What do you think is the best name, meaning wise only.
For example, my favorite meaning for a name is [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]. (Heart, daughter of the sea)

Okay, this is not at all deep like the previous ones, but I love [name_m]Orson[/name_m] and [name_f]Ursa[/name_f], meaning “bear” :sweat_smile: I just think it’s a cute meaning, with nice nicknaming options.

Oh!! And I love [name_u]Auden[/name_u]’s meaning of “old friend.”

My favourite name for a girl is also [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] :heart_eyes:
(I love that this name is popping up so often lately)

I’m a sucker for any oceanic names, and second to that, meanings that lie in nature. [name_f]My[/name_f] son’s name is [name_u]Beckett[/name_u], which means ‘[name_f]Bee[/name_f] Cottage’ :honeybee:
