Lionhearted names šŸ¦

I love Alexander because itā€™s so bold and lionhearted, meaning I could picture it belonging to a revered chariot racer in a hippodrome while overhead a heraldā€™s booming voice announces him before a giant, leering crowd, Ć  la Ben-Hur (1959). Or it would fit the noble Peter in the Narnia books. However, I canā€™t use Peter because my sisterā€™s already called dibs.

Do you have suggestions for similarly lionhearted names? :crossed_swords:

I love this description! These names have that vibe for meā€¦

[name_u]Leander[/name_u]
[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]
[name_m]Nikolai[/name_m]

Aww, I think of Ol!iver since itā€™s my nephewā€™s name and one of my nns for him is Lionheart. :heart: I think [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and [name_m]Peter[/name_m] are greatā€¦ [name_u]Leo[/name_u] and other leonine names (Leander, [name_m]Leopold[/name_m], [name_m]Leonardo[/name_m], Leonidas) feel very lionhearted to me, too. Maybe [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_f]Rilian[/name_f], etc.ā€“other Narnian names? [name_u]Love[/name_u] @katinkaā€™s idea of [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m], too! [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] a la The Last of the Mohicans also feels very lionhearted to me.
