:heavy_plus_sign: : Has the same flowy rhyme as trendy names like [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] and [name_m]Meridian[/name_m], while maintaining a unique spelling style. Has a fierce and powerful edge to it, like a guy who’d be great at archery or hurdles. :blush:

:heavy_minus_sign: : I don’t really have one to think of other than the fact that this name hasn’t been marked on the database as unisex…yet. :performing_arts:
