The name flows with a musical quality that makes it effortlessly elegant, yet it possesses an underlying strength that prevents it from feeling delicate or insubstantial. Parents drawn to this name often appreciate its ability to stand out without shouting for attention. It suggests someone who is both creative and grounded, artistic yet practical—a rare combination in today's world. The name adapts beautifully to various life stages, from the playful shortened versions of childhood to the dignified full form of adulthood. Its uniqueness virtually guarantees your son won't share his name with multiple classmates, giving him a sense of individuality from day one.
