I love that you have both Remus and Lyall. The Harry Potter character Remus Lupin’s dad is called Lyall Lupin. I just love the irony of that.

Thanks! Harry Potter is definitely the reason I started liking those names lol. Now I mostly just like them for their look and sound, but the characters are pretty good associations/namesakes.

I like Darwin! I just wish the name weren't so associated with Charles Darwin.
And Pollux - another GP because people always say it sounds like bollocks
And Sylvan, which is usable IMO.I made a poll several years ago that included Arden, and people said they thought it was better as a guy's name.
https://www.behindthename.com/polls/248080 That's weird to me ... anyway I posted a new poll
https://www.behindthename.com/polls/294928 ... I'm on the fence about Arden. I think it's feminine and I kinda like it, but then I think it sounds like "harden" and I'm not so sure.

I kind of wish Darwin wasn't so associated with Charles Darwin too. I'm totally fine with the association, I just wish he wasn't the first thing that comes to people's minds when they hear the name.I luckily don't have the bollocks problem with Pollux since it's not a word that's used here. It's unfortunate that a lot of people think it sounds like that though :/That's interesting that a lot of people preferred Arden as a boy's name. I don't know why but it seems more feminine to me. I'm also not sure about it because I think it kind of sounds like "hard on"... but I have a lot of trouble finding girl's names I like so that was all I could come up with lol.
