I love the name [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]. [name_u]Love[/name_u], love, love. Husband “likes” it but doesn’t like that it isn’t more classic. He feels like it’s harder to wear than a classic name. I’m trying to get him on board. However, in the meantime, I was hoping for suggestions that might have the same worldly, adventure feel while seeming a little more… “normal” (husband’s words)?
I definitely prefer names outside the top 100, if that helps.
Thanks in advance!

[name_m]Julian[/name_m] nn [name_u]Jules[/name_u] for [name_u]Jules[/name_u] [name_u]Verne[/name_u]?
Nothing else I can think of is classic. I feel by nature the sense of adventure and worldliness comes in part from the fact they they aren’t “normal”
