Our family is in a difficult spot as we welcome our unexpected third child. My marriage is at best tenuous and my daughter and son are apprehensive about the coming baby boy. I would love a list of names that have a really positive, uplifting meaning.
Some names I like are:
[name_m]Corwin[/name_m] - purely for the supposed meaning (“heart’s friend”)
[name_m]Evander[/name_m] (“good man”)
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] (“dove”)
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] - for the mythological symbolism
Can you help me find more?
Thank you so much!!
