There's something compelling about names that carry subtle sophistication while remaining relatively uncommon in many regions. This choice offers international appeal with particular resonance in Celtic traditions, yet it translates well across various cultural contexts. The compact structure belies its substantial character—short names often project confidence and directness. Pronunciation may require brief explanation in some areas, which can actually become a conversation starter and memorable feature. The name possesses an understated elegance that avoids flashiness while maintaining distinctive presence. It works exceptionally well for parents seeking something less common than mainstream choices without appearing contrived or overly unusual. The single-syllable nature makes it punchy and memorable, easy to call across a playground or introduce in professional settings. There's a certain quiet strength inherent in its sound and structure. This name ages remarkably well, equally suitable for a toddler, teenager, or distinguished professional. It represents a thoughtful choice for parents who appreciate names with cultural depth and subtle sophistication.
