Hey Everyone!

I'm currently on the hunt for some boy names with sweet meanings (such as beloved, light, song etc…). My character is a prince who was named by his long deceased mother, and I know she would have chosen something with a beautiful meaning for him. Any help is much appreciated! :)

@Loaf

Maybe pick a name that seems a little boring or harsh but has a backstory behind it. Like the mother knew someone who had the name before, or they are a protagonist from one of her favourite books. Then give a small subplot of the boy finding out the story behind the name, maybe even briefly meeting the original owner or their child.
