HelpSomerled
The name of the day today is Somerled. I have always thought this name was really cool and gives me great imagery of the medieval British isles and Scandinavia because of its origin. What are your thoughts on it.

I love the meaning, so poetic.
So romantic!
it's interesting and I like the meaning.
I am surprised that the replies here are overwhelmingly positive it rarely happens with long Germanic names.

It's nice
I think it's fabulous!
Cool name! Somerled piqued my interest because it's close to a surname in my family tree, Summerlin. It turns out they are the same name. So, I learned something today!

It feels like an old wizard name, also kinda like an allergy medication, seems pretty cool in general.
It's fascinating and quite nerdy, I like it a lot! It would suit a fantasy character, such as a wizard. I also like Somerhild and its Latinised variant - Somerilda.
