i would love to see a boy’s entry for lilian! according to btn, in 2006 it reached its peak at #60 in france.
just realized we don’t have an entry for boreas, the name of the north wind in greek mythology, and thought that was an oversight! although they’re less well known, you could also add notus and eurus, the south and east winds respectively ~

[name_u]An[/name_u] old neighbor of mine just had a baby boy named Kells, which fits the surname-name vibes of names like [name_u]Brooks[/name_u] or [name_u]Hayes[/name_u] while also integrating similar sounds to Kellen/Kellan. It also has religious and geographical connections.
Zarek is a zippy Z name that comes from a short form of [name_m]Belshazzar[/name_m]. It appears to have Biblical roots as the son of [name_m]Nebuchadnezzar[/name_m], and it looks like the meaning is “God protect the king”
Shael, it’s one of my fave boy names of 2023,
héloria / éloria
also: hélorie, élorie (rarer)
saw this in a french names forum and kind of fell in love with it. i believe that the english variant is ellory / elory or heloria without the accent. this is a variant of hilary! it has the silent h because again it is french, so it would be eloria.
it can also mean generous from old english, which then makes it not a variant of hilary.
Love this, especially these variants
