I read that Lord Byron invented the name Medora (which hasn't been used much for many decades as far as I know). I'm not certain it's true, but I've seen instances of the first name and no other etymologies.- chazda

Another male nameThanks, now I know two: Cedric and Dorian."You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
