Haha...

What about your own name? It means "great lord," which I guess could work... It's also masculine and English, so it fits.

You could also go to the home page and do a meaning search by typing in what you want to find ("brave") and clicking on the search for meanings button.

At least one missing!

Urho is missing in name themes! It's Finnish and means 'brave, courageous person' (adj. urhea=brave).
Most notable was the former prime minister and president of Finland for many terms: Urho Kekkonen, so you have the great leader angle also covered. He was also a journalist and sportsman holding the national high jump record for a while. See
