  • Classic and dependable, this name carries decades of respectability and quiet dignity. The double "r" adds texture to the pronunciation, creating a rolling, pleasant sound. It has experienced various popularity waves throughout history, giving it both vintage appeal and familiarity. The name feels grounded and practical, suggesting someone reliable and genuine. It's the kind of choice that ages beautifully, working equally well for a toddler and a grandfather. The two syllables provide just enough length without becoming cumbersome. While not currently trendy, that's precisely its appeal for parents seeking to avoid naming fads. It crosses cultural boundaries reasonably well while maintaining its character. There's an honest, straightforward quality here—no pretension, no flash, just solid substance. For those who value timelessness over trendiness and substance over style, this represents an enduring choice that serves well across a lifetime.
