  • Strength distilled into four letters and a single, decisive syllable This Anglo-Saxon surname-turned-first-name carries historical weight and masculine authority The hard consonants create an impression of reliability and steadfastness that softer names cannot match It's concise, memorable, and requires zero explanation—a refreshing quality in today's naming landscape Parents drawn to this choice often value tradition, simplicity, and no-nonsense practicality The name feels both vintage and timeless, never quite belonging to any particular era It suits serious-minded parents who want their child's name to project competence and trustworthiness Professional settings welcome this name's brevity and clarity Consider how it stands apart from elaborate modern constructions through pure simplicity The single syllable means no nickname derivations, which appeals to those who want their chosen name used consistently It's understated yet powerful, quiet yet commanding—a study in efficient naming that proves sometimes less truly is more.
