For guys, strong traditional names tend to project people you can count upon, who aren’t so easily moved one war or another. Men who will be there when needed.

This was part of my thought process with my son's name. Also considered origin, meaning, what a nickname might be and how it sounded if/when I screamed his full name.

Took a similar thought process with my daughter, but had to compromise a bit with the ex on that name.
