William! Too popular for me probably but I love the meaning “resolute protection.” [name_u]George[/name_u] means “farmer” which I also think is cute even though I don’t love [name_u]George[/name_u].

Others:
[name_u]Ezra[/name_u] - “help” (I think of this as helpful)
[name_m]Simon[/name_m] - “listener”
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] - “bear”
[name_u]Tate[/name_u] - “cheerful”
[name_u]Asa[/name_u] - “healer”
