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! :)
Here's a list of boy names that mean "love" or "beloved." Hope that helps.
I hope that any of these names below help you!
Anwyll
Anwyll is a Welsh name, meaning ‘one who’s loved by all’,
Apollo
Apollo means ‘strength or father of light’.
Anthony
Anthony means 'highly praiseworthy’ or 'priceless one'.
Bernard
Bernard means 'hardy or brave’.
Bertram
Bertram means ‘bright raven’.
David
David means 'beloved'.
Dewey
Dewey is the welsh variation of David and also means ‘beloved’.
Felix
Felix means ‘happy and lucky’.
Finley
Finley is a Scottish royal name and it means ‘white warrior’.
Lucius

Orion

Names meaning 'light', 'bright' , 'radiance', or something similar:
Annnd those are all I have off the top of my head.
Song related name
Carol(mostly a girl name but it can be gender neutral)
Danny(Folk song in Hebrew)
Brio (a musical term associated with lots of energy and verve)
Bell
Cooper (shaping the sound of ‘rock and roll’.)
Harper
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.
There's Akihiko (明彦), meaning "bright prince"
