We are looking for something out of the ordinary with some kind of meaning. Perhaps a character from a story, someone from history, or an author. Any suggestions will be helpful! Thanks!

My son's name is Emerson after Ralph Waldo Emerson. We get a lot of compliments on the name. RWE is buried on Author's Ridge outside Boston next to Nathanial Hawthorne and Henry David Thoreau and I like both of those names as well. We also liked Silas (as in Silas Marner), Beauregard (for several links, from literary to the Civil War General).... I'll do a list of others that may get you thinking:
Spencer
Chase
Parker
Camden
Hunter
Ethan Allen
Pierson
Prescott
Ian
Samuel
Sawyer
and so on...most of these were from book characters or authors, as my husband and I read constantly and have thousands of books. But Emerson was tops in our book :-)
hope this helps for first or middle names! congrats!

My favorite story was an old british story from the 1800's that my grandmother passed down to us when we were little, it had been in the family for ages, the characters names were Kirby, Gideon, and Vincent. All of them very british names, and kind of neat sounding! Good luck! ( I also like the name Cord which was a character in one of Jane Austen's novels)!

How about "Tihstaei" is a French name. Pronounce as Tee-shay. It means the "Magnificient Legend Warrior", it's name of the historical French movie, this was about the Prince of France in the 5th century, who victoriously defeated the Roman Empire.
I hope I have contribute some efforts.
