I stumble on names as I muddle around the forums. They aren't tried and true favorites, but they have potential
- Breccan
Origin:
IrishMeaning:
"freckled, speckled"Description:
This Irish name of a saint from the Isle of Aran also appears in myth and fantasy fiction, giving it an intriguing, mystical air.
- Bronwen
Origin:
WelshMeaning:
"white breast"Description:
Bronwen is widespread in Wales, but still rare enough here to sound somewhat international — we think Bronwen is a real winner. (Note: the Bronwyn spelling is an Anglicization, since the -wyn ending is masculine in Welsh).
- Willard
Origin:
English from GermanMeaning:
"resolutely brave"Description:
Unfortunate identification with an army of rats in the movie of the same name.
