Rórdán
Wdyt? I just saw "Vanity Fair", and though I didn't really like the character, the name has been on my mind, and I also liked the nn Rórdy. According to the database, it means "little poet king". Also, can you think of any good mns?

It's spelt Rawdon in the book
And also the film. So not the same name as Rórdán. Rawdon (as a surname) would probably have come from the place near Leeds, though I'm not sure where William Makepeace Thackeray got it from.
However Rórdán is a nice name, and the nn Rórdy is cute. And it means you can use it without being reminded of the character, if you didn't like him :)

There's a family in my town with the last name Riordan, so it's kind of hard for me to picture it as a first name. It's very handsome, though something I wouldn't be able to bring myself to use.
