In a world where bonds are woven by connections, Hiram is the key to a realm where fraternity is elevated to a celestial art. This handsome, old-fashioned name carries a subtle incantation which bridges hearts in ways mystical and profound. Dreams shimmer like iridescent potions, and the bonds of brotherhood are threaded together by velvet-red and gold. The name invites us to trust in the extraordinary alchemy of brotherly love, where each shared secret and experience is woven into the fabric of the universe. Hiram is a symbol of the miraculous, eternal bond between kindred souls. (Really, it's a shame that it fell out of use. It's neither ugly nor pretentious -- it is simply an unseen magic.)

This is not a good name. I’m friends with a kid named Hiram. He’s really unpopular, and it might have to do with his name. Great kid, though. Just goes to show the name doesn’t always make the person.
