Guilty Pleasure Names

Names I love (or by which I am strangely intrigued) that I wish I were brave enough to use. Perhaps in the middle spot? Sigh...

Deliverance

Eilonwy

Elessar

Sepia

A literary word name, now synonymous with Shakespeare, Bard also refers more generally to a poet, particularly one who recited epics and traditional poems out loud. Similar in sound to Bernard, Barnaby, and Ford, and similar in style to Quill and Poet, Bard hasn't appeared in the US stats since the late 70s. With the release of the 2026 movie, <em>The Odyssey</em> however, it may gain more attention, after Travis Scott played the role of "Bard" in the film.
