Shakespearean Names (for boys!)

Hey! I am sorry for not posting as recently as I used too, but I will try and get back on track. Anyways, let's continue with Shakespearean name for boys!

Jacques- This is a name from As You Like It. It's a gorgeous French name meaning 'supplanter'! This name was most part in the 1970s and has dropped just as quickly as it had risen.

Edmund- Although this name is better known for a character in The Chronicles of Narnia, it's also a character in King Lear. It's a classic English name meaning 'rich protector'. It was very popular in the early 20th century, but dropped very slowly.

Lancelot- You may think of this name as a knight in an Arthurian legend, but it's also a name featured in Merchant of Venice. It's an awesome French name which means.... wait for it.... 'land'. Didn't see that coming did you?

Dion- This name was most popular in the 1970s, and then made a sharp drop in 2005. Anyways, this name means 'God of Wine and Revelry'. Dion is probably a shortened version of Dionysus, Greek god of wine. It's also a character in Winter's Tale.


I hope you enjoyed this post!
