.
